Selling it on ebay he may still refund your money but you basically said you didn't want the drawings so what is he supposed to do? He probably wants to see what they go for. What if they don't sell? That's why they get deposits, to make sure they get paid at least something for their work.
Fancy seeing you here in this section Teddy... how's it goin?

I've spoken to a couple of people you've commissioned. Both told me you're nuts. The emails from this guy seemed more than reasonable.

Ok, let me see if I understand this correctly.

1) You approve the Ivy prelim, but after the piece is finished, THEN decide you really don't like it.

2) Tim offers to try again on the piece (for no other reason than he's being a nice guy about it as you DID approve the first prelim)

3) You offer Tim some extra $$ for the first effort (kudos to you) which he didn't ask for (we'll come back to this later).

4) He tries again on the Ivy, something which looks pretty different from the first effort, which you up front say you don't like.

5) Tim decides that the time to effort ratio on that piece may not be worth his time as this is now two strikes on the character (ok, this one can go either way on if it's right or wrong).

6) Tim says he'll give you the three pieces you already like for discounted rates and forget the Ivy.

7) You wonder why he's throwing it in your face that he gave you a discount, which is really no different from your explaining to us how you were "giving money away" when you gave him some extra money??

8) Finally, when you decide that because he's not willing to bend over backwards for you for $60, you don't want to pay for ANY of the work he's already done, that you approved, and you said you liked, he's the unprofessional one in the transaction and he alone??

I thought about it but we both know what the results would be.

That Catwoman is awesome. And you don't know he's not giving you back your refund. It's only been a day...

yeah

I'm gonna agree with the others I think his offer to give you a discount on the 3 and call it a day was pretty valid. I've had way worse interactions with artists and not posted about it on message boards. Just seems like he struck the wrong nerve with you. Hopefully you get a refund and I'm guessing from how he handled the other interactions that you will shortly.
