I Consider this Character Theft
8 years ago
Hey guys so I've just had an interesting experience. 
deathfox45 claimed that he did not authorize the transaction to pay me for a character and has now disabled his account. In short, I had to refund him in order to avoid any complicated legal things (and $20 won't break me) but he still has the character so I can't resell him to recoup my loss. I would have taken more action with PayPal but he changed his email address to a different one than I had in my records so I can't really make any claims, which frustrates the hell out of me.
Sellers beware! I will be sending invoices from now on, hopefully that will help prevent things like this from happening in the future.
Thanks to all who have made legitimate purchases and have made selling these characters fun!

WARNING though, that is the same guy that another artist I watch had issues with, so he is definitely scamming people.
Would be nice if there was a way to prevent such things, but the only thing I can think of would be a delay system where neither side gets the art/money until a certain period has passed, or a confirmation type system where both parties have to confirm the transaction and once they do they cant refund it.
