Two days ago I got in a tricky situation. I received an email from PayPal where they said they had withdrawn money from my account, but the reasons weren't explained there. I then accessed my account just to see I had -1900$ there.
I contacted them via phone call and they explained me the problem. See, I had transferred 1900$ to my bank account in November. Two days later I received a message from PayPal saying they couldn't transfer the money for some reason, and that the money was sent back to my account. I checked my account and the money was indeed there, so I made the transference a second time.
The problem is, the transference had been successfully made the first time, and when I transferred money again, it was made twice. I received double the money in my bank account (I also confirmed this). Of course, PayPal charged me back for their mistake, and I ended up with -1900$ in my PayPal account.
I didn't lose any money, but it's an annoying situation, and I have to make that negative value positive again.
I can't transfer money back from my bank account to my PayPal account because that service is still unavailable in my country and I can't pay with my credit card because my limit is not enough (because I don't use my credit card for anything - I only use debit card - I never bothered to increase my limit).
I explained my situation to PayPal and they fowarded my problem to the administration. They will be contacting me probably Monday or Tuesday next week.
I will probably need to make that value positive again through direct PayPal transfer, and that means commissions.
TL;DR:
I will be opening for very few (no more than 5) Simple Scenes and Detailed Scenes next month, and maybe some sketches depending on the demand.
I created a simple Weebly page to host my commission information, so you can check it here: http://whitemantis.weebly.com/ (I will be adding more commission options with time, but for now, it has only those).
For fully rendered scenes, they are not first come first served, I will pick some that catch my interest the most, so you don't need to rush anything. :)
ADD EDIT: Just want to mention, that I greatly favor clean images over porn images for fully rendered images, in case you want to get ready already. :3
Thank you again for the support, and thank you even more if you managed to read this journal entirely.

It makes me feel like such an ass, but I've always wanted a commission from you. XP
Sorry about that.
I was going to open for scene commissions nevertheless, because I've been missing doing them!
But yeah, situation sucks, but it could suck more. Imagine if they had charged me back and the money weren't in my bank account! XD At least I didn't lose money!
Feels... isso é o que mais me deixa nervoso com Paypal no Brasil (viva Dilma?). Boa sorte nae :D
Obrigada. ^^"
yay impostosAnyway, I'd be very interested in working with you once slots open up proper.
I always thought Artists did art because they "Want" to.
But that is a very unfortunate situation.
I hope it works out for ya, Mantis.
I might even be able to pick up a commission, we'll see.
This is exactly how I feel about drawing.
Someone hacked into my paypal account last year and stole 600$. Paypal had everything fixed and the money restored in 2 days. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly!
I received email on the morning of the 24th.
I hope it all gets sorted soon.
Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with!
Oooooooooooooo! I hope to catch a commission, slim chance but will keep an eye out.
And why the slots are so limited too!
Including letting you design some if the mood would strike.
So the question is also on my mind when you will open up a commission form for us to apply to, or would it be preferable if we email you regarding our enquiries.
Você vai conseguir cobrir isso em no time :D
(And, allow me to say this: whoever gets to commission you is really fortunate, milady. I sincerly hope you are going to enjoy this round of art-making!)
( i realise you all are on different sides of our planet )
so here it is:
I wish you a joyful, fortunate, blissfull, and simply Happy New Year 2015
For those who make art, many many lucrative commissions and keep up the good work
For those who collect, hope you will get all of the commisions and show it to the rest
For those who write, may you never get a writing block or lose that lovely spark that keeps you going
For those who simply like furry art in general, hope you will enjoy it all, even if others may not understand it
( i know hoe people can be when encoutered with a "odd" hobby or interests :( )
For everyone, hope you will always have the means, motivation and reason to go on forward, because as it is said "those who do not go forward
eventually go backwards, because the world will carry on with or without you"
