  • Beware: Poyu AKA Belle//Poyu


    PluSku
    • Who: Poyu / Belle//Poyu / LittlePoyu
      Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/poyu/
      When: 09/15/2016
      What: Commission
      NSFW Content

    I commissioned Poyu September 15th, 2016 for a NSFW YCH of my OC, Elizabeth. I paid $250 (AB price) instead of the highest bid of $80. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21088105/

    Poyu provided a Lightshot screen capture link as proof of receiving the money. lightshot_evid.png

    In addition, she provided this link in a note towards me confirming the payment had gone through. fa_note_evid.png

    On September 29th, 2016, Poyu had messaged me how she would be working on this YCH, among other commissions, that week and provided a Trello link for me to check for updates.
    https://trello.com/b/knQJ6GEr/belle-poyu-art Allegedly the lineart was complete, but there was no proof of that; no WIP provided in both the Trello or message to me.

    That was the last I ever had contact with Poyu. I attempted to contact her several times through Twitter DMs and stream whispers since that day. All of my attempts to contact her were ignored. As it turned out, she had quietly abandoned the furry community, a commission that had not been finished, and closed commissions indefinitely. Given how she completely disappeared I gave up at the time and did not know of Artists Beware.

    However, she made a sudden return to FurAffinity and very clearly forgotten about the commission. I addressed it to her: most_recent_note_evid.png

    I gave her a full week for the refund, and she still has not replied whatsoever. new_paypal_and_acknowledgement_evid.png

    It has been a full 7 days since then with nothing but radio silence. Had Poyu at the very least acknowledge the situation she is in and explained any issues she may have in her life that would otherwise prevent her from refunding me, I just might have been more lenient, but this is same exact behavior she had several years ago.

    While this artist has seemingly closed commissions indefinitely, that does not leave out the possibility of her reopening for whatever reasons she may have. In any case, this person is not to be trusted.

    Thank you for the beware on this. It seems a lot that this happens with artist and then when seeking refunds for work, they give little to no warning about what's happening/going on in terms of that refund.
