[stalgondo.livejournal.com]

Please be forewarned, this was a commission for adult material. Some links on this post refer to NSFW material.

Who: TwistedCreations on Hentai-foundry.

Where:
NSFW link - his hentai-foundry account:
http://www.hentai-foundry.com/profile-TwistedCreations.php
Communication was mainly over MSN messenger, but I sent several emails attempting to contact him.

What:
Digital Artwork of a Female Orc with two versions of the same image, paid in two transactions of $100 each ($200 total).

When:
January 14th 2011 - I first contacted him to commission the artwork. The price and details were agreed upon.
January 28th 2011 - First rough sketch was received and I paid the first installment.
February 7th 2011 - Second rough sketch was received and I paid the second installment.

The last contact I received was on Febuary 7th 2011. I never received the final versions of the artwork.

Explain:

Things went well initially, and the final draft was sent to me on Feb. 7th. I confirmed the final changes and sent the final payment. I have received no contact since, and I have made several attempts to contact him. I have sent him numerous emails asking for any reply or notice that I am not being ignored. He did not appear to be on MSN, but using an alternate MSN account, I determined that he has blocked my main MSN account. Contacting him via the alternate MSN account caused him to block that one as well.

I attempted to retract payment via paypal, but they would not allow me to dispute a payment that was categorized as "other". I have submitted a transaction dispute to econsumer.gov in hopes of getting those payments retracted. I would prefer to have the final work, but that seems unlikely at this point.

I was referred here by the hentai-foundry forums, and I will also be posting this to hentai-foundry to warn others.
Thanks for reading,

You can't buy porn and adult novelties with Paypal I think, unless it's from.. eBay? I think? Whichever site owns Paypal these days.

But I file commissions under "services rendered", the nature of the commission itself need never come up I believe, and both parties will get screwed over if they tattle on Paypal, so *shrug*

It's in everybody's best interest to be discrete.

Oh, okay. Thank you!!

When I googled, all I was able to find was: "Prohibited use. The Child may not use the Student Account to engage in activities that may be illegal for minors under federal and/or state laws, including, but not limited to, the purchase or sale of alcohol, tobacco or adult oriented content. PayPal reserves the right to limit or close the Parent Account and/or Student Account if PayPal believes that the Student Account is associated with any prohibited use. PayPal may also block Student Account payments to any PayPal account selling products or services that PayPal believes to be inappropriate for minors."

But that just referred to the student accounts.

Thanks again!!
