Ok it's my first time posting a report here so I'm sorry if I don't do this right. Please bear with me.
WHO: little-tana-fang on furaffinity
WHERE: Furaffinity.net
WHAT: $20 Digital badge to be delivered at a local furmeet on the 22nd of October, 2011.
WHEN: She contacted me about a badge about a month ago on my journal offering Halloween badges.
PROOF:
first contact:

saying she would pay via paypal:

asking to pay in person:

agreement on price, which is $20:

EXPLAIN: She said she would pay via paypal as usual. She then noted me again and said "walmart screwed her over" and asked if she could pay in person at a fur meet on the 22nd that we were both attending. I agreed and finished her badge, posted it to fa, laminated it, and brought it to the furmeet. She never came to the meet and has not been responding to my notes.
At this point, I have no idea what to do. Her profile says she is a minor, so I don't know if she even had the legal authority to order this badge. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/little-tana-fang/
I need advice. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried emailing her? It's listed on her FA page.
Either that, or if you're not comfortable taking full payment up-front you can have your customers pay half up-front, you complete a sketch, then when they've given the okay, they send the other half of the payment and you complete the image. Although, if that's what you're doing, I recommend a lo-res, heavily watermarked version of the sketch. :3
You're definitely not an idiot by showing good faith in people. But sometimes, it's better to protect your own behind than to give someone the benefit of the doubt, yanno?
I still will never understand how conniving some people can be. $20 is $20, art is not easy.
