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

Ugh, yeah. That contest she tried to enter...D: Sadly I also remember that first journal being posted as well.

Oh my lord. Her saying she thought your cutoff was midnight as opposed to 6pm. Well just skipeedeedoo. That means she read the message at one point and meant to leave it for the last possible minute. That's not incredibly shady at all...nope...

Also, truly how many messages from customers can possible be backlogged over the course of 2 months? Has she really let so much go for so long it's become that bad? It would be so easy to just have a commission e-mail account where you can arrange the order via the sender so they're all grouped and you can go "Oh, you were __ who wanted ___."

At this point posting her backlog would probably shock more than a few people enough to put them into a coma, I'd imagine. I hope you get your money back. What nonsense she's put you through!

She keeps saying she responds to messages immediately but I can't tell you how many I've sent her that she's read but went unanswered. I'm betting the ones she responds to immediately are the ones offering to give her money. What a pity... She could have worked through her huge backload and gotten back on the right track if she just talked to her customers instead of blowing them off

I told my friend if she spent just a hour solid responding to messages a day or devoted one entire 24 hours to just answering messages in a week she'd probably be a lot better off than she is in regard to her communication. For some reason she thinks reading = communicating for whatever reason.
