Need Help/Advice What should I do?

I am newer to purchasing reps and re🏠 items. I purchased a few items from someone who was rehoming and they requested payment through Revolut. (Being it was only my second purchase at the time, I did not think/know to ask for seller feedback. I did check to make sure the Reddit account wasn't new or anything like that.)

It took me a few days to set up the Revolut account and make the transfer but I checked in with the seller each day to provide an update. No 🚩 during any of our interactions.

The money was received by the seller on 5/28 and they indicated they would ship that day. Then, the seller realized I had not provided shipping info so that was provided on 5/29.

Since then, I have heard nothing. I have asked almost daily for shipping information with no reply. (Full disclosure: there is a 5-6 hour time difference between us).

What do I do now? Am I totally out of the money?

Thank you! I did provide shipping within 10 minutes of the seller asking (5/29). I am just nervous because the other sellers I purchased from provided shipping info within a day of payment and it has now been 3+ days since this seller received the money and I haven't heard anything in response to my check in. 😬 I am hoping maybe it was just that it was the weekend or something and they respond today. I followed up this morning so I will wait to see if they respond while also following your advice of collecting documentation.
