Strange interaction with vendor

Ordered a gram of hash a vendor on AB over 2 weeks ago. A few days ago I disputed the order as I had not received it yet. I was going to leave a comment on the dispute saying I was just holding off on the auto finalize but couldn't find anywhere to let mod know. I messaged the vendor telling them I was just making sure it didn't auto finalize until I received it and the vendor said okay.

The next day I notice half the cost of the order was in my wallet, so I messaged the vendor saying that I believe the dispute was split 50/50 but I would like to pay the rest once my order arrives.

Then I get a message from the vendor telling me that he cancelled and refunded the order, and that he doesn't think it is going to show. I found that rather worrying so I asked why and if I should consider my drop burnt.

Vendor replies saying there is a good chance that his shipper didn't ship it at all, and that he has caught a couple slip ups recently. I replied asking for a reship if possible as I would still like to sample the hash and perhaps make a larger order.

The vendor tells me that since it has been refunded our interaction is over and I can order again.

I would like to know some other people's opinion on this. I feel no need to name and shame the vendor as I have not been wronged and I am not upset, just slightly confused at the interaction.

Am I just overthinking things? Should I order again and hope it ships this time? It's only 10$ total but I don't have enough BTC right now.

Edit: The vendor is Polkadots

Name and shame, name and shame my friend because this sort of behavior should be unacceptable from a vendor. He is so obviously lying thru his teeth to get you to believe his bullshit ass excuses. Ask for the entire refund and if he continue to make excuses you know what to do my friend.

find a different vendor. You should have gotten 100% refund considering he admitted to the possibility of his shipper not sending it.

The vendor never shipped it. Don't order again, find another vendor. This is stupid, for a 10$ order... smh


[1 Points] None:

He is just hoping for people to not finalize, he is obviously lying.

Name and shame, even more important to do so if this is a big vendor. That was obviously a smooth scam.
