WHAT: Ignoring my attempts to communicate with him after winning a YCH.
WHEN: June 1st-June 6th
EXPLAIN: He won a slot in one of my YCH http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16713610/ (nsfw warning) and never replied to my first note http://puu.sh/ifWyZ/f8dd60e319.png and to the reminder http://puu.sh/ifWzB/d99c84075f.png in which I asked him for his email and his character's reference within 48 hours from the ending of my auction, as my rules state. As seen in the screenshots, the notes were seen and ignored and on his account there were signs of activity. I would have accepted a withdrawal from the auction as soon as it ended, but this silence not only made me lose time and money, but is also making the other winners wait for someone else to get the slot.
I'm posting this here to warn people about making business with him. Another artist I have contacted said they paid the YCH they won before they bid on mine, but I don't know if they acted like in my case other times.

When a person has 2 accounts, the main account makes SB, second account goes a bit higher, main account raises a bit again and then the second account raises a lot.
So the second account won't pay and the main account gets it kinda cheap and safe.
I guess if someone wants to be extra precautions they can talk to an admin to make sure the accounts aren't linked. That's always an option.
If the winner didn't decide to stay silent until the deadline, I would have asked the runner up if they were interested the same day the YCH ended, but since I did it two days later they had already spent their money on something else (rightfully, since they have no obligations after they get outbid).
