I have been buying from these guys for almost two years. I bought a314 classic, Instant shine, ammunition, p83, smooth, wanted, and even the recent mx297.
I only returned mx297 which I had purchased about 4 bottles after which they happily stuck to their promise of refunding me.
But yesterday I went to buy blonde magnet and CTTM and guess what? It wouldn't accept ANY credit cards, PayPal nothing. I found this odd. The error message was that there was a problem connecting.
I reached out to a314 over the past month and my emails have gone unanswered.
The only thing I can think is they banned me from purchasing.
I know in the past many users complained AD would say they were having server problems as a nice excuse after banning people.
A314 if you're reading this I hope you prove me wrong and tell me it was just a REAL server issue and that I can purchase again.
I have kept the majority of your products without returning them. Remember that!
Cheers!

Why would they ban somebody they could make money on?

I returned an $750 cad purchase so that could have disappointed them.
It was fully allowed by the guarantee.
Maybe they don't want to risk me returning things in the future so they removed my purchase access.
Like I said I hope I'm wrong about this but it does seem odd, and too coincidental.
I don't think I would have made that large of a purchase at any one time. The only ones I would consider are PXS and LAL, as their products have a proven track record. If I recall, the site you mentioned had a questionable pedigree on the old PT, considering whoever came up with that formula first wasn't necessarily the operator of that site.
Did you open or use the four bottles? Shouldn't cost them really in the end if they're still unused I would think. That being said there are people who will buy stuff with the intention of returning it empty just to fuck with vendors, so it's possible you got blacklisted. You could try under a dif name or something. Or maybe it was just truly a technical error. Shit happens.
Well of course I tried 2 sprays on 2 occasions out of one of the bottles to see if MX297 suited me. And it didn't. But all the other bottles I didn't touch. All 4 bottles were completely full. There was no evil mischief. I returned it. They received it. They gladly processed my refund. Next thing I know a few weeks later I'm ready to buy again , I try, and I'm banned. Furthermore, my emails went unanswered for over a month now. It's pretty obvious -- they banned/blocked me from purchasing because they lost a bulk buy sale.
