PSA: Tatsuqi - chargeback

Posted 5 years, 6 months ago (Edited 5 years, 6 months ago) by Cosmind

Who: @tatsuqi - changed name to nijutsu(TH) and also own the account kurosum (TH), dinosource (TH) and Yawnyu (DA) < all listed with link/proof

What: Chargeback (90$ fullbody commission and 200$ character rights)

inb4 "200$ for one OC?!" note that the character came with a full art gallery worth much more than 200$ based on my OLD commission prices, all the character in my tentative folder come with a fair amount of art and require a minimum offer that is around 1/4 to 1/3 of the total worth (example of another tentative of mine)

What happened: Tatsuqi approached me on toyhou.se via DM on October 23rd, initially they asked for a simple fullbody commission (that i completed) then asked to also buy one of my tentative character (named Asha Jaree at the time). I sent an invoice each time, they paid both then.

> our conversation regarding their purchase of a fullbody commission from me

> commission invoice - transaction detail

> The finished commission

> the character they uploaded from the commission

> our conversation regarding their purchase of Asha Jaree

> Asha's page when i still owned him

> Character invoice -transaction detail

> I transfered the character to them but they then deleted it and reuploaded his with a slightly different name

On the 28th Paypal held the funds. I was asked by paypal to provide proof or sale (which i did) but due to Paypal's TOS regarding intangible goods paypal sided with tatsuqi and refunded them. At the time I though it was paypal's doing of holding the transaction so I messages them on th as soon as I could regarding the issues and they seemed nice about it, saying they'd resend payment asap or send me back my oc if they couldn't pay. As day passed they kept saying they didn't get refunded and proceeded to ignore my next messages which now mead me to believe they did the chargeback and planned not paying me in the first place.

> proof of our discussion after the refund/chargeback

Im not sure what I should do to be honest. I Did reupload Asha to my gallery (currently unlisted/private) and i reported both tatsuqi's repost of him and the other character that uses the art i made for them.


edit: Asha is back in my possesion and the stolen art was removed wohoo!

from what I'm aware all three of their accounts (nijutsu, kurosum and dinosource) have been closed!

let's hope they never come back on toyhouse and dont scam any more people!
