Read a journal by  rainthunder7 about a bad purchase, and it reminded me of my own story of the sort.

I commissioned a guy around christmas last year. The guy used to be a friend of mine and he was saying how nobody ever gives him traditional commissions so i decided to get one from him. Well he kinda talks me out of the first thing i wanted from him in the first place, and suggests another character that he seems to think i have that doesn't remotely sound like any character I have. So i tell him he must have me confused with someone else, give him a new character, and then we're all hunky dorey. So then I tell him i want the most expensive commission he offers, and he actually talks me down to a lower priced one. I'm like "okay i'm being nice anyway if he wants less of my money no hair off my back."

So this is two weeks before christmas. Fast forward to like 4 months later, i kinda forgot then remembered it. now note that i have not talked to him at all in these 3 months. I send him a note asking about the commission since i forgot about it. All of a sudden he gets all defensive, saying I was pestering him nonstop and he finally couldn't stand it, and refunded me months ago. I checked my paypal, took a screencap of that and my outbox, and sent it to him showing him not only had i not talked to him in 4 months but i also never got any refund. I still never got a note back from him, so I assume he blocked me. I never heard a word from him after that, and spent 19 dollars i'll never see again.

I don't think he conned me really, I think he just confused me for someone and was a total ass. It's a shame, because he used to be a pretty cool guy but he's just a total dipshit now.

So yeah, long story short, never get a commission from  roymccloud. Damn right i'm calling him out, not like he'll ever see this anyway.

Sure feels good to get that off my chest~
