This is also a main reason that I do not ask for payment or even let the commissioner know how to pay me until the product has been created. It just gives me peace of mind really. I have recently picked up Manic's form of payment for the more high dollar items though, where you pay half up front and then the other half when the work is done.
As far as this particular models behavior I find it gross, It's always best to let someone know straight up that you are uncomfortable with their commission idea, if that was the case. You definitely don't fake your own death especially if you still want to keep this as a viable option in the future. Sorry that's happened to you and I hope that it hasn't soured you for commissioning others in the future.

Yeah its really killed my will to pay for customs anymore. I don't want this to happen with a $200 clip.
I think the pay half upfront model is really the safest way of doing it.
Also I checked her twitter and now Lucy is saying her email was hacked. Unless she got hacked after I paid her, I call bullshit. The email I sent the gift card to was very obviously named like a porn model's email and wouldn't make any sense for a hacker to have. It was separate from the one I was talking to her with.
