About Commissions (Current and Future)
10 years ago
Heya folks!
Sorry about yet another journal on this. I didn't think I'd be posting anymore, but this is definitely a bit of an urgent situation.
Waaay earlier this morning, I got an email from PayPal saying that my account is now limited of all it's features (including being able to send, receive, and even withdraw whatever I have in balance), as I'm not 18 yet.
I'm going to be contacting them a little later to try and see if I can still get what I currently have in balance transferred to my bank account still (which will hopefully be the case at the end of all of this).
But no matter what happens, I not have to look at an alternative means of accepting payment.
So far I've been recommended to check out Square Cash and Google Wallets as good alternatives. I think I'm leaning more towards Square, but I may still make a GW as an extra option for receiving payments from folks.
Just wanting to keep you guys updated about this. While I try to settle this out, responses for trying to get replies out to people may be delayed by a day or two.
If you cannot give payments through any means other than PayPal (or through any of the other two options I listed above), please let me know here and I will take your name off queue.
And I have my queue of commissioners listed here for those curious.
(I didn't want to make this spreadsheet before, as I do not at all intend to keep this updated, but those with a colored background in their names are folks I have already completed commissions for/am in the process of negotiating with. (Though, I technically have pre-planned rough sketches done up to slot 81, and them some, on my queue.)
But yeah! That's all I have to say here! I'll update this journal at a later time to let folks know what I ultimately decided to go with! (And of course, I'll also inform folks on Twitter!)
Thank you guys for your time!
EDIT (7:00 PM EST)
Alright! It's fairly possible that PayPal may still be my method for receiving payments! Momlando offered to make one later tonight and I shall have a Student account attached to hers. I still need to keep an eye on my current one that has all of my funds in it, but PayPal may still continue to be an option.
I do still plan to to keep those alternatives in mind to use as backups, though!
I guess I'll be looking in to Square Cash as I'm still wanting to get art from you at some point. ;u;
Best of luck!
