I wonder what those new accounts are considering if they been banned before on FA they wouldn't be able to make any new accounts considering they would be permabanned.

All their another account were suspended because people reported them. FA never permanently banned them. I think instead they just added more time to the original accounts suspension.

I just-  my jaw hit the floor at how quickly they flew off the handle.  And we have another post that's about to be approved on this artist.  They received the exact same treatment.  It's absolutely wild.

Professionally, I'm annoyed they'd act like it's your fault that they agreed to do an OC design commission for a low amount and then get mad.  Designs take a long time to hash out, and it's not your fault he drastically undercharged.

This is nothing new from this person. They have a habit of this and more and was suspended from FA for a year, but kept making new accounts and getting banned.

She purposefully dragged it out past he 180 day window. Are this point you can't file a chargeback I'm guessing, and she's just purposefully dragging out giving you or anyone a refund.

Honestly if an artist hasn't delivered before the remaining 30 days of the 180 chargeback window, file a chargeback. Don't wait like this again.

This exactly. It's a common thing for scammers to drag it out by being nice and making excuses to get you passed the 180 day period. 

File a dispute through PayPal now. You have until the 18th to do so. After that the artist can basically just walk away with you money if the decide to keep ignoring you.

I've gotten all my stickers in full and am satisfied. Kaseypaws was very respectful and mature in their response, apologized, and saw it through that they finished the commission as soon as possible. Issue is resolved.

Yeah I don't think the artist is a bad person. They just seem genuinely very forgetful about commissions and replying. 

I've commissioned this artist and will tell you that you need sadly pester them a bit. They actually forgot I even bought a ych from them.

Added a second mod note.  Scourge have you gotten any kind of resolution on this?  Is the artist doing anything concerning this?

Additionally, if you receive any harassment via PM please use the report feature and we will ban them.

Actually I do have an update about it. I forgot that mention here that the commission was completed on the very last day. So I did receive the art, although there's a bit of a sour taste from it now.

I thought that was the end on it but some time after it the artist found the beware here. She started with passive aggressive comments in servers we're both apart of, but now it's boarding on targeted harassment.

Yeah I've commissioned Rexy once before and he's very bad when it comes to doing commissions. If you aren't pestering him enough to finish it it'll put you on the back burner for ideas he likes more instead of having an order to his he works. There are people in his discord still waiting from 2017 or older.

My charms have been shipped.

Wow. It sadly took this to get them to ship the order.

Okay I so one thing I've noticed when it comes to vani is the constant excuse of using being behind on rent, needs funds for moving, or etc. If they can't afford to ship the product how are they planning to afford to attend MFF? They'll never learn I swear.

Yeah looking back at their beware on the old site I'm honestly not surprised by any of this. Spends the money before completing the work. Also that part about "Scaring away customers that they need" really irritates me. So pretty much admitting to taking on more work without finishing the old. 

The end of my PayPal protection is close to ending so I told the artist I'd only give her until the 26th and this is the following conversation.

I don't want to repeat anything that anyone else has said, I think armaina's advice post is a good last word and so normally I wouldn't have added anything. I'm just...

I'm just feeling extremely flabbergasted that there has been literally NO apology for the message from the boyfriend? Am I wrong? I reread through everything twice and I didn't pick it up, can someone direct me to an apology over the boyfriend's actions if there was one? No matter how frustrated, justified or not, I might end up at a client, I would be absolutely fucking mortified if someone close to me spoke to a client that way, and on my own account no less. But it just sort of went completely uncommented upon by the artist? Was there a private apology that wasn't provided in the post?

The artist seems to be trying to take some kind of measure of responsibility for their actions, but there has been zero mention of any feeling of contrition over their boyfriend using their discord account to speak to Eelowyn in a truly revolting manner. "cant give you the cum out of my balls"? Really? You don't feel the need to offer an apology for that? I don't know if Toasti is still reading these comments, but I can't say I'd ever want to commission anyone who seemed to comfortable and justified in allowing their boyfriend to speak to their paying customers in that way. It's creepy, it's inappropriate, and the lack of any kind of apology is shocking to me.

Toasti may insist this is an "isolated incident", but I feel doubtful about that considering they confessed straight to Eelowyn at the beginning they had an "angry commissioner causing drama". I imagine if Eelowyn hadn't gone public with this beware and proof of Toasti's actions, they would have been marked down as an angry commissioner causing drama too.

This is far from an isolated incident. Back when I was in her server she'd complained about this quite a bit. Not too surprising when you have clients waiting a whole year.

Update: they have unblocked to contact me via Discord and have expressed that they will send the remaining of the owed commission as well as have stated I may keep the sketch. Screenshots included below of the update 
Screenshots seem to have sent in opposite order, so keep that in mind when reading

 

Yeah that once again seems like she's making whatever excuse she can to put any amount of blame on you. While it's good you're getting the rest of your money this beware shows it far from simply one bad experience.

OP knew of Toast as a person and financial state.

It does not make the artist look better, but this doesn't make Eelowyn look good either.

Eelowyn can contact me if they want their 6 to 8$ back so badly

Nope nope nope. Toast financial status means nothing here and it's irrelevant. Toast herself admits that some of her commissions are at least a year old. That's far passed UNACCEPTABLE. Then looking at her FA one can see that's she's constantly taking more and more work putting herself further in a hole. That's all on Toast and no one else. 

As for the knowing her as a person that doesn't matter either. This was a business transaction not a donation friendship means nothing at that point. I have artist friends I commission too, but they know to separate business from friendship. Also they would be owed $10.

I know right? like I even offered multiple times on Discord and on Picarto, that if they couldnt afford to refund, then they could do an in stream, or just finish the art. Even getting the sketch was a total uphill battle as she blocked me on discord, leaving the only way to contact being FA or email, so I left shouts to try to get the remaining of the refund or the sketch but she just deleted those every time until finally emailing me the sketch
Like with how vastly different the sketch is from the character, it doesn't even seem to be a sketch of mine at all

That's sketch looks more like a base to me honestly. But you're right more than likely she just pulled some random art.

Please please don't let this go. If you can do a charge back. Their life problems aren't yours. You paid for something and didn't get it.

So only update I have is that the artist promised to work on my commission in stream today. Sadly that didn't happen as for the whole 3 hour stream all she work on were poke fusion sketches.

Well looks like all the submissions were removed and he was suspended. 

So I have one question as I'm confused. You mentioned paying majority in cash at mff. I assume you didn't get that back. 

I love the last part of the PayPal response about the tos. If they are talking about a no refund policy, which it sounds like they are, then as far as PayPal is concerned it means nothing. 

Are you able to do a chargeback by your bank? If so then do it.

'Making me look bad now are we?'

No hun you do that yourself 😃 if stating facts about the situation paints you in a bad light... it's time for some introspection.

Know what else makes one look bad? Shitting on other people's pricing. Furry art is already priced somewhere between 'busker' and 'scratch-in-the-dirt', its dirty AF to try and reduce it THAT much.

 

I love how she tried to pay it off with a viral currency. And if I remember 115L is about $1.15 right?

They're very active on all accounts linked on their DA. Even if they had a problem with you using twink that's no excuse to steal your money and block you.

If you can file a chargeback now.
