No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by Pawel on Mar 28, 2020 12:06:23 GMT 1, Hi All,ย I recently made a purchase from a forum member here and after I transferred the money (via PayPal), I stopped receiving replies to my messages and have not hear from the seller for almost a week now.ย In normal circumstances I would consider posting the sellers username here to see if anyone has had any dealings with him/her. However, given the current pandemic (seller is from US) I am reluctant to do so just in case the reason for the no response is medically related. Any advice? Thanks Andrewย
With PayPal you have 180 days to open a claim, I maybe I would wait a bit longer.

You can send me PM anyway, I might know the seller.

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by bestdj777 on Mar 28, 2020 12:25:54 GMT 1, There are a number of reasons someone may not be responding, so I would just give it another week or so. Itโs always frustrating when the communication stops, but we are in awful times right now.

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by The Italian One on Mar 28, 2020 12:45:21 GMT 1, no excuse for a seller to not answer a mail.(unless it is seriously injured in an accident)
especially if there is a problem on shipping the art already payed.
i sold an artwork the other day (i'm from italy and we are in lock down) received payment at 9.00 am and the art was shipped at 11.00 am same day. (90% of DHL and UPS office was closed but i managed to find one open) off course with all the due precautions needed.

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by shy on Mar 28, 2020 15:50:09 GMT 1, Hi Andrew
sorry to hear this.
I have been scammed before, actually twice in the art world.
Which always makes me Leary when not dealing with face to face transactions for a private deal...better to pay a bit more and work with a reputable gallery.
In this case, You should push forward to try to resolve this matter ASAP.
Waiting won't help you
Wishing you all the very best of success!

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by andrewf on Mar 28, 2020 16:38:33 GMT 1, Hi everyone,
Thanks for all of your responses. Matter has been resolved - shopping logistics are extremely strained all over the world so as a general piece of advice is could be worth ensuring that the relevant sender country has not entered into complete lockdown before proceeding with a sale. Itโs hard to tell how long states / countries will support what will likely be classes as non-essential shipping / business.
Stay safe and stay home as much as reasonably possible!

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by Lazarus II on Mar 28, 2020 17:29:58 GMT 1, Good to hear. Most people on here seems to be very honest. I bought three things here recently and all of them have been super easy and pleasant to deal with.
most people are but over the last 10-15 years many of the good people have been stung by seemingly other good people; always buy the seller before you buy what they are selling.

No Response From Seller - Covid19?, by seadubs on Mar 29, 2020 2:10:38 GMT 1, Andrew, such a thoughtful post. Love the way youโre thinking about this. While Iโve been lucky to not have anyone infected, I got tied up because of the fallout of the virus and had to disappear from UAA for a few weeks. Iโd wait another few days and just follow up gently. Things are bad here and depending on where heโs based itโs possible someone he lives fell ill. If PayPal indeed covers you for 6 months, another 3-4 days shouldnโt hurt. You sound like a good guy though and Iโll hope for a quick resolution for you soon my friend! Best of luck!
