Switching to EasyStart + life stuff
a year ago
Hey everyone! Hope you've been doing well.
Both Hipolink and Boosty have BETRAYED me and many other russian artists so I'm not gonna use those anymore (unless PayPal returns to Hipolink, but I highly doubt it and I'm also really tired of their constant "technical issues" as they call it).
I have tried out yet another relatively new payment system called EasyStart. Not only has it proven to be working just fine, but it's also a more official and secure way of receiving payments for commissions using both cards and PayPal. It may seem tricky to figure out at first, but they have provided easy to follow guides on their official website.
Pay via PayPal: https://start.easystaff.io/pay_via_paypal
Pay via cards (Stripe): https://start.easystaff.io/private_person_stripe
If you'd like to commission me in the future, this is what I'll be using from now on.
If you decide to commission me, but have read the guide and still have questions, worry not as I'll be happy to provide any help I can in DMs.
Other than that I'm fine, I'm doing well, me and my girlfriend are currently in Russia but we're leaving to Montenegro again on 24th. We're going to leave Montenegro in 2025 and either return to Russia, or think about our next immigration step.
I got access to my ADHD meds at last and it's doing miracles to me. I'm working on my queue, as well as on two clean up animation gigs. Life is hard but the future seems bright again. If you're going through difficult times too, please hang in there, you're stronger than you think and you'll get there eventually. Sending you all the love.

Hipolink has done the same in September but instead of saying that PayPal has officially left their platform, they keep giving vague answers in tech support and they're calling it "temporary technical issues"
I'd be fine with that if they'd just called it what it is, "PayPal has officially left Hipolink" so at least I'd know I don't have to spend energy on waiting and hoping for its' return x))
I and my clients have used this before and there was only a problem once when a client entered a nickname instead of a name. All the money went into the account the very next morning.
No one is stealing your money. Easy Start responds to authors instantly, explains all the nuances and is much more reliable than Boosty, who could pretend that the payment was not received, and then look for this money for two weeks in the unknown (personal experience, hello).
