  • Beware : BlindCoyoteArt

    Bruma

    By Bruma

      • Who: BlindCoyote
      Where: https://twitter.com/blindcoyoteart
      When: 02/07/2019
      What: Commission
      NSFW Content

    On February 7, 2019, the artist BlindCoyote sent a public tweet offering a commission opening for one sketch for $50 USD, or $100 USD for flat colors. I publicly responded expressing interest in the opening, to which the both of us went into Twitter Direct Messages (DM) to discuss the details further. Payment was agreed upon, and conducted through Paypal.

    On May 24, 2019, BlindCoyote sent a work-in-progress sketch through the same Twitter DM channel. Details were discussed and agreed upon.

    On July 19, 2019, I had some concerns that I wished to ask BlindCoyote. He did not respond.

    On July 30, 2019, I requested the commission be cancelled. BlindCoyote still did not respond. So on August 4, 2019, an email was sent threatening to take action through a Paypal chargeback if he did not respond. He responded the next day, requesting the Paypal address thru which to send a $75 refund, which was responded to. That was the last time I ever heard from him on the matter. A refund was never issued.

    Two further emails demanding action on his part were also not returned.

    Yikes. Considering how active and chatty they are on twitter, at this point they're transparently just avoiding you and dodging the refund (considering this all stemmed from a lack of communication, I don't know what the artist hopes to gain from ghosting you!). This absolutely blows, and please don't stop dogging the artist for your refund. I hope you get it eventually. 😥

    I don't like how this is, but I think they're trying to pull one of two things: Not responding to get Bruma to forget about the possibility of the dispute/claim (waiting out the time) or to attempt to finish it if a dispute/claim arises to say "I did get it done! Here it is!" after Bruma mentioned that they are no longer wanting the commission due to lack-of-contact. If the second option and they show the proof via Paypal's Dispute/Claims communication and Bruma finds something wrong with the picture, BlindCoyoteArt may get Paypal to side with them.

    I don't care to speculate, but I think the first would be the most likely. The email threatening to initiate a chargeback dispute was issued days before the 180-day cutoff to file a dispute with PayPal. I did not pursue a chargeback after he responded, given his previously reliable reputation. Now, upon retrospect, I trusted he would be professional when I should not have.

    Able to file the bank/credit-card chargeback if you used a credit card/bank for the source of money?

    No, I'm afraid not.
