    On the 28th of September, 2019, I bid on and successfully won a YCH auction. There were a few issues with paypal (detailed below) but payment was eventually successfully sent on September 30th, 2019.

     

    I sent subsequent Furaffinity notes at the start of November, then again in February, then once more June requesting a refund. On all occasions, I have been promised the artwork in the next several days. On each occasion this was false, no art has been delivered, and a refund has not been given. Since winning my auction, over forty subsequent YCH's have been posted, suggesting that this artist is taking on far more work than is reasonable. This is doubly so given that they have mentioned being under the weather in their final note to me, and despite this they are posting YCHs as recently as today (30th June, 2020).

    At this stage, I have written off the amount paid, I don't expect to see it returned. I would like to warn people of my experience with this artist to avoid potential upset.

     

    Evidence below:

    The original thread naming me (11Sharn11) as the winner of the YCH:

    Yeah, this is basically the exact experience I had with him too. He tried to sell me on the idea that he doesn't do 'first come first serve.' 

    Only reason mine finally got finished was because I had some pull in the groups he advertised on, in Telegram. 

    I'm sorry this happened to you, never a fun experience.

    Same experience.

    Only reason why I was able to receive my piece was hounding them in notes on FA. The piece was themed for the new year and a gift for my husband.

    I didn't receive it til End of Jan/February.

     

    The two characters came out great but the background was never even finished.
