WHO: Alex Dachshund @ Furaffinity
WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/alexdachshund/
WHAT: It was agreed as a digital peice, A rave picture for a picture of one of my chars. It was so long ago I cant even remember what I wanted. :\
WHEN: About 7 months ago, here is my half: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5208869/ (NOTE: For pictures like these, I charge about 20$+)
PROOF: http://imageshack.us/f/18/alexdacca.png/
EXPLAIN: .7 months ago, we agreed to a trade. And I finished mine, as seen above. He said He'd finish his. I kept reminding him after a month later, so I waited again... he was busy. So I was like "ok~ :3" And 7 months pass. he opens many journals stating "trades open" (I only found this one) So I reminded him again. he quickly shied out.
I dont know what to do here... X__X any help?
he offered to finish it after he finished some commsions, but he keeps taking commisions and getting backed up again.
And now because of incidents like this, I CANT do trades with strangers.

Date: 2011-09-12 01:43 am (UTC)Is he really saying it's okay to jack people for art as long as he waits?
Christ. I would hate to see what he does for commissions.

Date: 2011-09-12 03:02 am (UTC)I will admit I am lazy and unorganized when it comes to trades, which is why I decided now I am no longer doing them pubically and just friends only.

Date: 2011-09-12 01:43 am (UTC)He's since deleted that journal, and he has no shouts on his page, so I'm wondering if he's doing a DFE to cover it up now.

Date: 2011-09-12 01:52 am (UTC)Although I was stupid-- I traded a hat (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6138141/) for a badge and an icon
I sent out the hat, because he asked me to, before I got my part of the trade.
After a while, I finally got the badge (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6349451/)
Although he took my icon off of his commission list, so I messaged him about it after a while and he said he forgot about it
Well, a lot of nagging later, I finally got it (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6464804/)
It was just kind of an unpleasant experience for me, iunno. I considered posting a warning here but I guess I kind of considered us to be friends, so I didn't.

Date: 2011-09-12 02:08 am (UTC)Where does he get all of the money to commission pictures of his character, if he can't even pay back the people who commissioned HIM for pictures MONTHS ago, nor can he somehow repay the people who got gypped from art trades?

Date: 2011-09-12 02:28 am (UTC)Their actions over the past few months has just confused and befoggled me :S Why open up consistantly for commissions that you just refund a month or so later?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-12 02:30 am (UTC)Because of seeing Alex's rules, I actually did change it to needing the person asking me out of the blue to do the picture first, I mean, usually I just do it and I keep getting burned. not the best policy then?

Date: 2011-09-12 03:05 am (UTC)Honestly, I will admit it, when it comes to trades, I'm pretty lazy with them and I have a hard time keeping up with them. Because of this scenario, I'm going to change my rules and just restrict trades to friends only and *I* will do the work first from now on and show the tradee (is that even a word, haha?) a preview image.
Thanks for posting it here and showing my mistakes. Now I acknowledge what I did was wrong and I won't offer trades publically anymore since I have trouble keeping up with them.
