i have one suggestion that i think all would greatly appreciate. the function
capability to isolate and block individual sellers. what i mean is to make it
where if you have unsatisfactory service, you the buyer, can highlight the specific
seller and put him on your own block list. much like facebook. so that way, you
no longer see the seller when you search for future lego products. for the bad
shops will be filtered out and you wont see them. i just had an order that i
cancelled. i was instructed to go thru paypal and enter all their info in order
to buy their products. instead of going thru bricklink to get thru to paypal.
in other words, they wanted to circumvent the percentage you guys make when each
sell happens. so i refuse to let them circumvent and cut you out. pretty sure
they will give me a bad review. dont care. i believe in being honest. but i find
it frustrating that i have to write down each bad seller and have to review my
own list before buying. that is timeconsuming. appreciate it!

Voted no as this is already available. Just least favourite the store and you
will then no longer see them on searches etc once you mark your search preferences.

As for the Paypal it does appear you are talking about Paypal offsite v Paypal
on site. Lots and lots of stores still use Offsite rather than onsite, for a
variety of reasons so be careful you do not end up with no sellers to buy from.
Most established stores have links in their invoices which allows the buyer to
simply follow the link, make their payment and finalise the transaction.

There is absolutely no relationship between the way you are redirected to PayPal
and whether or not the seller pays fees. Fees are paid over all non-cancelled
orders. (So it was you who made Bricklink miss out on their fees, not the seller
)

Besides, I don't really understand this course of action in general, I'd
say either you don't care, in which case you do nothing, or you care, in
which case you report a seller to have them banned. The issue you describe (were
it accurate) and the proposed solution of personally not seeing certain sellers
don't really match in my opinion.

"NEUTRAL - canceled. due to paypal being frustrating. not sellers fault."

So you don't blame the seller after all? Why then neutral? You fail to pay
for the order, the seller provides you with cancellation and as thanks/sorry
you give them neutral feedback?

Already exist. It's called the Least favourite list.

  i just had an order that i
cancelled. i was instructed to go thru paypal and enter all their info in order
to buy their products. instead of going thru bricklink to get thru to paypal.

Actually you're wrong here. Sending a PayPal payment manually is quite normal.
It's the instant checkout causing confusion.
There's absolutely no fee circumvention here. Sellers are billed separately
and pay their fees monthly.

   pretty sure they will give me a bad review. dont care. i believe in being honest

Why are you rewarding a helpful seller with a neutral. You should retract the
Feedback.
It will get you on some stoplist or on the Notes on members page.

  but i find it frustrating that i have to write down each bad seller and have to review my
own list before buying. that is timeconsuming. appreciate it!

Check your buyer settings.
