 This imgur album may be easier to follow, but I will copy the relevant information in the proper template as well.

WHO: The artist is named Fr0stbit3 on Furaffinity.  

WHERE: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/fr0stbit3/

WHAT: Digital art, solo character NSFW commission, offered by the artist in pre-posed slots.   

WHEN: Initial contact was February 3rd, 2018 when the commission was accepted. Payment details were provided on February 4th, and payment was also sent on February 4th. 

On March 19th, email communication began inquiring about the commission, and then a month's deadline for a refund was communicated and accepted. 

On April 20th, I opened a PayPal dispute to reinitiate contact. The refund was refused, and the dispute was elevated to a claim.

On April 24th, the claim was resolved in the Buyer's (mine) favor. 

On May 1st, the Seller/Artist, Fr0stbit3, reopened the claim to appeal to PayPal.

On May 4th, the appeal was denied by PayPal. Fr0stbit3 proceeded to post an unauthorized image of my character, using the title and description to insult and defame me. I decided to create an Artists Beware entry.

EXPLAIN: This began when I asked for a pre-posed commission slot Fr0stbit3 was opening in February. The idea was a line of dragon characters in pre-made poses would be completed individually for the buyers and then posted in a group pic at the conclusion.

Artist Beware: Jinxsis

WHO: Jinx_In_Boots, jinxsis, Jinxsis Sinatra, K9Jinxsis

WHERE: https://tictail.com/naughtydogworks/bad-dog-pin-pre-order

WHAT: Bad Dog enamel pin "+extras"

WHEN: Preorders ended around 09/30/2017, payment was sent the same day

EXPLAIN: I preordered a pin from Jinx_In_Boots in September, in the time, they've had factory problems,  then said they needed the backing cards. Before preorders were sent they tweeted about selling them at FWA, with what looked like backing cards. I sent them a DM, they said they still need backing cards. Awhile passes, I notice them in other furry's photos on instagram, I ask and the user said they got the pin as a free gift with a badge. I ask Jinx again, who said they will send them the 2nd, and give a tracking number, the time passed and I have no tracking number. In a DM chat with Jinx they said the pin would arrive on the 6th, the 6th came and went with no pin or tracking number.

I have been keeping in contact with other's who have preordered and Jinx.

On May 7th, I sent another message, they said they are preparing them, even though their last message said they were sent previously. 

PROOF:
