Sweetnightmare/KillMyTV Update

[oceandezignz.livejournal.com]

It has been brought to our attention that Sweetnightmare/KillMyTV (FA)/Silver Cherry (IB) is currently under investigation by Furaffinity Administrator Bazeel for not finishing commissions in a timely manner for years, failure to maintain a proper queue, as well as failure to properly keep her customers in the loop via WIP images.

If you are new here and unsure of who we're talking about, please review her tag here.

This is a post to touch base with all past commissioners of hers to see the exact amount of work owed. This is not a post to attack her, be it here or on any of her artsite accounts. We will be taking action against people from here that we find commenting on her pages after this post goes up.

So again, anyone who has commissioned Sweetnightmare/KillMyTV/Silver Cherry, please let us know if she still owes you work. The information we gain from this post will be seen by Bazeel for them to review. Links to past AB posts you have made or proof (screencaps of notes/Paypal payments/emails) that she does indeed owe you would be more helpful than vague comments, thank you!

EDIT: All of her FA-related accounts have been suspended for the above reasons.

EDIT 2: Before you add ANY information to this post, personal information, private emails, etc need to be censored out completely. Failure to do this will result in a screened comment.

Artist Beware: SweetNightmare Second Time

[jazz vacuity null]

Who: SweetNightmare ( http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sweetnightmare )
What: Blue Fox Partial (Can't find any pictures of it anywhere now)
Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sweetnightmare Transaction Conversation took place on Skype
When: September 4, 2013 to September 16, 2013
Proof: http://imgur.com/a/UTOXA & http://imgur.com/a/yAdzo
Explain: Was going to a furmeet Sunday September 15 and I needed a suit, I had just recently started talking to SweetNightmare again as a friend and she gave me a few excuses that made me feel sorry/bad for her (like I did in 2012) and decided to make her an offer on a blue fox partial (she sent me a picture of it when I was on mobile skype and I no longer have it and I cannot find it anywhere in her gallery now) http://i.imgur.com/mqmnln6.png as soon as she accepted the offer and me thinking she had changed I sent her the payment http://i.imgur.com/A6xkSBW.png once the payment was sent I got suspicious of her new paypal name and questioned her here http://i.imgur.com/dyBS6JC.png and as she promised she would have it out the next day. As I started reading into her FurAffinity Journals I started seeing people complaining about not getting commissioned items and no updates and being ignored which shortly after I had sent the payment she was 'busy' it played out just as my first transaction with her did. I asked for a refund she didn't respond so I opened a claim with paypal (claim conversation can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/yAdzo) So she claimed the suit had been shipped as she usually does, So I dropped the claim on her we had a conversation http://i.imgur.com/UTdr4Hu.png then she showed me how her account was over-drafted (because she was trying to put my money instantly into her account and paypal had it on hold, not only that but I noticed she was doing it to other peoples money too, I blocked out named of others. She sent me this screenshot herself) http://i.imgur.com/UgtffM6.jpg after seeing that I asked for the tracking number her excuses and here came her excuses http://i.imgur.com/By7A9MD.png , http://i.imgur.com/FVquXsa.png she ended up disappearing without giving me a tracking number so I felt it was in my best interest to re-call paypal and open back up the case, she had 10 days to respond with a tracking number which she did not and failed to post ANYTHING in the resolution center and didn't send me any further messages via resolution center and I didn't get anything from her on skype, if she sent me anything I never got it. In the end because NOTHING was heard from the seller (her) paypal closed the case in my favour.

Beware, SweetNightmare even in 2013 gives many excuses. I still think she's a nice person but I suggest not doing business with her, she's not credible when it comes to business and honest when it comes to shipping. If you want to do business with her please beware of how she acts when it comes to money.

Chevi/Shizuworks - Resolved

[latiro.livejournal.com]

Who: Chevi/Shizuworks

Where: Main account (ABANDONED)
Her commission account (in use and is still offering more commissions/adoptables/customs on it suspended since Sept. 19)

What: 2 flat-coloured commissions (one waist-up and one chibi; each cost $30, which adds up to $60, however I've decided I don't need the chibi anymore and just requested a refund)

When: February 4 - September 30

Explanation and Proof:

February 4: I emailed Chevi when I noticed one of her reminder journals for her very final commission offer (which means on the 10th of February, she'll no longer accept commissions). I asked her what I want (see the "What" section), and she charged $60 and asked for when I want them done. I told her to have them ready by the 1st of March and paid her $60.

PayPal receipt

A few days passed and it's already past the deadline, but I've read a journal post on her commission account (it was posted on Mar. 1) saying that she's sick, which is understandable. So I gave her time to get well.

March 27: Chevi made a journal in her commission account stating that she's moving by Monday and won't be online for a while until everything's settled down in mid-April (again, understandable).

For several months, she's been taking more new commissions/custom designs (despite claiming that she's no longer accepting commissions; she even opened commissions on a DA journal, but it was since deleted but I didn't get a screencap of it, unfortunately) and doing a dozen or so batches of adoptable designs (I only adopted two of them).

August 7: I've sent her an email about the update on my two commissions since they've been overdue now at this point. She promptly responded the day after that, saying she'll have them done before the end of the month. So I agree to wait a little longer.

Email convo (note I got the amount of months wrong in the first email I've sent her that day. Hence the title "whoops date confusion")

August 28: I've sent her an email, telling her that I don't need the chibi commission anymore and would like a $30 refund. Chevi responded 4 days later, saying she'll get to my refund by the end of next week, as well as my waist-up pic. I, once again, agreed to wait. She later emailed me on September 6 that she'll be refunding me once the chibi commission spot is taken, as well as mentioning that my waist-up will be done between Sept. 8 (Sunday) and Sept. 11 (Wednesday).

Email convo so far

However, on Sept. 9, Chevi puts up a journal saying she's sick and bed-ridden. So as always, I gave her time to recover.

September 13: I received an email from Chevi, telling me that no one bought a chibi spot from her yet (I told her not to give up) as well as letting me know that the waist-up is delayed due to illness for most of the week, saying she'll work on it over the weekend.

Recent update email regarding the refund/commission/her status

Since then, I hadn't heard anything about my waist-up.

---

In closing: I've been conducting business with Chevi for a few years with no issue (and got the pics I've paid for), up until the recent problem rises and I've been strung along for more than half a year.

---

ETA (as of 9/30/13): I received the completed waist-up on Sept. 22. The pic can be found here (NSFW for tasteful nudity). I also recently received my $30 refund today. And with that, my issue with Chevi/Shizuworks is resolved.
