I commissioned a PYO with a forum member (no names) back in May. I bought the piece and had it shipped to them and went ahead and paid the (very reasonable) painting fee too (I knew the income was needed). I never got acknowledgement of receiving either, but did get an apology for the delay a few weeks later, and another one after that (in July). I’ve tried not to be a pest, but I’m getting frustrated and disappointed. I guess there’s not much I can really do about it. I just needed to vent a little. 🙁
If the person has too much else going on to be able to complete the commissioned work for you, maybe they could refund the painting fee and the cost of the PYO item (or send it back if it isn’t started). You’d lose what you paid for shipping, but you could move ahead with another artist.
Well I hope it all works out for you one way or another…I’m sure that if it is a forum member that they would be willing to work something out with you.

I’d thought of that too, and it’s a good idea. Problem is, I can’t even get a response from them. At this point I’m torn between frustration and hoping everything is ok with them.
Hmmm…PM her a few more times and see what she has to say? Is she active? Getting your messages and just not responding?
Good luck, Tintaglia. Personally, I think no matter how busy someone is, a PYO really doesn’t take that long. Messages are a matter of moments. That’s just rotten.

Maybe you could get a mod involved to get more info on that person. And if it doesn’t get resolved then put their name on the naughty list.skigod377 wrote:Hmmm…PM her a few more times and see what she has to say? Is she active? Getting your messages and just not responding?
No response to PM’s. Not active for a while now. I’m wondering about my last PM though. It’s just sitting in the outbox. Anyone having problems with sending PM’s?
PMs sit in the outbox until they have been read. Once they have been read they move to the sent box.

Oooh, I didn’t know that. I was wondering what the Outbox was for. I learned something today! 😀
