Percussive maintenance and duct tape solves everything

serious pls

You login to your PayPal, on the top there are five buttons, "Summary, Activity, Send & Request, Wallet, Benefits & Offers".

Go to Send & Request, scroll down a tad to see the "Get your PayPal.Me link" and then you'll create your very own instant link that you can leave on your journal or your FA userpage and it will allow others to click that link to instantly be brought to the URL page where they can send you money.

You can also go to Send & Request to pay for commissions at the "Pay for Goods or Services" where you'll be asked to enter an e-mail address, then an amount, and whether or not the person you're sending this amount to will see your shipping address. Generally it's only used for tax filing or buying physical products. If you're just buying art and the commission artist says they don't need your address, then click the address button and set it to be blank.

To request money from others, "Request from friends & customers" to send them an e-mail that says "so and so would like to request X amount of money from you". Alternatively you can create a customized invoice request for that money, but while it's more official, it's also more complicated to figure out.

Finally, do not include in the Notes for ANY TRANSACTION AT ALL anything that has to do with furries or furaffinity or fetish art or art in general. General rule of thumb, leave it blank or put just a username or something simple. PayPal has been known in the past to freeze accounts that they discover are being used to buy or sell furry related things, such as porn.

Good luck with figuring out the rest, and I look forward to commissioning you myself. <x3

ah thanks this'll help xwx

good for you!

its mostly an account for me to get cash from my art to commission other folk. So many artists out there who have styles that make me want to see my own characters in them. Waiting on raffles for freebies is fun but they aren't always guaranteed a win XD might even be able to commission you when you get them open some day :D
For now just trying to figure out pricing and ych ideas. I am both terrified and excited. I think I have something in mind for my first auction though.

OH and restarting with pics of the werekodiak (lost all my progress due to a virus :( ) so I may use him and other characters in my repertoire as examples in pricing/art comparison.

my commissions have been open for years bro. lol

and sorry to hear that. that sucks. try to invest in some of the best antivirus out there like nod3s kaspersky or bitdefender.

alright wish you luck then!
