Nice. Hopefully he doesn't flake on the refund

I was thinking the same thing.

Did he say when he's going to refund you?
If not, I suggest getting this going asap.

That's good to hear. Was it because he saw this thread or was directed to it?

[Arcusprime]

I actually posted something on his FB page. His response was very polite, and he was very apologetic. He is just overwhelmed I guess. I trust him to follow through with the refund.

Thanks for everyone's support, I appreciate it!

Don't celebrate until you have your money back.

Not to make a massive bump, but I've been having the same issue with Dean. I contacted him in June 2013 for a Watchmen commission. After we agreed to a price, I told him I could pay up front, which after a few weeks I did. At the same time, Dean ran a commission drive called "DeanCON" where if you paid 55 bucks you could grab a two character commission. I figured I'd help out so I ordered one. A few months later he did "DeanCON" two, in order to fix his car. I had already paid for the first two, sent him an email to see what the status was, he said they would be done soon, so I ordered a third commission. (I know, I know.)

In the next few months, I checked in with him from time to time, and his response was always "oh, just running a little behind, but they're coming". I finally got the first DeanCon commission in June, about a year after ordering it. Was fine with it, but wondered where the other two pieces were, especially the Watchmen piece which cost me significantly more than the DeanCon pieces. Cut to now, and he has stopped responding to emails, twitter messages, and he blocked me on Twitter after, admittedly, I made a snarky comment. Any ideas on what my next move should be? Or is this one where I'm going to have to cut my losses and move on.

keep at it dude. post his twitter feed - maybe i'll tweet him.

You sir, have come to the right place to gather forces to obtain your art or a refund.

We are a smart and tactful crew which usually gets results.

Question now is -- would you want the art or the $$$?

How did you pay for it? Pay Pal via checking or did you use your credit card?

I've had luck getting a charge back via cc even after the Pay Pal refund window closed.
