So i've actually had a few people send me money without doing this, and i really don't want my only source of income getting screwed, SO!

"OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.
Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.
Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:
No address needed
Your Current Address
+ Add a new shipping address
Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.
Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?
Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is."
Even then you should be using Invoices anyway, they don't cost extra and it's super easy to use. If you are shipping things you can show what costs what (the commission, product, shipping cost, etc). If you aren't shipping anything then that's it, it won't even ask what you're selling and if you need to ship it.
I try to use invoices as often as possible too, i just feel an annoying need to pretty them up, though xD hard to shake it. idk, it never hurts to be careful, especially if you're relying on the income to pay bills and stuff. @-@
And is there a way with this new lay out you can send money requests that do no require the customer's shipping address, btw? I may just be completely oblivious but so far the only solution I've found was the "no shipping required" in the note of the request just as proof.
that's a really good question though 8|
i noticed with invoices it automatically sets it up so you have to ship things and i really don't want it.... i'll let you know if i find anything on that @-@
That's really what it boils down to, not so much the 'change' that was made, as the 'please select no shipping so paypal doesn't think i'm jipping you'
xD also contrary to popular belief, titties don't do what they do in anime so :B calm dem tits, not these ones.
