Artist Beware: RachVerity

WHO: RachVerity

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

WHAT: Digital artwork, NSFW couples YCH commission http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18357167/

WHEN: November 27th 2015 to present

PROOF: Agreement of commission http://sta.sh/01ywsnvn5iog . Proof of payment http://sta.sh/01fvnh2pzrsn . No refund http://sta.sh/0w2gzvs9u9z . Currently blocked http://sta.sh/0wp4mq7b198 .

EXPLAIN: After commissioning the artist and all 4 ych slots were filled artist continued other ych commission projects. After a month the artist started other projects, to my knowledge only one slot of the original commission was completed (NSFW) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18527960/ . Most conversations were in shouts posted to the artists page which they have deleted. The artist has only given vague details as to my commissions completion (http://sta.sh/013gemox3x1i) until I requested the commission stopped. By that time it was passed PayPals 180 days for a dispute and the artist refused a full refund. A claim has been filed against the artist with PayPal while the artist has been arrogant through this process http://sta.sh/01pqqajdt8r9 . This artist is deliberately scamming commissioners by delaying until the customer can't file for a refund.

Not legally enforceable either. No real case law on furry commissions but for similar custom digital work would put the reasonable limit at 60 days.
