Is GlassWare still functional?

I ordered software from him weeks ago. I received confirmation. Never received the software or a download link. Multiple follow-up emails went unreplied. I think I must dispute the PayPal charge now as no software and no replies. Any suggestions?
 
as others have suggest, put tubes in the subject line. Or maybe try glassware.

Beyond the ability to get him on the phone, not much else that I know of except the avenue you propose. In the least, a PayPal dispute would be an attention grabber not that it would be nice to resolve your issue without such measures.
 
This could be a misunderstanding at best, but over time I have had some issues myself. Overall, I would say that it is 20% of the time. Still the products are incredible ideas, and if he is like me, art and business don't go hand in hand.

The last quarter is always the busiest of the year, and no doubt he's been totally swamped.
Just give him a break, it's a one man business. If the transaction went through, you'll get your stuff.
But watch the spam folder if it's a download.
 
Pretty sure the software is a download by default, unless you select a CD instead.
Did you check your spam folder?
only if they send the link. And yes, I checked my SPAM folder. And they have not send download links. I've sent 4 emails since 12/12/2023. I've haven't received even a single reply. I notified them by email yesterday if they didn't reply I would open a PayPal dispute. So I have. I understand that art an business don't go hand in hand. But if you are "in business" you need to reply to customers in a reasonable amount of time. That is just business.

I know how this is going to sound, but why not try mailing a letter?
Well…

1. The order confirmation email I received specifically states to send an email if you don’t receive the link. I sent both direct email and I sent messages using the contact form on the site. No replies at all.

2. I am an international customer. International post is slow and unreliable.

3. This is the 21st century. Almost all business and communication is conducted electronically because it is faster and more reliable.

Its much easier to solve it by requesting a refund from PayPal. Its not worth exhausting every known communication method - especially when I used the one he specified (email).
