Artist Beware: Jailbird

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.

D'oh! I realized after the fact that the end of your LJ cut was right after it started, so the whole thing shows up in the feed, not that it's super long anyways. If you want to edit and fix the LJ cut, go for it. :)

How odd that they silently strung you along, silently marked you for refund, and then silently refunded you. I haven't seen a case where there was such an utter lack of response from the artist... this is as bare-minimum as you can get.
I'm glad they *did* refund you at least, but I'm honestly really surprised about how they handled this. I've never seen that before and it's a bit strange.

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've seen a few comments on her page/commission journals about people being unable to contact her. I'm starting to think she just dug herself into a hole she can't climb out of..

That's so odd. But good that you got your money back - beware well warranted!

She's been taking on more than she can chew for quite a while now. I know her queue had over a hundred pieces in it at one point, which she refunded most of. Yet she keeps taking more she can't seem to keep up with. :c I'm glad you got your money back. Beware well warranted.

this is kind of disappointing- iirc she used to be someone who was really good with taking commissions and getting them done. i guess she's really dug herself into a hole by taking on too much work, i hope she catches up so these things don't keep happening- sorry you had to deal with this, OP.

And she just opened up for new commissions, That is kind of in bad taste.

She had a baby recently and it seems she just cant keep up. Its unfortunate but I agree she needs to stop taking commissions and finish her queue. (Sp?)

WHOOPS. I really don't even... sorry about that. To be honest, I saw that you took the money back, and I thought, 'who is that? Must be someone I forgot about. Glad they got their money back, though. @_@'

Well, it's fair that I'm on here. Keeping my head above water lately hasn't been... um... easy? Not on anybody. As many people as I satisfy, I let down.

Sorry you were one of the people I let down.

Been a year since commissioned with just sorrys and "hopefully soon" or "next thing" from the notes she actually replies to.
