If you haven't heard of it already, I highly suggest you check out Artist's Beware before commissioning artists. This site is extremely helpful when wanting to check out if certain artists are trustworthy or not.
Basically people post about bad experiences they had with commissioning people (or being commissioned by people) in order to warn others who might fall for the same trap. 
If you ever paid someone for art and they didn't deliver, please gather up some evidence and create a post there. I'm very certain art trades count as well, even point commissions! 
I created one myself lately, if you'd like to check it out as an example: artists-beware.livejournal.com…
If you ever created a post there yourself, please feel free to show me! I've been screwed over multiple times by unreliable artists and I'm getting really fed up with handing out cash for free..

DO NOT GO OUT AND "WITCH HUNT" ANY PEOPLE ON ARTIST'S BEWARE
Please be mature and do not call people names or harass them in any way. 
I am only looking to avoid getting scammed by blacklisting commissionists
Also be aware that you might come across NSFW content

I can't say that I've ever had an issue with an artist, but I have had a few commission-ers that bailed on payment once receiving the unfinished/heavily watermarked version of their drawing. I thought that would be enough to discourage theft, but I was totally wrong 9__9
