What Do You Do When A Commissioner Disappears?

General
Do you guys remember the barn owl head that I auctioned off back in February? Well the person who bought it also commissioned wings and a tail to go with it. They paid their 50% down payment, and told me they'd be sending their arm DTD in the mail, and then . . . nothing . . .
Once they had told they were going to send the DTD I put the commission on the back burner until the DTD arrived. This was happening during commission season so I had quite a few other commissions and eager commissioners distracting me. Then once all the other commissions were done I started to notice just how long it'd been since I'd heard from the owl buyer. It'd been months and I hadn't received any DTDs from them nor any correspondence.
So I reached way, way back into my email history and sent them an email asking if they were still proceeding with commission. I haven't gotten a response yet and I don't know if I will, but I pretty much gave them 72 hours to respond before I consider the commission abandoned.
Crossing my fingers, but I don't know if they'll respond, but I really don't want to have to re-auction it. I tried to leave it as long as I can, but I want to clear out my inventory before school starts otherwise the head will have to go into storage, which I want to avoid at all costs.
