Hmm, this incident may highlight a small flaw in Brickbay procedure, I can't
find that store and can't figure out how to look up the seller by name. Do
you know his seller ID or the URL to the store?

Before deciding this is a ripoff, have you explored other ways of contacting
him? Sometimes a post just stating that you are having trouble reaching a
seller will elicit contact. You may have done that, but I missed it and you
didn't say you did.
now, the obligation is on the SELLER to keep contact open, there is no
denying that. But stuff sometimes happens.
I'm not faulting you not in the least, but I am suggesting that the gentle
touch is a good place to start when posting. And I apologise if you already
did that and I missed it.

You can leave feedback on the transaction. You can tell Dan about it.
Sellers taht don't follow through on deals will lose their ability to sell
at Brickbay. Those aren't exactly great big whacking clubs but they do count
for something.
