Explain: When I saw the Poll JuniperBerri had created about wanting to take Commissions, I commented and she told me she was low on money but she would send the payment when she got payed. Being nice, I told her i could wait until she got payed, and she told me she would pay me on Wednesday of December 26 2012. When that day came by and I had posted her Commission, she told me she would pay me that day when her money was transfered into the bank. I waited, and I have not seen that Payment yet, and everey time I have sent her a Note asking why she has not payed, i have not recieved a response and when I said something about it on her Shouts, she deleted the Comment, as well as the comment I made on a journal she creadted saying that she was not going to pay anyone before they made the Commission (found here http://juniperberri.deviantart.com/journal/#/d5ogmrx )

EDIT: Made a Screenshot of Juniperberri's "ugh" Journal just in case.>> http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/7751/juniperberrisughjournal.png

This is why I have a strict rule of not posting art until I've received payment, and usually I require all the payments to be made at least after sending a sketch (usually prefer in advance). I would recommend taking down the art, until they send you payment.

This. I have never taken on commissions, but members of my family have art wise and they got burned from people not paying them after the work was completed. If they are not willing to respond to any of the notes/messages about payment, or actually sending the money, then taking down the art would be best.
