I accept PayPal (USA & most International)
and Money Orders (USA residents only) in USD currency. Since this is for purely
commissioned services, all orders must be "processed" through the
contact form (or email), not through PayPal. I do
not accept checks, e-checks or any other payment method currently. When wanting
an alternative shipping method or special delivery option not listed or offered,
you would simply let me know, I’ll send a quote to your email for the
total amount for the order with a confirmation to insure that the buyer is wishing
to commit to the purchase. Once everything is settled, I will email you an invoice
for the amount to be paid (whether it's through Paypal or where to send with
Money Orders).
I will not start working on "physical" commissions until money order
is received & processed or payment is received through PayPal, however for
digitals and artworks I am willing to split the cost up in sessions: upfront,
modifications, and completion. Should digital/art commissions be canceled
in the middle of the process, the amount paid up to that point will not be refunded,
but the rest will not be charged either. Physical or most other commissions
requiring upfront full payment will only generally receive 50% of the cost refunded,
the rest of the 50% is to cover cost of time and materials.
Also note for money orders, I will hold off working
on services and commissioned products for a period of one
month at most from the time buyer states that the money order has
been sent (which should be plenty of time even with the cheapest snail
mail services, since it takes about 2 weeks). Moneys orders that are not received
by this time will have their orders automatically canceled (with a notice given
to the buyer) and any slots will be open for another to commission. For the
case of Paypal, I will wait 1 week after sending an invoice or requesting payment,
before assuming the commission is deemed "flaky", unless buyers let
me know ahead of time how they want to do their payment.
I expect to keep in fair amount of contact with buyers using money orders and
some decent contact for those using PayPal. Depending on the needed information
for the orders, should a buyer not respond within one week from the last communication
sent it is assumed that the buyer has changed their mind or canceled. The only
exception to this rule is if the contact wasn't something requiring a response,
like a notice that the item is in preparation, etc. and if the buyer is on leave
or let's me know that something's come up and they are not able to reply as
promptly. Nonresponsive buyers will be assumed as “empty carts”,
changed their minds or flaky orders. So please
expect to keep within a fair amount of contact. I am open to layaway
if the total cost is over $100 and buyers give me some sort of payment scheduling.
