Be careful with commissions and paypal!
12 years ago
I hope that isn't the wrong area, sorry for my bad english but it isn't my main language.
I'm here just to talk to know if you had troubles with a commission, I mean, trouble like that the artist stole you money without giving you the art and following a way that make him sure to don't loose with paypal ticket, just because he know how paypal runs...
I try to explain, I talked with a furry artist, I explain in detail and with pictures what I want and what I need, I need something specific because I've a precise idea of my fursona and I need it for a fursuit, after 3 weeks I receive a photo of a monitor with the sketch, ok, no problem I asks to receive the file to see it better, I paid it 80$ I want it perfect! When I receive the file that wasn't what I want, it looks like more as a lion king fan art than an antro fox, ok maybe the artist style, ok maybe my fault, but I ask to the artist to fix it and do it more as a fox like I asked (slender figure, small muzzle, pointing ears etc...), after a lot of messages and picture to show him that the image looks more like a lion than a fox and "no I finish to draw it as the sketch", he change the sketch and send me another sketch, now it's really good, looks like a funny fox and I like it, just there are some errors, like fatty fingers and an arm too much long of the other (and an ear like lion too), I asked to fix it and he told me that I must pay for that fix, after some pm with the same words "no you must pay for that fix" and "I'll draw it as you see now" I asked to get a refound, he told me that he don't give money back in his ToS (and that's illegal in too much states that he don't know but he do...), I propose 20$ for the sketch and 60$ refound, he answer with 30$ refund... 45/50$ for a sketch with errors??? are we crazy? after a my friend told me that a furry artist on his FaceBook account write about a "redfoxy" insulting him, I goes on his facebook profile and I see that he wrote all, and one of the message was "I'm sure to win the paypal ticket", as it was... Today I talked with Paypal support and they told me that "maybe" that people know how paypal works, that paypal doesn't cover troubles about customized object, like costumes, art or other, "maybe" the user do that knowing how to be sure to keep the money without doing the work...
and at the end of that story, I was insulted more and more on facebook, I loose my 80$ and the artist doesn't draw my commission...
Pay attention to commission! Doesn't pay more than 30% before is finished or you risk to find and artist like that one and loose your money!
Note: I used "generic pronoun" he and I never wrote the artist nickname just because I don't want make a flame or a dramma post but only a post to make you to be more careful on your transactions!

È una lista di artisti di FA stilata dai commissioner che hanno avuto problemi con delle transazioni con i suddetti artisti. Clicchi sul nome dell'artista nel menu a sinistra ed avrai una specie di sistema a feedback dove si sconsiglia questo o quell'altro disegnatore - a volte le dispute vengono anche "risolte".
