Update to Commissioning TOS? Input Would Be Appreciated.
2 years ago
It's happened once again and I am getting more and more exhausted every time. Someone got impatient and made a public snide nasty comment on their profile. Mind you in this case the individual had to wait the lengthy period of two days for an edit after two days waiting for their commission. So total the individual waited 4 days for delivery on their order.
I am sure everone knows who has commissioned me, that I always ask for payment once I confirm whether or not an OC fits a particular base or if it will require edits or additional fees. I am wondering if I need to add an additional addendum to the comment just so people see it and are well aware before they send payment. Since it has become obvious to me that people do not read my page at all.
Maybe something like...
"Thank you for your interest in this commission. Please note that I am currently undergoing medical treatment. There is a possibility your commission may take 7-10 days for completion. While I try to get commissions done as quickly as possible, sometimes that is just not feesible.
If you understand this and are still willing to commission me, please send payment to Impliedsin[at]gmail.com via paypal and place your username in the comment section so I know who sent the payment for my records."
I am a little afraid it may be too much and yet at the same time... I cannot handle people being nasty right now. I have so much I am already going through. I go in for surgery again on the 19th. I am in debt to the tune of 5000 dollars. I am trying to just make it out alive and at least... marginally happy. Its just so exhausting and frustrating when I have to login to experience negativity in addition to everything else.
I don't know... any input would be welcome. Thank you guys.

I think that addendum is perfect, and for extra effect I say add bunch of font effect so it stands out more.
when sending correspondence, tack on the addendum as well. Gotta make sure it really sticks.
Impatient people are real stinky. I can understand poking after a couple weeks or months, but four days?!? especially when there's no agreed deadline. come on people!!!
To me the addendum is really good, maybe ppl would take the time to read and understand that Artists have their lives to live too!
And you have medical issues as well!
They should be understanding rather than impatient
I hope everything goes well for you sweetie ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry that this happened.
Great xD
I would deffo suggest putting some kind of timeframe note on there, that one sounds good.
Always nice to have a rough idea of time going in, means you don't hassle the artist but also gives the commissioner the chance to check in at an appropriate point if there are any delays.
