"I did pay you! Where is my art" And never did pay, but could cause a scene against a particular person to ruin their reputation and there will be no proof to either the artist receiving the money or the person paying it, or the public eye being a pseudo-observer of the agreement
These sneaky transactions leave a loootttt of room for scamming.
The issue I have with this statement is you could've done this even before art sales were forbidden. What proof would someone have of the payment being made in this case that's different? The only thing I can think of is the art threads marking that the person has paid, but they could still take the gil and say they weren't.
The issue now becomes that if someone does that, BOTH could are liable to get in trouble. The person who scammed, and the person who broke the rules by making/paying for art with gil.
