This just happened to me. Charged $71, never received an order, and now the shop says it’s no longer available on the platform. I cant even raise a flag with them since theres now no URL to fill in the blank with and also I’d have to wait 30 days even though there’s no hope of the merchant ever replying (I’ve tried multiple times).
I don’t trust shopify at this point, and I’ll likely never make a purchase through this platform again. If someone can just set up a bogus shop that easily and then it gets deleted once they get their scam money, and I can’t even follow up with shipify itself, then this platform is totally untrustworthy. Super disappointed.
