WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/alexdachshund/
WHAT: Sketch trade
WHEN: not too long before this was posted, i finished it pretty fast. he deleted all of his journals. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5859202/
PROOF: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5859202/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/alexdacca.png/ both of which prove that he agreed to it.
EXPLAIN: He opened for sketch trades and agreed to do one with me. not long afterward i finished my piece and he approved. since then i only reminded him once since he seemed to be busy. very recently (screenshot posted above) he opened for trades and i reminded him about it and he replied saying that he will not do it because he cancelled old trades? I know it's "just" an art trade, but time is money and we had an agreement. I demanded that he either finish it or pay me back, but he does not have enough money to do so? I charge only $6 for two character sketches.
he has sent me this note in reply after deleting all his journals.
"I can do your trade I guess :/ But it will have to be after I finish all my commissions I owe. I am really sorry. I forgot about it until you reminded me and I no longer have the notes or journals of what you wanted done.
Here is my current list:

but i dont know when he would ever finish it or IF he would ever finish it. It's been quite some time now and he's changing his story now so i am a bit confused as to what's going on.
Edit: he ended up completing it after giving me quite a bit of trouble. I dont see what the problem was, especially if he couldve had it done so fast. http://www.iaza.com/work/110909C/iaza15286097663900.jpg

Date: 2011-09-12 02:48 am (UTC)If anything I am slightly annoyed at a trade being cancelled more than me not getting art - simply because trades don't work that way!

Date: 2011-09-12 02:58 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.

Date: 2011-09-12 06:54 am (UTC)But this isn't right, you can't take more trade requests when you haven't finished the old ones, and then use laziness as an excuse. If you want free art, say it's your birthday or something :p "It's my birthday guys, draw me something!"

Date: 2011-09-13 02:29 pm (UTC)This is what an Excel spreadsheet is good for. I used to have trouble keeping up with trades or commissions or what-have-you, but I created a spreadsheet that I would immediately input information into, so I could access it and see what I needed to do.
If you don't have Excel, you can sign up for a Google account and use Google Docs for free. On top of that, you can make your docs visible to others, so you could have one sheet for trades and one sheet for commissions, and send the link to the sheet to the person trading or commissioning you so they can see where they stand in line.
I work best when I have a list to work from, so having a spreadsheet with all the info I need is key to me being organized and working through things. "Being lazy" and "have trouble keeping up with them" are not very good excuses for not sending what you owe.
