Advice on payments?

[laughsatthunder.livejournal.com]

Hello again!

I've been holding onto a premade fursuit head for about 3+ months now. The buyer paid half of the owed money back in late February/early March.

I'm VERY frustrated. I understand they're going through some stuff right now involving their own health (a pregnancy), but I keep getting promised the remaining amount "by the end of the month"... And it's been 3 months. Every month they say this.

I honestly don't know what to do at this point. I can't financially afford to pay them back the money and attempt to re-sell the head because I may not be able to re-sell it.
I sent them a friendly note asking when they'll pay again and reminded them that they've been saying that they will ending with a no show.

Help?

Er... "I can't financially afford to pay them back the money"

That's where people are getting the impression that you've spent the money.

I actually almost commented that maybe they had the money, but needed it and couldn't afford to give it back, but the way that sentence was written made me think they'd spent it.

And I know you probably want to save the money, but I say that if they don't pay the rest by that deadline, refund them and call it good.
