Not sure if this is on topic enough, but I need to ask about an active commissioner who does a lot of business with this community.
A rather infamous drama community favorite buys tons of commissions, so I'm assuming she's a good customer.
She approached me not about art, but about my My Little Pony collection. She expressed an interest in buying some and I'm trying to downsize. I'd really like to do this, but her reputation for drama kind of has me scared.
Can people surrounded by drama be reliable customers? Should I give her name and just ask for her commissioned artists to speak about their experiences with her? I don't want to get in a position where I get stiffed or dragged around.
[Edit] I should specify it is Anailaigh

If she pays on a timely manner, don't worry too much about it.
And I think a name drop would be helpful so anyone can go "Don't do business with them, it's not worth the trouble" or "sure, they got drama, but they're reliable, go for it."
And you're also correct in regards to his reputation, or rather, what people -claim- about it. Artists that have done commissions or gifts for the guy have gotten backlash from other furs who don't like him at all for whatever reason.
I'd be more worried about where the money was coming from, if so.

Now I'm curious who you are looking to unload! XD
Edit: also going to second the Signature confirmation. Make sure she uses paypal too so that way you are protected.

If it is, she is generally a good customer, although the money she gets is questionable in the past.
The only downside is, she will ride you like a bitch until it is in her hands. Set up rules before hand, and if they are pre-made just ship them ASAP.

If it is not Anailaigh, then it depends on the drama / person.
Good luck!!
Other than drama and stuff she seems like an alright girl. When I was having some medical issues she was nice enough to step up and give me advice since she was had the same issue prior. (I looked up online the advice she gave me and it was pretty sound.) She seemed genuinely worried even though I don't know her other than drama stuff so it made me feel bad for just thinking she was crazy.
I have my share of drama but I've never ripped anybody off or bailed or didn't pay for anything I've bought.
I'd be worried if she has drama involving paying/buying for things. Other than that, idk. I don't think so. Just make sure you get the money first.
