Owed List [updated as needed - last update 3-22-17]
9 years ago
When feasible, one should eat the rude.
I keep a record of everyone who owes me commissions in this journal. I list dates [exact if I have them], amount I paid, and what each piece ordered was, as well as who owes it and if there was a delivery date agreed upon [I never order things that go past 5 to 5 1/2 months out now]. This is for my own reference, and any notes listed are for my personal use only. If you've got questions or concerns [or an issue being listed here] please note me.
I no longer commission those who cannot finish projects within 166 days as this gives me a bit of leeway inside paypal's 180 day limit for filing disputes. There are exceptions to this rule and they know who they are. Most artists I will not commission if this timeline cannot be met, or I'll ask to hold off payment until my slot is due to be started [IE, I will not pay for a slot in a queue if the wait time is more than 166 days]. I do this to protect myself - I can't dispute a charge past that 180 days so holding off on payment until my slot is started ensures that the piece will be done within that 166 days. I make every effort to contact and work with an artist if it looks like that time frame is not going to be met, but I will dispute charges if I feel I'm being led on so that the dispute period lapses. All that said, I always check with artists to be sure they are okay with a slot being reserved but payment held until my piece is started. Anyone not okay with this is thanked for their time and I'll free the slot for someone else.
