Crying, terrified, may be unresponsive
Posted 9 years agoSo I didn't want anyone to know and I wanted it to be a surprise for my watchers but..
I commissioned a fur suit of River. Back in February I had a friend recommend a maker to me. I know this friend in real life and have seen the suit. She had no issues in getting it, no communication problems, no negative review at all. The suit was wonderful, a perfect style for River, and I just finally gave into the impulse and contacted the maker.
I contacted them on February 28th. And on the 29th, after much discussion of details over very frequent e-mails, I made the deposit payment. I was in frequent contact with them up until March 4th, where contact started to get sparse. I'd hear from them maybe every week and a half, sometimes two weeks, and as time went on, three and four weeks apart...
It was like my first fursuit commission all over again. Terrifying, Unsure.. Horrible.
We discussed all details and she agreed to have the partial done and shipped to me in time for AnthroCon. The original partial consisted of the head, paws, arm sleeves, feet, and a tail. I later on added leg sleeves.
Everything was set up through an invoice. I made payments after the deposit every two weeks in sums of $100, one payment being $105. The total was $1095 at the end of all the payments (which the last payment was made today).
Through-out it all, I was promised photos and more frequent contact. I have gotten two photos this entire time, of foamwork for the head, on April 25th. Almost two months since original commission date... I have received no proof of work since.
I had not heard from her for a month when she finally got back to me on May 15th stating the paws and tail were almost done. However I have since not heard from her and received nothing more. She has been active on FA, most recently being May 25th. With my deadline swiftly approaching and it being unethical to be able to finish so much in just two weeks and have it shipped to me, I started to panic.
I have gotten in contact with other current commissioners of hers. And as I have found out, one commissioner has been waiting since last July on a full suit that was to be done this May. They have had no contact with her. Another commissioner has a similar story, a deadline that has come and went, no contact at all. And my friend, who decided to commission arm sleeves, hasn't heard from her since February.
They've all started the dispute process on Paypal to get their money back. However...
Since I paid through increments on an invoice, I am not protected by Paypal's buyer protection services.. I did not know this until calling to see why I could not dispute the invoice. I can only dispute each individual payment. I am horrified. I started crying whilst in the call with the woman. And I never knew this either. She said it's in the details of the buyer protection TOS. Yet it's no where to be seen on the invoice itself? Shouldn't that be something made very CLEAR!? Now I may be out a grand!?
She said I can go to my bank and have them cancel the payments but some of those payments took money I had in my Paypal account. Do I chock that up as a loss? She said there's still a possibility that if I dispute each and every individual payment that Paypal may help me or the seller may respond... But she wanted to make me aware of the other possible outcome...
I'm so mortified. I can't stop crying. This is the constant stress I've been dealing with for a month now. I don't even want to go to AnthroCon any more. I wouldn't have went this year if not for me thinking I'd have River with me. Now not only will I not have her, but I will be out a grand and just be miserable the whole time. Fur suit envy is a really big problem with me and even though I do have a partial I bought off Furbuy last summer, it just isn't the same.
I can't do this any more. This happened with my first fur suit commission. A partial that was to be done for AC, not done until August, yet that one was only $400.. But even when it arrived it had holes and wasn't to my measurements and just everything was horrible.. I didn't dispute it. I should've... But I was young and dumb then, I was only 17..
This has completely ruined my regard for fur suit makers... I can't believe this has happened....
I'm sorry guys, I'm gonna go quiet for a bit I think... I just can't do this... I can't stop crying...
After the dispute is handled, I'm going to post up a public AB.. I don't want to provide her username because I don't want anything working against me possibly winning the dispute...

Comment below with a link to who you want or are offering on and what you're offering. Most of them have prices. Some are free. Some are OTA (offer to adopt)
If you have a toyhou.se, tell me your username so I can transfer as soon as the money is received. If you don't have a toyhou.se, I can provide a registration code, simply ask for it. If you do not want a toyhou.se, I will just hide the character after you've saved the files.MAJOR CHARACTER CLEAN OUT
Posted 9 years agoYa I'm actually just really sick of owning characters?? And really trying to step away from the species scene too. This specific journal is for characters from my main toyhouse. I totally dumped all the folders and then re-sorted them into differing levels of how easy they are to get. So there are some mains that made their way out of the "main" folder and are now up for grabs.
This is an OFFER to adopt journal. Most do NOT have a set price or expectation. So make an offer. Some have what they were bought for or how they were obtained. So that can be assumed to be a starting point, though a lot have had art added/purchased.
Will take the following:
Cash or points
Um I guess I'll take trades but just try to offer fairly
Art if I watch you or in conjunction with a decent offer (do not offer 10 pts and 4 crayon drawings e_e)
Crafted items
Band shirts or themed shirts
Video Games
Anything fox themed or related, be it tangibles or characters
Fandom merchandise (pop vinyls, mystery box minis, shirts, plush, etc)
Zootopia stuff (mainly of Nick, Finnick and Clawhauser)
Other:
Please LINK the character you're interested in. It's a little rude to make me hunt for it.
Those in "Please offer" kind of have a general price or expectation
Those in any other folder don't have a price or expectation because they're "tentative".... Make an offer.

ALL CHARACTERS IN THIS TOYHOUSE ARE UP FOR GRABS EXCEPT THOSE IN THE "KEEPING" FOLDER!!!

Posted 11 years agoI'm not meant to be loved
Update..
Posted 11 years agoI'm so freakin stressed out and discouraged. I thought I had just barely enough money for my permit but now I found out it may be even more and everything's just a mess. I need a second job but no one is hiring in the same vicinity as GameStop or my house so it's gonna be on the other side of town which means gas money I nor anyone in my family has and I just don't even know what to do any more. I'm sick of having to pay to live like this. I wish I could just run away from it all. I don't know what to do any more.
I literally am at my wits end. I just cannot keep dealing with this. Jo Ann's laying me off was the worst thing that could've happened right now. I desperately need someone to commission me or something. I really need cash which is why I'm selling a lot of characters. But no one's wanting to pay what I'm asking for them or no one's wanting to pay cash or no one can pay right now and I just don't know what to do. I really don't.
So I'm sitting here having a break down because I just can't even deal with this any more.

Update
Posted 11 years agoGoing in for surgery in two days on Tuesday. For gall bladder removal. I really don't want to do it but there seems to be no other way at this point in my life. Wish me luck all...
Sorry
Posted 11 years agoI have no time to myself any more. I was at the hospital a few days ago and I'm going to see a surgeon about getting things sorted out for good. Work is hard and stressful and there is just a ton of drama right now. I work 8am to 5pm and when I get home I try to check everything online and sort stuff out. I have like no time to even make appointments for all the medical concerns I have about myself right now. And what days I do have off I try to co-ordinate with friends to hang out. I deeply regret saying I have an open and flexible schedule when I started this job. It's going to be less work when the store opens but more sporadic scheduling which is going to really really suck.
I'm getting my first pay check Friday. Getting meaning a bunch of things. It could come in the mail Friday, could be handed to me Friday, or could be getting mailed out Friday. Who knows 8D Anyway my point in saying this is I'm going to refund everyone I owe art. I can't do it. I really can't draw right now. So unless you're okay with waiting until I have less hours of work each day (after the 25th) then I'm sorry but I'm refunding you.
I'm looking forward to hanging with friends over the weekend for the local furmeet and then a friend from AnthroCon visiting at the beginning of August. I have one medical issue scheduled for next week and another at the beginning of August.
And I guess since my whole family hates me now, I have to really push to get my license. As if I can. Permits are $35 now. I can't just go get one. And even if I do, my dad will have to be in the car with me at all times so like wtf is the difference in him driving me to work and being in the car either way like really but whatever. I hope I make enough money to pay for car insurance too haha as if. I don't even have anyone to actually teach me. Just. Ugh. Fml.
I am so done with everything haha really

Fur Suit Supplies (shopping list and buying)
Posted 11 years agoFoam Rubber - Bottom of feet paws
Sneakers - feet paws base
Fun felt - eye accents and eyebrows
Paint - Irises
Also need a suggestion for a razor to shave the fur
Already owned/on way:
Paws - http://prntscr.com/3kzz7e
Tail - http://d.facdn.net/art/dexterouszom....._tails_189.jpg
Nose - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13437284/ #4
Buckram - eBay
Foam - HobbyLobby
If you have suggestions on where to obtain these things for reasonable prices or are selling any of these things, let me know. I am also looking into buying all-white hand paws and feet paws premade so I don't have to make them. I primarily am in need of poly foam.
I also would love if anyone could link me to good feet paw and head tutorials. I am going for a cute toony look in the head and I'm wanting small feet paws that take advantage of the shoe's size and play on that. I don't want large feet paws. The smaller, the better.
