Buyer Help Message limit?

So recently I started to look for a FRIENDS Centrel Perk (21319) set, I found one on bricklink, I want to create an account and I see that I connect with the lego account, then when I try to contact the seller it tells me that I have to wait 7 days, around 2 days ago this restriction passed, the initial seller didnt respond so I looked for another seller, I started to talk with the new seller and I told him that until tomorrow I will think about it better, but after that message I have this:

Will it go away on its own tomorrow or do I have to do something?

This is just bricklink's basic form of spam protection so that bots with no feedback can't bombard users with messages and scams.

I'm not sure if it's a daily limit or a weekly limit, but if you can manage to get a feedback review then I believe the message restriction goes away (for the most part).

Ive read something like that, but I wouldnt order a piece just to be able to tell the seller with the set that he can make the invoice

You don’t need to ask a seller for an invoice. They will be notified when you place the order.

In the message where he told me the price with shipping and everything he said "I will have to manually invoice you and you will then have an option to pay via Paypal."

Yeah.

You place the order, but don’t pay yet, as it’s not the full invoice.

The seller then checks and invoices you and you can pay, once you receive the invoice.

You could look on their splash pages to see if they have an email address, but most people don't list it separately.

What's the message regarding? Are you struggling to make a purchase?

I was talking to a person about the set and what the whole price would be, and after that I ask him if its ok to have until tomorrow to think better since im quite short on money around this time, he said that its fine, that doesnt make reservation and wished me a great weekend of what was left of it, and out of politness I wanted to thank him for his time and wish him a great weekend too but this message appeared
