What points you both to not having been verified yet?

Have either of you checked this page?
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page

Are you able to effect "Store Status" change, or is the tab grayed out?

I seem to recall reading sometime after the week long site-closure, that a backlog
or slowdown of that process is to be expected. If I'm misremembering, it
seems a natural expectation nonetheless.

On the management page the button is greyed out and it says „ Your store will
remain closed until new seller verification process is completed.“

In which case, beyond posting here for possible Admin attention, I'd argue
further patience.

Sorry, but that's not true. The store is clearly marked as "CLOSED".
How can I unluck it by myself. I have no unlock-code.

Thanks.

You have to go to your store settings and unlock it yourself

We cannot open the store since it says that the verification process is still
"Pending Approval".

That's odd: if your selling priviliges are ok (see screenprint!), than forward
that to the helpdesk.
Its not logical if your granted seller rights and the store will not unlock.
Never heard that one before....

Correct - whether or not you can actually open your store is a hidden setting.

O, well that solves the puzzle: there is no solution the seller can provide.
Only the admins apparently can. Seriously?

So I am a qualified driver, I have purchased a car, paid my insurance bill and
all the taxes concerning driving a car on a public road but when I try to use,
I can't open the damn thing because somebody else has my keys?

When and why this that happen?

No, it’s:

You said you’re a qualified driver, you said the cheque is in the mail, you said
you have insurance and you said you paid the taxes concerning driving a car on
a public road but when you try to drive your car and quit the shop, you realize
the seller hasn’t given you the keys yet because they are still checking that
what you said is true.


  When and why this that happen?

Since the seller verification process was instaured, a couple years ago.

Yes, because only the admins can verify/approve new stores. The OP is not finished
with seller verification. Their stores is not verified:

Do you mean that it has been 8 days sense you applied? If so, then you will most
likely have to wait a while longer. I think I remember some comments from admin
that because of the back log that it can take at least a few weeks.


As a side thought, maybe some others here that have read these posts and have
recently been approved to open your own store can comment on how long the process
took to finally get approved.

"What BrickLink Does Next - Once we receive your New Seller Verification
request, we will review the information and contact you regarding next steps.
This process may take up to two weeks or even longer. Please note that
if you do not provide the requested information, or we are unable to verify your
identity, your request will be denied. Depending on local tax regulations, sellers
from certain countries may be required to provide additional documentation. We
will continue to seek more information from local authorities because there are

This is not correct in my eyes. Bricklink does not approve new stores, does not
reply to chats or emails. Sorry, but even though they had an attack on their
website, they should still respond to member's requests.

  but even though they had an attack on their
website, they should still respond to member's requests.

they are trying but when you run a massive site and get a massive uptick in messages
its simply not possible to instantly respond to all of them and naturally that
causes a backlog in this case it is several weeks
