How about you make them pay up first..if they don't like it you fix what they don't like.. I like the idea of sending it branded first though.. That's a good idea.. I won't ship ebay items before I get the payment..why should this be different? You make good themes fdb..sorry to hear you got screwed..

And, to keep my post on topic, no, it's not "customary" but it's an unfortunate reality that this does happen. I have had several requests, fronted with a donation promise, that never came through. Meh.
I have a good memory, and those people won't receive custom work from me anymore. Simple as that. Sure as heck isn't going to stop me from doing something I enjoy, or stop me from doing my very best on any more requests that come my way.04-08-10 09:18 AM - Ty for doing that I appreciate it! And I have a good memory also. They will NEVER receive a requested custom theme from me again either. And I was just quite mad that it happened again. I'm not quitting. I do enjoy it. I do have honest customers like "Haymond" who posted in here earlier. As well as many others. I just wish the people who burn you realized the time and effort you put in on these custom ones to make it exactly how they requested it. That is ok. From now on they will receive it with a brand on every screen untill the donation is received. That way they can still see how it works.There, I edited the thread title for you.

04-08-10 09:22 AM - Agreed. I actually have one who requested a custom version of one of my themes, stiffed me, then had the gall to request again for another one of my themes. After my initial shock/irritation, I had a good laugh about it, knowing that they would get theirs in due time.Ty for doing that I appreciate it! And I have a good memory also.

What goes around, comes around, and treating people the way you expect to be treated always works out in the end, one way or another.
04-08-10 10:00 AM - I think if someone can't afford (or doesnt want to put out) even a lousy $2 or 3 donation for a theme, then they shouldn't have such an expensive toy as a Blackberry. Those who scam the designers are pathetic, if not just plain despicable, as well as the constant beggars for freebies. Keep that up and nobody's going to do it for any of us eventually.
Very good idea for the builders to lock your themes with a trademark of some sort until the requesting party puts out a couple bucks. Go for it!
A huge Thank You to the people with the talent and the generosity to make these themes and share them with us. I've bought from and donated to fdb8231 and b15ginz, and there's another other guy who gave me one for free. They all do great work and my themes are beautiful. You guys rock, and your themes you must lock!
