I purchased electronic art, or specifically music cover artwork for a track I originally was supposed to release a few weeks back. The artist originally stated he would have the artwork finished and delivered within a week or two (7-13 days in his words, exactly). He failed to deliver, I asked for an update on the work, he told me it would be delivered on the weekend, which as of today 14 November 2019 is over a week late. I contacted the artist and as stated previously I told him how he failed to deliver and that I’d like my money back. He obliged and sent the payment back via a new transaction as if I was the seller of a product. The money is on hold, and I’m not sure if this is a scheme to try and get me to change the status of “his order” to “shipped” so he can dispute the transaction and get his money back. Should I open a dispute on my own end to ensure my safety?
