The snark was a warning to commissioners that they need to double check the terms of their card before they plan on being able to use chargeback as a last ditch/safety net option when dealing with people who can and sometimes will potentially take your money and run.

As to inappropriateness of my ref, since I didn't have ref at the time I used images in my gallery, the artist chose to use the images as opposed to the textual description that was his choice. Ultimately that's not my issue. I commission nudity and adult works. If the artist is not the appropriate age for such work their profile should states as such so that commissioners like myself can avoid them.

As to the constant barrage of "if you walk into a " comments, I'm sorry, I'm not walking into a store, I'm hiring someone to make "CUSTOM" item(s) for myself, to the specifications that I give. If the artist cannot provide what I'm looking for under my terms I will go elsewhere. I'm not buying premade art they have on hand. But the fact that it puts you off would hint to me to avoid you also. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes it's truly inexcusable and I do so hope it's resolved completely at some point.
