So about two months ago, I AB'd three auctions from one artist. I AB'd because I wanted the offered extras. Were it not for the extras, I wouldn't have AB'd.
The artist disappeared for about a month, came back claiming art block, and then started posting a handful of stuff for sale. No WIPs of my stuff, no communication, etc.
Notes regarding my extras have gone ignored.
What do I do? I've sent notes, which have thus far gone ignored. Just sent an email. The artist is semi-active right now.
I either want the extras or a partial refund. My last resort is to dispute the transactions and ultimately get chargebacks and just surrender all rights to the art I bought. That would be almost 600USD in chargebacks. I would hate to do that to someone so I'm hoping there's a peaceful resolution to this that I'm just not seeing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?

AB'd auctions, didn't get extras

It's been two months-ish, which I've been advised by others is a small amount of time. Right now I'm getting leery due to lack of communications. I'm thinking I'll email and send a note every week for a month and, if no answers by then, give the artist a week to respond to an ultimatum email. From there I'll go the dispute route. Chargeback is the absolute last resort.
It's okay if the art isn't done yet, but I do expect there's at least one or two WIPs after two months and I do expect regular communication.
