I apparently forgot to set a reminder for this, so a WHOLE YEAR LATER, this is free.

It always confuses me when people request deletion despite the fact that they have to scroll past "posts are not deleted" before they can even read the content. At any rate, I'll be closing comments since this is resolved. OP, if anything develops please contact Xai or me and we can reopen.

This post has been marked as resolved. As a sign of good will, I have removed the beware tag despite the Artist's behavior warranting it stay post resolution. We are happy to hear you got your art.

It is. It doesn't matter if an individual posts it publicly or tell clients privately that they owe the fee. Paypal will act on any proof provided to them. Usually the first step is the user has the F&F option disabled. If it's bad enough, then the account gets frozen and any funds inside of it are notoriously difficult to recover. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full#accepting-payments

Artist Link: https://twitter.com/fraankieck I purchased a pair of icons on Feb 5th, 2021. Frankie had wips and then the final images delivered on Feb 6, 2021. An adorable style and lightning fast turnaround! I highly suggest this artist.

That's fine, but please keep in mind that we are not a drama site. In order to maintain our integrity, we try and keep comments on topic and will issue polite reminders to do so. Any further comments on how she runs her gallery will have to remain unapproved. If people see an issue with it, then it's best to take it up with FA.

Let's keep things focused on the beware at hand and less on how she runs her gallery.
-
Do you happen to have any updates after the 13th? Has she said anything since then?
-
If you've had your own experience leaving comments is fine, but adding to an artist's tag via your own post is better in the long run!
-
Hey OP!! Do you have an update? I hope you escalate that to a claim, and don't let it close.

Client refuses to pay an invoice, wants to send money instead
James replied to Vivi's topic in Advice for Artists
I think you are right to feel wary about this. "I sent the payment, sorry it's not showing up for you on Paypal. Start anyway?" is a common scam, and is a lot harder to pull off when you can see if someone's opened and read your invoice. I think you dodged a bullet, honestly. -
For sure. If you don't want it anymore or don't have any use for it in the future, then a refund is totally normal. Did they have any policies posted about what will happen if the scarf is already in production? If it's non-refundable at that point, can it be given as a gift later on?

Howdy. I'm making this write up to be as transparent as possible about an incident that occurred today. Any member of staff is not exempt from receiving a beware on themselves, and the operating procedures for it is that other mods are supposed to handle the submission. I received a beware concerning me, and removed it myself. I also gave them a warning, because I believed them to be bringing what was happening in my email to the site. The warning has been deleted by me, so I can't recall it for proof. To put it simply, I thought this person was trolling me and reacted poorly. I apologize to our readers and members as we ask you to put a lot of trust in us. The person in question has been censored. Here is the post submitted to us: Here is the warning that was given and removed. Unfortunately the admin panel doesn't have specific times when an action is recent as far as I'm aware. Here is the full email conversation which started this incident: This one was a separate chain: And here is our mod chat concerning me acknowledging that I broke protocol. Lastly a screenshot from Mailbird. There were a lot of emails, which is why I wasn't sure if this user was attempting to troll me or not. I assure the community at large that this will not happen again from me. I'm sorry.

Advice Regarding Commercial Use and Unresponsive Designer
James replied to SimpleSatyri's topic in ToS Talks
Unfortunately there's not much you can do. As per Boozy Barrister / Boozy Badger, the artist that originally made the design can pull it at any time if there is no transfer paperwork. I think your only course of action is to work with someone else to make a new design. Though I am curious, does the artist know you're the rightful owner via trade now? I'm wondering if they think you're a rando who is asking about a character that they believe belongs to someone else. And as a mod note, for everyone's safety: since this is a legal question please cite sources from professionals. Posts that are just your personal opinion will be hidden as we don't want to be responsible for shaky legal advice. -
Going through your YCHs it's obvious that some are offered shading and some are not. Unfortunately, it's usually important to make sure to list as many details as you can, because there will always be a client who needs those details spelled out. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. 😞

Not sure if beware-able as I got a refund?
James replied to theodor's topic in Advice for Commissioners
Since you already got a refund, then it is automatically downgraded to a Caution. Whether or not we will take it depends on the queue mods once they have full context. In which case I suggest to simply send it in if you'd like us to take a look at it. Be sure to include a shot of the estimated delivery time on the listing as well as all correspondence with the artist and etsy.
