Commissions: New Payment Option
16 years ago
Oh, hey! Are you looking into commissioning me? Well, that's awesome! If you are from North America, I've got a brand new payment option for you! Read on:
Up until now, Western Union was the only way you could pay me for my art services. But now, I'm enabling a new (and cheaper!) form of payment, only for US, Canada and Mexico residents! What I'm talking about is Wii Points.
Unless you are a gamer like me, this is what you need to know about Wii Points: They're also called "Nintendo Points", and it's the currency Nintendo uses for its video game systems through their online shops. You can get them in scratch-cards that can be purchased at video game stores. 1000 Nintendo Points equal US$ 10; 2000 Nintendo Points equal US$ 20, and so on.
Q: How do I pay you with Wii Points?
A: Well, if the commission is, say, US$ 30, you have to buy 3000 Points (the cards come in 1000, 2000 and 3000 points, if I'm not mistaken). Then you scratch the panel on the back of the card(s) to reveal the code(s), then you send such code(s) to me via private Note or e-mail. It's that easy!
Q: What about US$ 25 commissions?
A: Since Nintendo Point Cards only come in thousands, I'm going to round the pricing of those commissions in your favor and accept 2000 Points (US$ 20) as payment for them! Similarly, US$ 15 commissions will be 1000 points; US$ 35 commissions become 3000 points, and so on and so forth.
Q: How is this cheaper than using Western Union?
A: Well, in order to send money via Western Union, you have to pay them a little extra fee that goes to their pockets. With the Nintendo Points method, there's none of that!
Q: Why is this deal North America-only?
A: Because my Wii console is US/NTSC, and can only connect to the American shop channel. I can't do anything about it; sorry.
Q: Why don't you buy the points yourself?
A: I would if I could, believe me. But I can't, because I live in Argentina, and you can't directly buy Nintendo Points here. Not even online via credit card. I tried.
Well, I think that would cover it. I'm just going to add that, starting today, this is the favored method of paying, until I say otherwise. See you guys later! :)

I would love to commission you, but I don't have a Wii, and Wii Point cards are kinda hard to get around here. Can there be other methods?

OP
Actually, you don't need to have a Wii for this, at all. You just get the cards, scratch them, write down their codes and send them to me via email

That's the problem. Wii cards around here are impossible to find.
