I've been an outsider looking in this entire situation since I saw the thread on Twitter a few days ago. I just saw the response from sheller and... yeah... I have a feeling the response only came out today as a form of damage control when their friends exposed parts of their DMs revealing sheller's erratic behaviors. I feel like we wouldn't have heard anything if this didn't happen today
I really hope everyone is able to get their money back! Like many others, I have my extreme doubts about the validity of this, especially after sheller's twitter response (claims to have an audio recording for proof, doesn't share it; strange/confusing explanation as to why chargebacks can't be canceled asap; no apology for anything). If there is genuinely abuse going on for them, I hope they can get out of that situation, but at the same time, I really hope they don't attempt to run away or bail last second on Friday for people that need the money
Another thing is, they say if their Paypal is restricted they will not have any way to do refunds, but why is Paypal the only option? It isn't. Then proceeds to say via bulletin that they wanted their account unbanned on Vgen to contact artists yet we have a whole calculator to contact different artists, and they can look at their charges to see them if there was someone else we don't know about that they paid to find the artists social media. The Vgen bulletin seems to give a hint that they even further just want to run away or come back in some different way in this community and they're digging themselves an even deeper hole.
yeah!! There's a bunch of others options out there. PayPal isn't the only cash transfer app out there. I really, really hope people are able to get their money back. but I have my own doubts people will see any of it again. sheller themselves revealed their other debts (the 6k) they vented about on their locked twitter account was also art-related. I just hope they get the help they need, since nobody at their age should be spending over 10k in art with money they don't have!
Yeah!!!!! The most important thing is people get their money back and hopefully Sheller gets help so no artist has to suffer through this again, and everyone can secure their livelihoods more safely! I just hope that truly comes into fruition soon!
Yeah I've been lurking this whole time but this time I had to comment... I feel worried that their priority is their own paypal account instead of the 30+ artist that got scammed because of their "mother" chargeback... :T
Like I hope things get better in terms of their personal life problems... But the more I see the more doubt I have ngl...
