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.

Super shady, and I say this as a slow artist :/ You don't get to take forever on a piece and then just never give someone their money because oh, it might get done one day.

At least keep your queue/trello regularly updated and linked somewhere visible, so folks can go check on their own.

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.
