Multiple users purchased digital cameras through a Shopify-based shop (AZARASOP/azarshop at azarasop.myshopify.com) after being directed from Depop listings. This appears to be a common scam involving cheap camera listings.
Current situation:
Shop website has completely disappeared
Order tracking links now show “Something went wrong. The link is no longer available”
Seller remains unresponsive to emails
Multiple victims confirmed (at least 3 users affected)
Recommended actions:
Contact bank immediately to dispute charges/stop transaction
Report merchant to Shopify as fraud via their official reporting tool
Note: Standard 30-day waiting period may not apply since the shop has vanished
Status: Unresolved. Users are proceeding with bank disputes. One community member notes refund chances are slim but worth attempting through financial institutions.

I ordered a digital camera from a shop recently, led to their website by Depop. However, shortly after I ordered I realized that this is a common scam that sellers do where they list cheap digicams on Depop with a link to a website that uses Shopify.
I contacted the seller via email multiple times to get a shipping estimate or a shipping link, but they have been unresponsive. Now, I am trying to check my order, and the order link says, “Something went wrong. The link is no longer available.” The shop website is also gone/deleted and says the same thing. How do I get my money back? What should I do from here? It hasn’t been 30 days (which is always what people say to these problems) but the thing is the shop is literally gone. There is 0 chance they are shipping my order because their website is gone and my order link has disappeared.
