None of the submissions thus far have mentioned this, it would be much larger issue if this is the case. To abstain from spreading misinformation, we would need the individuals who have experienced this to come forward, not a third party.

Note that when this happens, their partner always spams their shouts, and then they begin advertising commissions through their account. They both seem to be keen on advertising new work, but not addressing the backlog. As much as they want to claim its a minor issue with the mods, they continued to make accounts to skirt their suspensions. This is just blatant disregard for site policy and its astonishing how cavalier they both are when she's getting shut down like this.

Not sure if you've reached out to her, Roflfox, but she's changed her twitter handle recently: https://twitter.com/DappleQT And now lists an email for public contact Still actively selling multiple designs, etc from the looks of it as well.

I see that you've now deemed it resolved, but I have a few things that catch my eye as a community member in reading this post. Due to the nature of this particular type of commission, I definitely understand a prolonged timeframe in having it delivered in full. Throw in the pandemic to top it all off, and it hindered a lot of creatives to different degrees. While this artist has definitely dropped the ball in communication at a couple of points, you have also dropped off without responses to the artist at a few instances here, it paints an inconsistent picture as an outsider. And lastly? You've stated that communication has broken down, but you haven't shown a response to their message from earlier this month. Given the multiple factors to consider for this type of commission; i.e. talent scouting, script writing and the eventual recording, its befuddling that you denied the refund you've been offered for the project. Caudle has expressed wanting to continue working with you in the future in spite of all of the delays, and offered to refund you in full. It seems unfair to put this firmly on them when the multiple variables in getting this sort of project off the ground have been very visible and clearly stated to you as a client. Had I been in your shoes, I would have bowed out and continued the project another time.

While its possible that she cleans up her shouts, it does look like her twitter DMs are open. So if you're not comfortable in starting your own thread on the matter, you do have the ability to reach out to her through there. Especially since it looks like they've been cross-posting their adopts for sale. Couldn't hurt, but ultimately it is up to you.

A comment was not posted for violating rule 1 of our terms of participation: 1. Comments are to remain professional, constructive, and on topic. We are not a drama site. Targeted harassment, regardless of intention is not tolerated. While the situation can be frustrating, this is not how things of this nature are resolved.

This is the sixth post about their poor practices and things have not been addressed in the slightest. And I don't doubt that many others who have not made their story public have felt these same frustrations. You can have all the best intentions in the world, but unfortunately all of this falls on the artist. Whether they want to make the changes or if they want to continue the cycle and dig the hole deeper. We've seen some severe cases turn it around over the years, but that took so much time and dedication to make those sweeping changes. As it stands, I don't see BV changing those bad habits, not until enough people speak up to make a significant impact on her business.
-
It's unfortunate to see that this is a pattern with this artist. But I do think you need to treat your art purchases as proper transactions in the future, OP. I can understand being chummy and friendly with someone, but you two entered into a business transaction and the communication regarding it should be held to a different standard. Not everyone's experience is universal, but posting random gifs/memes to initiate a conversation regarding your commission can be off-putting to someone who may not be fully familiar with you. This artist's practices are not okay, but I wouldn't even know where to begin if someone just spammed me with random gifs to get me to talk. To the wrong person, it might trigger anxiety if you're not straight-forward about your intentions and that can make things worse down the line.

Staff has been provided proof linking these accounts to this sole paypal address from other parties who have had business dealings with this user under the listed aliases in the post. Due to the circumstances of this situation, the paypal address relating to this individual will be presented publicly, but their legal name will remain censored.

Waiting 6 months for a commission-feeling anxious..
baja replied to WinterFaint's topic in Advice for Commissioners
Outside of Paypal's window, you are left without much recourse outside of contacting your financial institution (Depending on what you used with paypal to pay them) for a possible chance of recovering your money. Note: A 'no-refunds' clause is not legally enforceable, regardless of what terms you agree to when entering a contract with an artist. If they do not provide the service you paid for, you are entitled to a refund if you so choose, but remember to act before your 180 Day window closes. This is a hard lesson learned unfortunately. -
Beware foxyfluffstudios / alex-rose-nitya / Alexanderea Rose
baja commented on Vinfang's record in Client Bewares
Again, please submit a post to us rather than submitting your updates through this other user's beware. Every comment you make here notifies the author of this post, and our entire moderating team. VosurAekira is offering you advice on the presumption that you have a claim to make as a CLIENT who has been scammed for non-delivery of goods. You cannot use Paypal's claims system to force the client to pay you for the other transactions that pertained to your particular circumstances. To avoid any further confusion, again, we are asking you to submit a FRESH BEWARE to bring further visibility to this individual's practices as a nefarious client. -

A comment has not been posted for not following our Guidelines, specifically the following: 6. External links will be declined. External bewares: Submissions that are simply "here is my link to my beware on (external site) will be declined. Please post your information to us. If you have had a similar experience with this particular client, we strongly advise you submit a formal Beware to us. Additional entries on an individual's tag help with visibility for our community at large and for anyone else who may have encountered this particular client. Thank you. -
While it's listed as a donation, I as a user of the service, had to go in and mark my transactions as "processed" back when I used the service, and iirc I was able to issue a refund if needed. Though to confirm is a bit difficult since I'm long out of that window, unfortunately! So its not exactly the same as the traditional method of receiving a donation through the platform. As guppygoopy here was using the service for commissions, the OP has a strong case to attempt to get their money back. Ko-fi also happens to offer a commissions widget on their platform, but as far as I am aware it is only limited to Paid users of the platform, not so much the rest of the userbase.
-
Ko-fi transactions aren't explicitly donations through paypal, fees are taken out and it would be possible to dispute a transaction in this case. It can be a bit confusing given the wording and how the platform is used, but as someone who's used the service in a similar manner, it's essentially like any normal service transaction paid through paypal.

Beware: weeniedogfluffbutt / Hazelnut Fluffbutt / Erika Grothe
baja commented on Corgin's record in Artist Bewares
My understanding with CashApp and things like it is that refunds happen at the discretion of the recipient? But you also need to have a card or payment method linked to use the service, iirc? While it IS a long shot, have you attempted to go through the institution you used for the payment? (i.e. your bank or card company) -

We have confirmed some of the aliases associated with this Bewaree's past business and have amended tags accordingly to reflect this. However, we are issuing a strong disclaimer to exercise caution when looking up the Bewaree: Many of their pages have very explicit NSFW materials associated with them and their business, if you feel the need to look into them, we strongly advise you do so with Safesearch ON or at your own discretion.
