The seller no longer responds and contacted me another user who paid by him, I fortunately paid with PayPal and guarantee, but if someone or has already paid by bank transfer you block it immediately if still in time !!

This forum use to be a pretty safe place to buy and sell and an invaluable place for information on the Urban Art World .
This really saddens me hope it turns round for you mate .

Unfortunately there has always been times where people have been ripped off on here. 
From the early days there was Daniel Lahoda (or something similar) and then rottenredrooster who sold the same print to multiple owners. 

There is always a risk on sending a stranger on the internet money. 
So, buy the seller first. Get references, meet up if possible, facetime etc. 

i have acted as an ‘escrow’ type service for larger purchases. 

i hope the buyer gets it rectified and be careful!

Just to add to the comments above, this site has always been my main source of buying things, had many great transactions over the years.

That said, recently had a couple of less than pleasant experiences.

Financially not out of pocket, but just makes you realise that you do really need to be careful, and take all precautions possible. Particularly newer members.

Although some people initially come across as genuine and honest, they are in fact shysters and sh&tkickers.

Glad you paid via PayPal SomeoneLikeYou, sincerely hope you get a refund. 

Hi Zippy,

A bit of a long story, but thinking no gain from mud slinging, just made me realise that you do need to be very careful with people who initially come across all genuine, then go AWOL.

As mentioned, no financial harm done, just knocks your faith in people. In this instance someone who I have gifted some bits too previously.

Mindful for perhaps newer members.

That said, still some great people on here who I have dealt with previously, your good self included.

All the best.

I got my Ojanen, it was exactly as described and perfectly packed. We had a couple of days of silence but there is a reason for everything. Happy ending.
