THIS NEEDS A HELLA SIGNAL BOOST – PLEASE SPREAD THIS UP
EVERYONE needs to start using Invoices. This is very important.
Paypal has recently updated their TOS and it’s something that everyone should pay attention to.
“10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.”
DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS AS “GIFTS” You will be risking your commissioners account and that is really really bad.
Artists, REQUEST PAYMENT THROUGH INVOICES. It lets YOU control how money is sent.
Commissioners, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT unless you send it through “for goods and services.” If your artist requests ‘send as gifts’ BEFORE you send payment, tell them about the $2,500 fine per violation, as they probably do not know about it.
Yes, paypal fees suck, but it’s better to have a few dollars missing than to get fined $2,500 for a $20 purchase.
This is really important! And yeah the fees suck, but it’s actually ILLEGAL to select “gifts” if you are actually paying for a service because of tax, like wise it is always illegal to accept payment that way.
Please if you are a freelance artist taking commissions ALWAYS SEND AN INVOICE! It can cover your ass in more ways than one, and you know actually makes it easier to keep track of things anyway.
After crying my eyes out for the past hour, after realizing the situation I’m being put into, I’m literally forcing myself to write this. I’m struggling to ask for something I always thought I could avoid, and that’s needing help.
I’ve been living with my aunt and uncle for a couple years now, and I’m very grateful that they took me in after I graduated highschool, hell I’m also grateful to my othe uncle who let me sleep in his living room so I wouldn’t have to move to a different town with my mother. But my point is, my mother and her irresponsibility. She and my father are divorced, so my father has sent her child support for me and my sister. When I decided to continue school through college I needed the extended child support so I could afford going. Things recently have turn for the worse because my mother is having sticky fingers and not sending most of my money. My aunt and I for months now have been going to courts and lawyers to find a way to get the money sent differently, for now there’s nothing we can do unless my aunt signs off as my official guardian.
What my mother is doing to me is creating so much fucking stress for me by not sending me my child support. At this point I don’t have enough to go to school this year, or to even pay for my car that I need to get to work with. And Whatever is in my account gets sucked into my previous school loans. I’m currently training at my new job, and I won’t get more hours to earn me more money until that time is up, another month or so.
So I’m opening emergency commissions. I want to at least earn up to half of the tuition for just one semester at my college before getting the rest on a loan, that being $2,000′s Because i only work little hours I’ll be able to completely focus and dedicate my time on these commissions. Here is my chart.
