idk if this helps but this is how i do it! just do everything thats marked in red ignore everything else

aw this does help a lot, thank you!! im very new to this
ill check it out and try to set one up as a test

no problem!! i know it looks really intimidating at first but once u get in the groove of it and get used to making invoices it'll be easier!
you can save templates as well for different types of commissions to where you just type in the customers email and youre good to go!

I have mine set up as Donitkitt showed and also in my terms and conditions section I pasted my TOS and wrote that it is a digital good and no shipping is required.

oh thats a very good idea! do you mind linking me your tos to use as reference? i do have my own already but one can always do better haha
glad to know there seems to be a very common or default way to go about it

For sure!

they're luckily fairly simple, the bits of advice i would give are to set your type as 'service' not goods(since you don't need their address or any shipping nonsense for digital art), and always make a contact in your address book for people so you can match up their usernames with their emails. (and if you ever do nsfw, don't label any of it as such in the invoice, cuz paypal are prudes) it's also a good idea to set up a 'template', just with your "note to recipient" (like a thankyou, plz consider tipping) and "terms and conditions" (just something brief like how long they should expect to wait and your refund policy) so you don't have to re-type that stuff every time.

if you have any specific questions, feel free to note me! i use paypal invoices all the time.

aw thank you Godith! im very new to using banks or anything an Independent Adult would use
so im very afraid of messing up, i appreciate the help! ill check it out and keep that in mind :>

dude i totally understand. adult stuff is high-stakes AND everyone expects you to already know how it works...

i very very rarely transfer money between paypal and my bank; i usually just use them as separate money piles, my bank for needs and my paypal for wants. BUT i know most artists aren't casuals like me, so i will also recommend transferring your money over from paypal to your bank regularly, if you want to use paypal for selling and bank for buying, because it can take a while for the transfer to go through if you don't want to pay fees and i've heard of folks having trouble with paying bills on time cuz of that delay.

yeah.., i sadly have to pay fees regardless of time when transferring due to being from a foreign country but what can you do
i am hoping of eventually maybe making an small income from commissions so id have to transfer either way for when i want to buy stuff here and not online
hopefully for now i dont pay bills so i can focus on just saving and theres no hurry on my part

they do also have paypal cards! ...tho i've never really gotten mine to work and i dunno if it'd be possible outside off the states....
i wish you much luck!
