WHEN: November 11, 2011

WHAT: Hi Res Full Color Commission via her FA account ($150 paid)

EXPLAIN:
I commissioned her for another hi res full color commission on November 11th, 2011 after having two prior commissions with her that went smoothly and without trouble. I attempted to communicate with her regarding my commission as best I could over time but she was certainly difficult to reach. After the recent outbreak of AB posts and Paypal chargebacks, I tried to work out a peaceful resolution with her and put faith in her to finally complete my commission and start to fix her growing negative reputation but her actions and responses (or often lack thereof) have shown me that she isn't as interested as I had hoped she would be.

The following three images should speak for themselves and contain all the proof necessary including the screencap of the Paypal transaction. I created them to submit as proof for a Paypal claim so please excuse the brief explanation of things people of this community may consider common knowledge.

The Paypal claim was opened today and I am hoping they will file in my favor. If they do not, I will be attempting to get my money back through my bank. I am disappointed that someone with such talent is choosing to take this path but I attempted to give her the benefit of the doubt by letting her fix this and she chose not to. BEWARE!!



EDIT 1: Paypal apparently automatically closed my case against her as it was over 45 days old. Guess it's time for me to go to my bank...

EDIT 2: Filed a claim with my bank today (April 24th)... I should hear in the next 14 days if they're able to help me as typically they are only able to file cases within 90 days. If it doesn't work, I will follow the advice to call Paypal.

EDIT 3: (May 3rd) Bank was unable to help due to the amount of time that's elapsed... going to try calling Paypal instead of filing online but at this point, I just think my money is gone :C

I commissioned her like a week or two weeks before her first big A_b was posted. I'm wondering what I should do :/ She's had no contact with me, and though my commission was only $40, I'm seriously doubting I'll ever see anything resembling my piece.

i would honestly go ahead and do a chargeback, if you can.

Definitely do a chargeback. /: You probably won't get the art & 40$ is 40$. Give it to someone who will give you results.

[revalie.livejournal.com]

Right, but how? It's been far over 45 days or whatever the limit was.

Through your bank directly, if funds were removed that way. If it was from paypal balance to paypal balance however, it might not be possible.

You can call your bank, and explain that the seller is fraudulent and never provided the item you purchased. If that doesn't work, you can also try calling PayPal with the same explanation. Don't email PayPal; if it's after 45 days it'll automatically be rejected.

And I've also heard that the response can depend on the customer service rep you talk to. So if one rep won't issue a chargeback, you can call back and try a different person.
