BEWARE: DOBERMANMORALIST

WHO: DobermanMoralist @ FA

WHERE: FurAffinity

WHAT: Digital Artwork

WHEN: September 29th, 2018 to Today

EXPLAIN: So I ordered a YCH from DobermanMoralist on September 29th. It is nearing three months since this date, and I have received NO updates on progress, NO messages, nothing. So on Monday I asked for either progress updates or a refund, and they said that they would complete mine AFTER they finished their new Christmas YCHs (which were ordered 3 weeks ago). I said "So.. you're doing the Christmas ones first, before the one I paid for three months ago?" Just to clarify, and they confirmed.

So I said "I think I'd just rather have the refund then." To which they responded "I don't do refunds, there was no queue, you weren't given a number on the queue, I'll do the art and you won't get your money back."

If you paid via PayPal they can't enforce that.
File a dispute and then upgraded it to a claim if they don't refund.
Also remember that if you mark it resolved you can't open a second dispute so don't accept any promises.

There is an open dispute, they have apparently “provided evidence” but hopefully PayPal sides with me. The person is just being nasty at this point and I have NO desire to work with them further.

If it is only a dispute PayPal won't resolve anything.
They only make the call if you escalate the dispute to a claim within 20 days of opening the dispute.

It is a claim, sorry lol PayPal terminology confuses me. It’s currently “under review” by PayPal.. I hope they side with me.

No problem. I find it confusing as well. But it's so important in getting a refund it's better to over-explain than assume.
