OP says the customer did not pay for the suit in full (didn't specify the amount paid) plus broke their ToS and so is going to sell it without giving a refund. People are like well okay but more info? Why no refund? How much was paid?
Info comes out that the suit itself is paid in full. But the buyer would not pay shipping. Allegedly refuses to saying "find a way to make it happen" which is given as an inflammatory comment/example of what the buyer is like.
People say well unpayment is uncool but getting paid twice for one suit (original commission plus getting auction $) is uncool too. Several options are presented.
It is discovered that the seller continued work even past the breech of ToS so most people dismiss that since it is no longer grounds to cancel the commission once the seller trivialized it by not cancelling the commission right then.
However there is still the matter of non-payment..
Is discovered that the buyer calculated shipping and sent the amount. The seller double checked and was told it was not enough - they'd need at least $100 more to ship Fed Ex. (the Canadian buyer said the only shipping options were UPS and Fed Ex. And so the USA seller did not check out any cheaper shipping options. The comm set them straight I think? to USPS being a viable cheaper alternative)
Buyer's parents think they are lying? about the extra shipping costs and refuse to let the buyer pay? (it gets hazy here since the post was deleted before things got totally understood/resolved) but the buyer's alleged statement of "make it happen" seems much more understandable now.
I'm not sure why the buyer calculated out shipping originally and not the seller. But the whole commission seemingly broke up around that fact that the seller would not ship without payment in full and the buyer had (on their end) seemingly already paid in full and their folks were worried they were getting taken for a ride. Something like that.
TL;DR Seems it was more miscommunication and poor social skills on both sides. Lots of he said;she said, name calling, and yelling. The seller did not know how to handle the situation and the buyer did not know when to back off and apologize.
I think it's less a warning about either side but more about what often happens when two inexperienced/immature people (in the buyer's place literally as they are 14) try to work together.
In the post, both sides (once the buyer appeared near the bottom) were getting help they needed from older/more experienced members. It's mostly just a shame the thing was deleted when it was as the drama was minor and everything was just coming to a closing point, but hopefully it was enough (given this post by the OP) that the situation is still resolving itself behind the scenes.
