Be careful accepting commissions from that person. Or at least do not be as naïve as me and request payment upfront.
On April 15, 2022, I was contacted by DumplingXiin via Twitter and Discord for a chibi couple commission slot. I was send references. My biggest mistake can be spotted already, I am used to trust in my commissioners so I decided that they can pay me after. Everything seems to be going smooth, communication was fast, we worked out the commission until the DumplingXiin was satisfied. I was happy to provide a good service. I made a second mistake. I handled a finished work before i got paid. Because I was too excited that I finished.
And once I handled it, communication nearly ceased to exist. Responses was once in a few days, and I started to get nervous. I felt a bit better once I got to invoice the person, but since then it was never really paid, and communication was poor. I was understanding and sympathetic towards their issues, but it got to a point where it started to feel very iffy and suspicious. In response to my now less positive post, I got a passive-agressive respond from DumplingXiin and another "payment will be soon" kind of excuse. I've arranged a deadline because I genially hoped things still can turn to the better. I've waited 2 weeks, only to find out I am no longer in a friend list and unable to write to them. I warned them via invoice that I'll have to take it to the public if they won't pay.
And they did not.
I won't lie, I feel absolutely terrible and crushed due to it. My goal was always to provide a positive service and I always try hard on my work. My clients means a lot to me. So being betrayed like that is a hard pill to swallow. Unfortunately I will have to change my ToS to protect myself from situations like this for now on. The timing just make this situation all even worse. I had to do extra work to cover the loss.
So once again, be very careful. Better safe than sorry.
To dumplingxiin: my DMs are free. You can contact me at any moment. This still can be resolved if you contact me.

Спасибо тебе за поддержку, милая, я держу за тебя и твое здоровье кулачки.
Крепко вас с Вео обнимаю.
You're never going to see the money for this, unfortuneately.
There was many redflags, but I was unable to see them because of my overall very positive experience with my clients, combined with stress due to events in my country. Harsh lesson learned..
