I'm frankly surprised she only has as few bewares as she has.  

Sadly from the 7 people who reached out to me since this beware they said the reason they haven’t spoken out is fear of being harassed - exact words were “did you see what happened  in Her server when duccidraws asked about her same day commission when it wasn’t done 3 weeks later? I don’t want them jumping on me like that” “ I’m smaller than her they will bury me” “the mob that comes down on anyone critical of her business practices scares me” it’s all sadly seeming to stem from a toxic environment from her watchers which I’ve been subject to myself, I had to report several people for threatening me with physical harm for reporting this.

update i have received a refund via her manager.

Have you tried going to the bank about this? They can do a force take back on money you spent if you haven't received what you paid for. Just make sure you have your evidence. I believe they will ask you "have you received what you paid for" or have you been in contact with the person" If they ask you to prove the proof and the email you sent the money to they could get your money back. After all you do deserve your money back after waiting all this time

I haven't gone to the bank, no. I have a very unhelpful one (even in cases of outright proven fraud) so i just have always dealt with paypal since they have always been reasonable. ive never had an issue with charge backs over the 180 days as long as i could prove i was owed what i was owed. but they had a new change i guess to their system so that essentially means im only getting it back if she sends it back unless i want to put more effort into it. and honestly as much as 40 dollars is a decent amount and i believe i should get it back, at this point i just want to have it closed and move on, because i'm kind of a pick your battles person and this just isnt worth expending more energy on fighting. i only made this post after finding out about several other things so i felt that it warranted bringing attention to this situation, in the hope that it can be a learning experience for others about keeping clear deadlines and expectations, and being aware of paypal policies, as well as hopefully a learning experience about managing expectations and responsibility for the artist because she does do lovely work I just think that she could be better in regard to her wait times and things like communication with individuals on deadlines, wips, that kinda thing.

A PayPal claim was filed and auto rejected for being past 180 days, I hired someone else to do the ref and they finished within 2 hrs, I sent communication to Hyperion’s assistant that as I want nor need any art from her and cannot pursue a claim to get a refund I will just consider the matter closed. As disappointing as it is that I lost out on the 40 dollars I would rather it be over than to drag it out anymore. I consider the matter closed.
