Selling/buying

I wanted to ask y'all before going to reporting this person to Etsy. I recently ordered 3 dog tags for my babies. After I paid the person shut down the listing. Should I wait till the day I can leave a review, or just tell esty the person stole my money? 

I have never had this happen. I had a good feeling of a community of people supportting people. But not this time

They deleted the listing or their shop? When is it scheduled to ship?

[TexasSeaTurtle]

It is both the shop and the listing. It was scheduled to ship this week but sometimes people don't give you a tracking number

Is the shop still open?  When was it to ship?  The seller may simply have not renewed the listing yet.

Open a case with Etsy if the shop is closed.

open a case, and also you could consider getting with your payment processor/bank. Shops close for a variety of reasons. Some of them are scam related. Some aren't. A long time Etsy seller was apparently killed by a road rage driver a week or so ago. I've seen nothing about this in the forums. But his shop is closed now. I would hate to think anyone would go 'oh wow, I wonder if he was scamming me...'

protect yourself, of course.

@CoquetteBath oh gosh! That's so sad. 

[CoquetteBath]

@Amaradorn 

yes it is.

it is even sadder that I think I'm the only person who put the data together to figure it out it was him.

@CoquetteBath 

Who? What?  I did not hear about this--can you link me to the thread with the info?

How terrible!

[CoquetteBath]

@ThePurplePuppy 

There was no thread. No one here seems to have realized it. The man's shop is closed.

A day after the road rage accident. So, coincidence? You could say that, but the photos that went with the news article left me utterly convinced.

I didn't 'know' him. Only from here, but....sad no one has realized this.

@CoquetteBath 

Could you tell me who it was? If you would rather just message me thru Etsy instead of posting publically .

We sometimes have people just not show up ever again and it always leaves me wondering--probably my age--Hazel and I are same age within a few weeks so you know--us oldies. {{{sigh}}}

If you still want them, I would wait until the shipping date has passed as they may still make them for you. If you file a claim, they definitely won't make them. Many sellers get out their last orders when their shop gets shut down. If you don't receive a tracking number by the ship date, then I would start a claim. You will be refunded, so it is really no big deal or rush as you have 6 months to dispute. Also, you could google their store to see if they have a website.
