Artist Beware: Jailbird

[nutcaseart.livejournal.com]

WHO: Jailbird

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/jailbird/

WHAT: A single character flat color SFW art

WHEN: about two and half months ago

PROOF: Comment on journal http://i.imgur.com/7lEaE1X.png
Later a note asking if it was ok to move from sketch to flat color http://i.imgur.com/6CZPXwy.png
And payment sent http://i.imgur.com/RweU93m.png



EXPLAIN: After the payment was sent. I could never get them to answer anything!
Noted them about a month after I ordered the picture cause I wasn't on any updated lists http://i.imgur.com/Tacgs40.png

Also publicly commented hoping they'd answer http://i.imgur.com/KkmhHhg.png never got it.

After a week or so of no contact what so ever I noted them once more http://i.imgur.com/kJr3hz0.png
making them aware if I didn't hear back I'd be taking it up with paypal.
So when I got no please still I did just that.

After no reply I noticed I was on their refund list? http://i.imgur.com/bylRZEz.png
and I also commented publicly about that as well http://i.imgur.com/guolLxW.png

They never got back to, no reply to notes after they got payment.
I don't mind waiting for art, but you need to keep updated.
When you keep taking slots it makes people worry and you really should reply back!

I did get my money back http://i.imgur.com/c2LcETd.png without them replying once to that even.

I was very happy when I was able to get a slot, cause I've wanted art from Jailbird for a while now. After this I have unfollowed them and never want to deal with them, because they don't seem to care to reply to comments or notes to people that have paid them for work.

I find it odd that someone would be so silent, but they seem to be giving the silent treatment to several people. A little digging around and there's at least half a dozen people trying to get some kind of information on their commissions. =/

I would like to also point out that about ten days ago they decided to just nuke their notes instead of actually going through them and replying to people....

yikes. if i had typed a big long note with links or something i'd be pretty upset if i had to do it over just because they nuked their unread notes.

Doesn't a copy of your reply sit in the outbox?

I don't know about if they delete the note, but every time I've sent something it keeps the copy in my outbox.


Either way it is really frustrating because thats just bad taste in general.

ohh i forgot about that! :x

[temporalness.livejournal.com]

That's okay xD
Sometimes I actually forget about them myself, to be honest.

it also sits forever in your trash box until you clear that out too

yea that was even after I had gone to paypal. So they have a good amount of time to see my notes and comments before nuking
