For me, It was impossible ( just on this thread, there are already nearly 100 Invader tees gone - and Invader made an advertisement the day before on Instagram - that you could still buy tees 2 hours later !!! Norammly the site should bug after 2 seconds... I think that there will have a lot of refunds... I'm not so sure about this. Consider the Art4space print edition, which took about two hours to sell out or the invader 3d kit, which didn't instantly sell out either. The are other examples too, the Rubik Kubric 2 was on the POW website for months, although that's a little while ago. My point is, is Invader really as big as the forum would have us believe? As to refunds the BNE Facebook page states if you haven't already had a refund message you're ok
The rubik Kubric was a very large edition , not signed, not numbered ( if I have good memory - lol I have one in my kid's room ) . We all know that collectors and most of the fans of street-art like signed and numbered editions. When Invader sells in its website, it always takes time and a lot of people are not interested by kits, but prints. The last kit was too much expensive also ( the 3D was at 300 ). Collectors prefer to buy with a Lazarides or POw stamp. And we could recognize that Invader takes risk with its art ( the waffle per example ) . I am not quite sure that American collectors like a lot Invader, most English fans, and tee are not their cup of " tee " for a lot. . I know some people that had a refund. But, for me, its impossible that they have done only 200 tees. Well, never mind after all, if you have one in double ( I have all the Kidult tees, some signed ) , I am ready to buy it ;-)

T shirts deter flippers a bit I guess Yes, that's true , flippers ( even street-art collectors ) prefer prints.And there will have a big risk for them to upt the tee on Ebay ! Imagine they have a mail of refund and the time to receive the tee seems a bit longer also.. I did not see any Obey nor Faile either... ;-) Waitng for the Banksy now ;-)

Each shirt comes with a numbered, stamped and embossed Certificate of Authenticity. Now that's surprising. Kudos to Faile (and BNE perhaps) for making this happen. I had such serious doubts that there were in fact only 100 sold.

Artists4Water, by Deleted on Apr 27, 2014 12:22:30 GMT 1, Found this on their Facebook page: $7 is about 20%, that's what will be donated from all BNE products. We are not a charity, we are a company with expenses. Premium, Made in USA, organic cotton tees are about $10 to make. I figured that people would appreciate an exact figure instead of the generic "proceeds to charity" that brands usually roll with. 300 people bought tees, so far this campaign, only 2 have donated. This is what works and what is sustainable. 20% is HUGE, no company gives away 20% of it's entire revenue.
I don't know how accurate Wiki is but it says on there,
"In 2011, BNE founded the BNE Water Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean, safe water, and basic sanitation to people living in extreme poverty."
a non profit gives 100% of it's profit not 20%
Has anyone asked Fairey and Invader etc if they took a percentage from T shirt sales?

After numerous unanswered emails my friend resorted in posting his issue to the BNE instagram as he seems to spend more time there then answering customer service emails. My friend courteously posted his issue and got the response of " We are not Zappos and things like this happen". Of course the statute for a paypal claim has long expired.

Weird.

More than I was expecting at one point, so taking it as a bonus.
Another plus is me and the family will never have chapped lips ever again, 4 free lip balms included.

Bottom line it's not the paypal issue here but BNE's total lack of customer service or care to get people what he did eventually send. His idea of offering resolution is the disclaimer that they are not Zappos. Wonderful.
