So, for the last FIVE MONTHS, I've been dealing with a toymaker called Max the Maker Toys to get a Drotar torso sex doll made. Yesterday, I gave up and had to get Paypal involved in getting me a full refund of $1150 for the project. Why? Because the guy is an incompetent scammer, that's why! He kept on putting off doing the project for these months, never getting back to me on ANYTHING unless I poked him hard enough to get a response, and the furthest he got with my project is maybe half of a printed mold? I don't even know if he had the entire mold ready to go, just half of it. This month, he went to like 3 furcons - two of which he never told me about until after the fact - which kept on delaying things even further. He always had an excuse for why he wasn't able to do it, and to "prove" what he was doing, instead, he sent me very, VERY intimate and personal photos of him, photos that no self-respecting professional toymaker would EVER show a one-off client. The straw that broke the camel's back for me, though: when asked when he would be back from the latest convention, not only did he show me personal pics of him doing fuck all at the convention, but he punctuated it by saying he was "high as balls" and couldn't remember when he'd be returning, spitballing a Thursday date, which he didn't sound at all confident about.
Does this sound like professional work to you? It certainly doesn't to me. I switched to him from a guy in Australia to do this project, solely because of the tariff situation, since this guy lived in the US not far from me, and thus wouldn't have to be subjected to them. Should've stayed with the guy in Australia. So, now, I have most of the $1150 waiting to be refunded, with the last bit in dispute, and frankly, if this puts his account in the red and strands him at the furcon, that's his loss. He gave me NO indication of what progress was made, NO indication of when he'd get to it other than "when I get to it", treated me more like a drinking buddy than a customer, delayed as much as he could with bullshit excuses... The guy's a fraud, and I would not consider him for any projects, in the future. In fact, it's because of him that I'm not going to do any more projects of my own creation with other companies, anymore. This is just bullshit. STAY AWAY FROM MAX THE MAKER TOYS!!!
