Pets
It is with a heavy heart that Aywas brings you the opportunity to participate in the cash auctions of hundreds of custom pets. The reason for this is that the previous owner of the pets has caused us to fall nearly $5000 in debt due to chargebacks. I have a rant thread that goes into some detail regarding the situation.
We have to seek out a way to make ourselves whole for the damage done to us--both in terms of money lost and potential damage to the good standing of our payments account. As you can understand, if the chargebacks (which now number over a hundred in the past two months from this one individual) cause us to lose our payment accounts, that would be devastating. A high number of chargebacks can cause payment processors to cancel accounts with a company due to high risk.
Our PayPal account is not currently affected by this problem, but I have no idea if the volume of chargebacks on Amazon Payments could affect it in the future.
The USD Auctions page reflects all of the custom pets that we have decided to reclaim from the player who filed the chargebacks. You can pledge a bid on the pet by entering an amount and an invoice e-mail address.
Please note:
1. Bids made through USD auctions cannot be canceled.
2. Please place a bid only if you are committed to buying the pet if you win it.
3. Pets come "as is" as we have no idea what rules may have been placed on them. We will help mediate any issues between the new owner and any previous owners.
4. We would prefer accepting payment on our Amazon Payments account to prevent the delinquent account (it's in the negative) from being sent to collections and/or legal action taken against us for not having the disputed funds. If it cannot be paid through this, we will accept PayPal.
5. All auctions end in approximately seven days. End dates are listed on the auctions themselves.
6. When the auctions are over, your total bill (all your auctions won) will be invoiced to you. Upon successful payment, all pets won will be placed into your lair.
Some highlights below:
It is not a usual thing for Aywas to take repossession of pets on a banned account. This situation is unique, grave, and we hope will not have to be repeated in the future. Ultimately, we appreciate any support, because this is one of the worst situations we have found ourselves in.
As a final note, any comments making threats toward the individual who filed the chargeback will be removed without notice. This happened on tumblr before and it will not be permitted here. Believe me, I am just as angry as you are, but threats will only make things worse, and they cannot be tolerated.

I didn't even know that could happen. Looks like you're a victim of "friendly fraud."

:( I hope you guys get back some of that money. Any chance players can donate their customs to the site for another usd auction?

Erithan (#49253) The downside is that customs are often made of people's OCs/fursonas/pets/etc or are just turned into characters themselves. It would get extremely messy if banned users are still using those characters while someone else gets the custom and starts using it too.
Its best to just let them rot/delete them/etc except in very extreme cases like this. I'd be very disappointed in Aywas if this became the usual practice for banned accounts. - Azi

Okay, went in 500$ total, hopefully it helps. (and if I get outbid on a bunch I can focus on only the ones I slavered over)

I have to say this is a horrible situation.
Slash, who is someone that generously gives back to the user base and the community as witnessed repeatedly by all of us has been taken for a huge ride.
There is absolutely no excusing such atrocious behavior from a user that was so obviously trying to rip the site off, or from an idiotic financial institution that doesn't even realize its trying to charge back twice on the same transactions.
Just thinking about it does my head in.
I'm so sorry that this is happening to you Slash and by default to all the users of Aywas as well, its not deserved in anyway.

I see several babies I made up there. I hope they go to good homes and can make the site some money again!
