DO NOT PAY THRU FRIENDS N FAM!!
2 years ago
❤❤ ~ Remember that you are loved! ~ ❤❤ been trying to stop people from getting scammed by a art thief here on fa (callouts aren’t allowed so friends and I have just been eagle-noting anyone who ‘bids’, but this persons already stolen at least 150$!!!)
and there’s NO BUYER PROTECTIONS if you send family and friends!
You can’t just, get a refund thru it.
You can’t easily dispute because it’s only supposed to be for family and friends!
Sending it not-thru Fam n friends gives you a 6 month buyers protection.
If any artist is asking you to avoid fees/taxes with it it can get your accounts flagged/banned if they get too many!
Please protect yourself!
Artists should include the fees in their commission/adopts and go thru the proper way.
If artists ever ask I try to be polite and just tip the fee that should have been added in the first place. Try not to ever be mean, but please be safe out here!
When PayPal bans a account they often IP ban / block you from *ever* using it again. I’ve met like 6 customers who got fucked over by PayPal and can now never use it again.
Please please please stay safe!!
Check accounts! This persons only had a account for a month and the gallery has like 30+ adopt posts made in the last 5 days! Stay safe out there!!

Obviously still do research on the seller, look for independent testimonials, etc. but if you're commissioning someone in Ukraine or wanting to buy something from them to help out, don't automatically assume ill intent in that specific circumstance.
I know there's a group on FA for "verified" or "confirmed" legit artists. Need to have multiple confirmed clients vouche to be added.
