    Backstory:

    10/29/2022

    Versera had posted a journal with links to their still open multiple slot ych commissions, I really liked the heart glitch ych and decided to comment to get one of my fursona Nyx. They responded to my comment and then dm'd me and I paid promptly.

    01/22/2023
    It had been a while since I had seen them post anything so I decided to check their page and noticed they hadn't posted any artwork since December 22nd and they had cleared the shouts on their page. Their public journal with their queue size had also grown significantly vs the amount of artwork they had produced so I decided to note them and ask them with my worries and ask what the status on my commission would be.

    My note had remained unread so I decided to leave a public shout hoping it'd catch their attention asking them to please respond to my note.

    After I wrote the first shout I was looking at their page and saw that they had two other accounts of theirs listed in their bio. (A NSFW account and an Adopt account) I decided to check them to see when they had last been active. They had been active posting multiple NSFW YCH's on their NSFW account as recently as four hours before my initial shout on their SFW account and had been posting YCH's on their adopt account three days before. This NSFW also had a journal with a separate queue from the one on their SFW account showing that their queue was a lot larger than I thought.

    I decided to leave a shout on the two other accounts asking them if they could read my note that I sent them on their main account.

    02/04/2023

    I checked their page again and noticed that on their NSFW account another user was posting in their shouts asking where their artwork was as they had been waiting for over a year. This raised alarm bells so I wrote them a shout stating that I was going to give them two weeks to do my artwork or refund me or I would be writing a Beware.

    They messaged me from their NSFW account stating that they were sorry for the long answer, and that they were in another country temporarily and very sick but they had their laptop and tablet so they could do my artwork if they felt better in the next few days. I responded that I was looking forward to hearing from them and waited. They had nuked their shouts on all of their accounts.

    02/13/2023 - 02/17/2023

    They uploaded three YCH pieces on their nsfw account and two brand new YCH's.

    On their sfw account they uploaded a piece of personal artwork and one YCH commission on the 15th.

     

    02/25/2025

    It had been over two weeks so I noted them again and this note has went unanswered since.

    I honestly don't feel like I'm going to get my artwork anytime soon if at all. The payment was through Boosty and I'm not sure if you can charge back a payment through Boosty through Paypal. I don't want to attempt it and get banned from the platform as I have a lot of Russian artist's that I want to commission. I'm just glad the payment was only 25 dollars.

    When is your Paypal safety window up? If I were you, I would file a chargeback as it is probably getting close to when that window is closing. It seems like they're deliberately not responding and ignoring you while taking on a ton more new pieces.

    OP paid via Boosty, which indicates a very strong possibility that they will not be able to recover the funds.

    It is one of the few methods available to Russian artists at this time, and the platform processes all payments as donations. Various individuals have noted here that they lose their claims due to the terms of service of the site if they've run into issues with the respective artists.

    Update: (I have screenshots if needed)

    After this beware was approved, I sent them a message with Artist Beware as the title and they got back to me within a day and told me that Furaffinity was being banned in their country so I needed to add them on Telegram.

    I added them and there were a few more missed deadlines but they did finish my piece today which I'm thankful for so I think this can be marked as resolved.
