I should have read the comments/feedback before buying from this one seller.
He left me a negative feedback after I left him a neutral one. Most of the comments
about him concerned his high price of shipping . My feedback to him was about
stuffing over 100 in two snack sized baggies. I tried talking to him but he is
very belligerent. Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store

There are no limits. It is up to potential buyers to look at feedback and decide
for themselves.

Rule #1 if this is a concern.

  He left me a negative feedback after I left him a neutral one. Most of the comments

This is the risk when you leave neutral or negative feedback. Both negatively
impact the "praise" for the store. Your feedback was actually mostly
positive "fast and accurate" but then you mentioned the other part and
left a neutral. So they took a ding on their praise for what's realistically
a positive review. As a store that can be infuriating.

   Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store.

Because they're a good store. There are other stores with 100+ Neutrals
and 10+ Negatives. This also represents less than .25% of their overall feedback,
so by and large they are a good store.

On bricklink, neutral feedback is almost the same as a negative one.

This store has received so far:
951 pos. feedbacks
7 neutral feedbacks
4 negative feedbacks

You left
279 pos. feedbacks
8 neutral feedbacks
2 negative feedbacks

If we calculate the ratio of positive feedbacks over total feedbacks, who should
be banned?!
Checking his feedbacks, it seems to me the problems of buyers were minor.

As for why you are upset, you left neutral feedback for several sellers because
you found that there were not enough number of baggies. This leaves a question:
why don't you ask a seller to use many baggies (and express your willingness
to pay for the cost) or even ask this before you place your order? This simple
step seem to resolve this in a simple manner.

Oh wow, I didn't even look at the OP's. Dollars to doughnuts they're
going to see their "members who have stoplisted you" number climb over
the next few days.

Yes dear Gambit57! Having written this threat, you opened yourself to being stoplisted
by potentially many sellers. Also, any seller who check your feedback history
(those high number of neutral and neg. feedbacks you left), might consider to
stoplist you. Forgetting about this, why do you need neutral fb to stores for
just this minor reason (that you could have requested beforehand)? Feedback should
help to distinguish professional sellers from bad ones. You leaving so many bad
feedbacks make good ones look bad, and disappoint them while they have done everything
correctly.
You can go to your "My activity" and check how many people have already
stoplisted you

I recommend you to:
- retract your neutral feedback via this link:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedbackDel.asp

and replace it with a positive one.

- contact the seller and explain you wrote on the forum and learnt you were wrong
so you removed your feedback and replaced it with a good one. I would say "my
apologies" and request them to remove their neg. feedback too. I think they
would do that.
- I would even recommend you to contact Bricklink's help desk and request
them to remove all the bad feedbacks you left for the number of baggies they
used.

100 parts in 2 bags is a very normal practise. Most customers prefer fewer bags.
If you want lots of bags I’d recommend asking the seller as most prefer to use
as few bags as possible as depending where you live they arnt the cheapest

I cannot see LEGO banning someone selling on bricklink for using a small number
of bags with 100 parts in each, when this is how LEGO sells its products. Especially
now they are trying to cut down on plastic waste, banning someone that is trying
to be more environmentally conscious is very unlikely.

Were all these 100 parts different?

if not, I would even pack 5000 into the same bag...
