You have a few options at your disposal: Cut your losses and demand a refund. (If that fails, call your bank and force one.) Go public with your issues and see if others also have the same problems. Continue to wait. It sounds like this is a company that uses manufacturers to produce their toys. Shipment delays do happen, and larger items would have to be sent via boat. So it could legitimately be that they're going slowly through their queue of customers. It's going to be up to you if you're willing to continue waiting. -

Unfortunately, "unauthorized payments" are almost always ended in the client's favor. Especially if they are initiated by the bank. I'm not sure if you used their automated system or called them, but in some rare instances Paypal will make the seller whole out of their own funds. However, we've only seen this happen once or twice.

Russian artists are moving to using Boosty.to. The good news is that Boosty also works for Ukrainian artists, as Paypal doesn't function (normally). Navigating to the site, click "Sign Up" which pops up this window: We utilized a facebook account. Once you get set up and confirm your account, you can start paying artists. Please note, when I tested this the site did not accept Google Voice numbers. I had to use my actual phone number. The artist that you're paying will tell you how many RUB to send as the site only accepts RUB and not USD. Paypal's currency converter is here. Note: You have to be logged in to see it. You can either subscribe to an artist or add a "donation" to their pool. Subscriptions act just like Patreon: While a "goal" is set to a high number of RUB where you will submit your commission payment. Once you hit "Pay" you will be able to choose where the funds will come from. Note: Once you've chosen where the funds will come from, they will always come from there. You may have to unlink and relink your Paypal in order to change this. Some questions you didn't know you had: Will I be charged an international fee for paying in RUB? As far as I can tell, no. The conversion takes place on Paypal, so when it hits your bank it will be in USD. If I have to file a chargeback, will Paypal side with me or consider this a donation? Because this form of payment is very new, there is no telling how Paypal will treat these. These are listed as "donations" on site, so there is a chance that depending on if you use their automated system you may lose the case automatically. Please be sure to call Paypal if you have troubles. More info will be added here once I've tested with a bank card.

Edit: July 22, 2023 Bewares on Russian artists are being accepted again for digital goods only. Due to the invasion of Ukraine we will not be accepting bewares from artists from Ukraine nor Russia. Currently Ukrainian artists are fleeing to safety and Russian artists may have their access to certain sites blocked by their government. In addition, payment processors may be blocked in their country due to potential sanctions, making refunds impossible. Citizens in each of these countries are facing extreme circumstances out of their control, and they should be afforded time and empathy. Because this is a developing situation, we do not have a time frame from when we will accept posts on artists from these countries again.

Commissioned them Feb 8 and received the piece was delivered on the 11th. Lightning fast turnaround and very professional. 🙂

Howdy! Yes, at the bottom of the Submission Guidelines we provide an outline for users to follow. The items mandatory for a post to be approved are: - Original agreement proof - Proof of payment - All relevant correspondence If our queue team feels a post is cherrypicked we will return it with a request to provide full proof.
-
Post editing is turned off for everyone but moderators. If you have any updates, feel free to leave them in the comments. 🙂

I've approved this, but let's avoid hurling accusations of fabrication that can't be proven or disproven at the moment as it isn't helpful. @pisqcurio can you provide a screencap of the email with the heading visible?

We asked for the doc link to be removed, but I don't recall any of your individual images being asked to be removed. If there's anything you'd like me to toss in beyond the other two, just let me know where they go and I'll put them in! (In PM please 🙂 )
-
Because folks were really confused about the [image 1] stuff, I went ahead and just dropped the images where they should go.

BEWARE: Hyperion/ Agxinoos/ Max S./ Alexander L./ The_Tiger_of_Dawn

Hyperion has requested a final statement be added to this. I've screenshoted it and have copy pasted the text in. -
Given the fact that both the bewaree and this random account with IP addresses in extremely close proximity to each other joined and commented at the same time on a post that's three months old, we are approving this comment with a big *: Styx, once again, you are welcome to share your side of what happened here calmly and professionally. Your initial comment was hidden because it was neither calm nor professional and laced with legal language that you do not appear to understand. (Posts are neither slander nor libel if they are true. There is no such thing as "public" use. The word you're looking for is "commercial".) If this is an attempt at a gotcha; it isn't.

Since when is someone having poor file management the client's problem? Yes, they should overpaint it. And fix the lineart while they're at it, because it's not near the same quality as the examples. Your markings weren't even done neatly on the tail when the complex markings on the leopard look lovely. I'm just baffled by this. "Pick what parts are important" The ref sheet has it right there. I'm literally half blind and visually impaired and see what's wrong. Every once in a while we get a submission that just leaves me completely thrown for a loop, and this is one of them.

Updated this to be resolved. The case closed in my favor. The artist never responded.

ST3LLARPUNK opened for sketch commissions August 5, 2021. I contacted the artist, but they didn't respond initially so I figured the sale was closed. One month later they replied back saying they didn't see my DM. That's fair, I didn't comment on the sales post so things happen. We went through the exchange of details and payment was sent. On September 16, 2021 I noticed the payment I sent was unclaimed. I messaged the artist about it, but didn't receive a response. In fact, I just never received a response from the artist again despite them being active on Twitter and accepting new commissions. Edit: 12.24.21 The case closed in my favor. The artist never responded to it.

A comment was not approved as it does not meet our standards: Please note that while we are a beware site, we do not believe in penalizing artists for who they choose or choose not to do business with as per Item 1 of the Submission Guidelines.
