Tenebear Resolved. At least for now.

That's the journal where I was attempting to collect new methods of contacting the artist.
Since he's unreachable by anyone and PayPal refused to allow me to file a dispute due to the window having expired quite some time ago, I did a charge back. I encourage all the others who at this point, gave him money to charge it back. If you didn't use a credit card, but rather used your bank account you can ask your bank for their policy and see if the bank will charge back.
The only reason for posting this as a new journal is because the edit on the old one, doesn't show up to anyone, and I want to make sure people know how I resolved this.
But as I stated in the last journal. If he ever shows back up and presents the artwork, completed and to standard of his quality along with the commission requirements I'll VERY HAPPILY reverse the charge back. If the charge back can't be reversed I'll shoot him another payment in full for services rendered.
I'll give him a little more time before adding to my list of bewares, though at this point I honestly don't believe there will be a change in the situation.
This is a key reason why commissioners do not like paying in full up front.

ok rant over.
Sorry to hear you have been waiting for a while on some commissions :(
Though if he does contest, he has to have valid proof that he supplied the item purchased, which he hasn't. He also needs something PayPal will see as a valid reason for not completing the transaction, something he doesn't have.
I'm still pretty mad/frustrated/depressed about having to do this, but he left me no choice. I hope everyone else caught up in this gets resolution as well.
I hope that maybe this shows commissioners wont be screwed over. We pay, they put out. It's an easy relationship.
This journal is not about setting an example. It's about those who got burned, getting resolution. There are a number of artists who think it's ok to take tons of jobs and get them done as they do them, not on any schedule. I'm not arguing the merit or cons of such dealings. At least not in this journal.
Artists who refuse to communicate, take your money and don't provide their end of the deal, set a VERY bad stage for legit business dealing artists. Something as bad if not worse than art thieves, money thieves.
