    This item has been downgraded from a Beware to a Caution as the artist does not have the client's money.

    On June 17, 2019, after seeing a post on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/c1l10a/art_i_will_draw_your_pc/) I went to Sketchy Kyle's fiverr to place an order for a commission totaling $42. The set due date was June 22, 2019 but on this day the artist opened a dispute to extend the deadline to June 25, 2019 citing personal reasons and being busy with other commissions likely coming from the same reddit thread. I agreed as waiting is usually no worry for me, but days then weeks passed with no updates. On July 18, 2019 I messaged them in an attempt to get back into contact with them, as fiverr showed that they had been online recently. No answer. Again I attempted communication on August 2, 2019, and again no answer. On checking their fiverr profile it would seem that they have deleted their account. Thanks to fiverr I still have the $42 but it is locked to the platform. I'm afraid I'm not the only one from the reddit thread that received the same treatment so I hope that if they should surface with a similar username others can be aware of their practices. I am unaware if they have a twitter or other social media unfortunately.

    Is there no way to get the money back from the site, even with a TT?

    I'm somewhat not surprised considering i've read quite a bit of very questionable stuff from that site itself considering there been scams and plagiarism on there.

    After having spoken with Fiverr support over a few days I was finally able to have my money transferred back to my paypal thankfully. Overall experience is stay away from fiverr however :\
