Restore purchase of Photomator not working

I cannot restore the purchase of Photomator - found my receipt, attempted to restore with my Apple ID and the below error pops up.


I spent more time going round in circles trying to find the Pixelmator support and turned up no solution.


Anyone else have solved this?

I really can't tell whose interface is being presented in your image. What happens when you tap "Contact Us"?


Try contacting Apple and see if they have accommodated this ownership transition somehow. This support article has various country telephone numbers for contacting Apple for support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support Scroll down to “Connect with live support”. If your country is not in the list, do to the “Other countries” entry at the end of the list. Not every country has telephone support, and phone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.
