A comment was hidden under item 9 of our Commenting Rules. 9. Moderators will not approve an alternate alias unless it's 100% confirmed. No: "similar styles". No: "types the same". Yes: Same email address. Yes: Same art. Yes: Same characters. Yes: Same full name. Our moderation team is well-versed in how Toyhouse functions as a platform. This artist has abandoned the TH platform over four years ago, and any uploads that credit them are submitted by other toyhouse users who have purchased their work, be it old commissions or art bases. Crediting is done in chronological order of upload and it does not indicate activity on behalf of the accused. Please do not falsely accuse people who have purchased bases off of this artist as being a part of their track record.

A comment was not approved under item 1 of our commenting rules. 1. Comments are to remain professional, constructive, and on topic. We are not a drama site. No name calling. No unnecessary hostility. This is not an opportunity to act like this is a 'gotcha' moment against either party, and we strongly recommend reading timestamps in relation to notes you may have received before returning to our platform. The artist was justifiably upset with the way this submission has been presented initially. We have provided additional resources and insight so that you may both resolve this matter amicably. We are not a platform for you to argue your grievances in such a manner, if you have been granted the means to communicate these circumstances, do so with civility. Further attempts to attack each other in the comments will NOT be approved.

Its up to you if you want to follow through with it. If you are still in the window and you have actively been ignored after trying everything (including that paypal email) to contact them? I would go through with a claim. Without getting into super specific details on your particular situation. My personal threshold without seeing any progress and having 0 communication from an artist I've commissioned is 3 months before I escalate. I always deliver an ultimatum for a response with a set date, within my protection window, to allow them to respond or refund of their own volition. If you are simply being waitlisted and THAT is the window for them to get to your commission, and they expect it to be prepaid? To me, that is a red flag. I simply cannot put that level of trust in someone unless I have a years-long history of working with them on past commissions. No matter how popular they are, if the wait is that extensive and there's no communication, it's simply too risky for me to take that kind of gamble.

The same way that anyone deals with unwanted contact regardless of intent. Block them if you feel your boundaries are not being respected.

That is your prerogative. Without getting into finer details, the artist communicated with you that there would be delays after you paid, and you got a response a month ago. You have also mentioned you and the artist have a language barrier. The commission etiquette can vary from country to country, and discussions may need to be simplified to get your point across. If you are antsy this early into the commission process, you should make a habit to look over an artist's TOS or discuss concrete deadlines for completion with an artist. I think it is unrealistic to expect weekly updates if an artist has a queue with other clients pending, and not just yourself. Especially if they offer big projects, illustrative works and pieces with multiple characters. Getting into 'what if' scenarios are often resolved by reviewing the terms you agreed to as a client and if you feel comfortable in proceeding with anyone. I personally do not bother with a lack of updates after a month, my threshold is 2-3 months without communication after payment.
