Mod Note: A comment was hidden for being non constructive/punching down due to the placing of blame on OP for going F&F route. The onus of properly collecting payment is on the side of the Business as Clients will follow their directions in good faith and we cannot assume everyone knows their 'rights' between the two modes of payment.

We have told you repeatedly we do not deal in beware hypotheticals (we deal in facts and evidence, not summaries) for advice posts. You submit to our queue and get your answers that way. But I'll entertain you this once. Ideally if this client has paid you and is using the product, you're more than welcome to display it. 20$ USD doesn't grant posting exclusivity to the client. But if they aren't crediting you properly it MIGHT fall under a Caution. Although last I recall you are an "AI artist", are you not? If that's the case don't bother at all, we wouldn't take it if you paid us.

Upon an intensive month long discussion amongst the Moderation Staff; we are making the decision to NO LONGER accept bewares with a price point of $20USD or Less. We are also no longer accepting virtual currency (VC) bewares; unless the VC can be converted into fiat currency. There WILL BE exceptions for the usual bad faith suspects; as well as anyone who may be developing a pattern of offering very low price point products and not delivering. It will be handled on a case by case basis, as all our posts are.

I am in a hundred percent agreement with James. There is a time and place where an artist hawking at/approaching the customer one-on-one is acceptable and fair game. It is unfortunately not in an online space. Are you even following these people who approach you first and/or doing research on them before agreeing to giving over your money? Because it seems you're able to discover they're no good after the fact so why not before hand? -

No transaction? You're in luck because while you're only out time; you're not out money. As annoying as it is to want a particular artist and they ghost you like this when you're so ready to work with them, take it as a sign of what was liiely to come. Find a new artist and don't bother with the one who stopped contacting you.

We understand that RhinoBoy and some of his fans may be acting out on Twitter at the moment and that the subject of this beware himself is asking for understanding: But how can OP give any more understanding when it's been over a year; April 2021-October 2021 there is nothing January 2022 a promise of a sketch April 2022 ... a promise of a sketch June 2022 another promise And... nothing. Regardless of his schedule if he knows he's busy running his con and other businesses; he should refund and not leave people hanging if he can't communicate directly to clients rather than tweet he's sorry. Even now his immediate QRT from the AV Twitter is asking for more patience than he deserves... I hope he realizes that in the end: this beware is not being "a Karen" (talk about watering down a term) this beware is asking for accountability and anyone who tells Rhino it's OKAY is no better enabling bad behavior.

Also see the trello for the stickers; its got a big ol CANCELLED on it.

Gotta say, Adiago once again proves they're a piece of work. Because they literally came to *you* with their excuses looking to get extra money. And because the sky was wrong that day for them; you can't get anything in return? No refund no art, plus "taking back" the adopt? How about they return that interest free loan instead of acting like a catty diva.

1.) Yes; they don't know you and they might assume you're causing unnecessary grief. 2. Just file the beware for review. Why? See point 1. 3. This is basically considered harassment by almost every art site community online. Its not a good look so please don't. 4. See point 2. If accepted you can tell the artist, RT the update tweet from our Twitter but that's it. Give this artist an ultimatum with a hard deadline for completion or they can refund you. No extensions, nada. You're not friends you're doing business and you both need to treat it as such.

Post will be marked resolved. As a reminder; posts are never deleted unless proven to be a fabrication.

Hellbryndjar really has no excuses for this behavior. It's pretty vile to have a pattern of this. OP I'm sorry they treated you like this its ridiculous and immature. They shouldn't be commissioning people if they can't act right.

BEWARE: Hyperion/ Agxinoos/ Max S./ Alexander L./ The_Tiger_of_Dawn
Xaila commented on Sarahcat's record in Client Bewares
This is obviously an unfortunate situation and I hope you're attempting to follow up with Paypal over the phone vs. Email just in case. But please for the love of God Sarah why are you using chat apps like Telegram on business? Email. Only. Email. Only. Email only. You've been in this game and using this community too long to be using chat apps for anything transactional. Also please slap big old "All Sales Final" on your pre-made items. Save yourself from Buyer's Remorse regarding this kind of stuff. Giving them these inches let's them take miles (and chargebacks) out of you. -
The only thing we agree on (and may I remind you, that you conceded to) is you went way overboard on a full chargeback. Anything else Adiago says, is them obviously getting at your goat (esp. with that language Jesus lawd)
-
We're allowed to be a little disappointed to see you ask for a full 570 dollar REFUND because you removed the text. Add it back. You don't have to like it; but you also know very well artist's rights on FA are taken seriously when it comes to uploading/reuploading. OP was and is allowed to be uncomfortable with what you did. And to no longer do work with these particular characters, nor hear any 'sides'. You yourself know how Adiago acts and their temperament; so why would you fight OP wanting to protect themselves? Why would you in what for all we know is a fit of petty... try to drag them into whatever is between you and Adiago? Literally I have nothing against you (although I have a feeling you think otherwise). Like I said in my prior post; I have only ever seen you as someone who usually champions artists! So this is a step back from what I've seen of you in the past. Add it back. No one is saying you need to display the credit in 100 point font in the center of the image. 6 point font in the lower right corner can't be that harmful; fulfills the requirement, its not obtrusive and its done with. I hope you drop the chargeback.

Raven owns the designs because she bought them. But I believe she had a falling out with the owner (Adiago) so of course said species owner 'cuts' those characters out of the species; but instead of going their own way and making a new name, Raven continues to call them by that particular species. Why? Don't know.
-
I'm just... disappointed. Raven is someone who obviously understands how much goes into art, and to my memory; has in the past been very supportive of artist's rights. So what happened? To become so very very *petty* like this; wow. Its painful to see.

I wouldn't consider what Minami 'sold' to someone else to be OP's character. OP considers his bee character to be male, fluffy features be damned. What Minami drew was basic moe girl. Also re: your other comment. We don't always require screencaps of the payment so long as we can get proof of the artist/client acknowledging the sale in some form; as Minami here has.
-
Just a quick note; they traded/sold the blanket away to a *different* individual because OP was cancelling this particular trade/commission due to how Minami was treating them, therefore the blanket was not Minami's to claim.

Xaila commented on Vinfang's record in Client Bewares
I am 10000% sorry that they got to you. I hope somehow you can turn their work into a YCH or an adopt to recoup lost money.
