And they are getting even more strict when it comes to not using invoices for charging for Digital Goods.

Whatever Invoices make you uncomfortable or not, you gotta start using them if you want to keep your PayPal and your money. Changes starting this October 19th.

Honestly I don’t get why so many artists are so overwhelmed by invoices, takes just a few clicks to set up. 

And is not only “oh you have to use invoices because PayPal says so” if you don’t use invoices you’re putting yourself at risk of being scammed by an user abusing the buyer’s protection. 

Since PayPal ain’t got no idea of what those $50 you received were for, but the buyer is saying they didn’t got anything for the money, PayPal will just side with the buyer.

I’m seriously begging ppl, start using invoices. I’m tired of seeing ppl complain their paypal was banned, or is under investigation, or worse, the $100 they got for a very complicated commission, 3 months later get a refund issue. 

just

start

using

invoices

for your own sake. 

Here is how you use invoices because I can’t keep playing devil’d advocate, yes I would love to help you get your PayPal restored but just this last month I had to help three persons, and they were MORE than aware of this issues. 

Just protect yourself. 

Step 1. You login and click here

Step 2. You click create new Invoice. YOU NEVER CLICK REQUEST MONEY, unless you want to risk yourself to get scamer by buyer’s protection exploit and not only lose your money but your paypal account, and any future paypal linked to your irl name. 

Step 3 You follow this steps

1. Invoice for amount only

2. Ask your client for their PayPal email and put in that field

3. Add a vague description of what you’re doing, something like “Character Coloured with Background” is good enough, and if you need more than 1 character you can type in “2″ where it says amount, or just say “2 characters”.

Warning: don’t type in “Naruto rawing Sasuke”. That will get you banned. 

4. Click send. 

Optional steps. Create a template, doesn’t take more than 10 minutes and it will save you a lot of time for future invoices, you can even click on “items” right next to “create invoice” and add a list of services you offer such as “character sketch” “character flats” along with a price, so next time you invoice you just add to the invoice from your list of items and you saved yourself some more time. 

More importantly, you protect yourself from buyer’s protection exploit because if PayPal knows you’re doing digital goods, then you will be allowed that you did in fact created a digital good. 

Keep PayPal happy, as for right now there are no alternatives to this service, and this is the only source of income for many freelancers. 

Stay safe. 

Heads up, all commissioning artists

I’ll be doing this from now on!

ADDING THIS BC I HATE PAYPALLLL

OK so when you send/make invoices…it doesnt let you choose ‘digital good’ or differentiate between “goods (as in physical)” and “services” (as in doesnt need address) which is what you could do with micropayments….

SO WHEN U SEND INVOICE the buyer will be asked for their shipping address.
 ( I even had the options turned off for shipping?? I was pretty sure there USED TO be an option that you turned off and then it wouldn’t ask for shipping, but that doesnt seem to work anymore? I went to where the setting was and still had the boxes unchecked, and yet my buyer was still getting asked to put in shipping address, and when invoice was paid, i was being asked to provide shipping label by X date or Consequences.)

SO APPARENTLY YOU HAVE TO DO THIS as the SELLER

SO go to the invoice (i think this can be done BEFORE the buyer pays?? Didnt try myself tho, i did it after it was paid), and click on VIEW DETAILS in that first box 

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click ADD TRACKING INFO 

(YES COUNTER-INTUITIVE AS BALLLLLS.)

of course HERE IS WHERE YOU'RE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS ON PROCESSING DIGITAL GOODS. HIDDEN BEHIND A BUTTON YOU WOULDNT PRESS IF YOU WERE, SAY, TRYING TO SELL DIGITAL GOODS.

Select Order Processed/Service Rendered

YAY this stuff fills itself out and you can save and not have to worry about shipping your Digital Intangible Product to a very confused seller.

I am so salt about this. excuse me while i go cry angrily.

Think I’ll reblog this for my own use…

Guess I gotta get used to sending invoices for all transactions soon then

NO EXCUSES GUYS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHER ARTISTS.

Hello lovelies. It’s been a rough couple of years, hasn’t it? Hell, it’s been a rough couple of centuries, but it feels like the US government has looked at minorities, at women, at disabled people, at the LGBTQ+ community, and gone, “Well, they’ve had their fun.” That they decided to teach us a lesson for demanding the recognition of our basic humanity.

I could write a long, long essay about power systems and how the last two years are the product of centuries, but you can read that from smarter and more qualified people. What I will say is this:

I don’t discuss this much, but I worked on two political campaigns. In full disclosure, I worked for the Democratic Party, at the state level, to help turn out the vote and encourage voters to support key races. Every time, working on the youth vote was viewed - at best - chasing a unicorn. The youth vote just didn’t show up.

And here’s how this cycle works:

1. The candidate focuses on issues important to their largest voting population (a.k.a. baby boomers)
   
2. Younger voters feel abandoned
3. Younger voters don’t bother to vote
4. See #1.

I know a lot of us are frustrated with the Democratic officials who keep wringing their hands and running to the middle and caving to the GOP. I promise it’s because that’s what baby boomer voters keep hiring them to do. But in about a month? We have the opportunity to take that hiring authority away. We have the opportunity to tell the Democrats they answer to us, not to your “I’m liberal but all lives matter” uncle.

Tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in many states. Please register if you haven’t already, and double-check your registration status if you have. (Voters are being aggressively purged from polls this year.)

After confirming Kavanaugh yesterday, Mitch McConnell said (arguably through the sad, decaying flesh-suit he wears as his human disguise) that all our anger would just “blow over soon.” 

I don’t feel like letting it blow over. Do you?

I live in North Vancouver BC and I need to flee my home. 
I just got a job and I thought things were going to improve but my dad’s abuse has intensified as a result. I won’t get in to details, but to keep it short, I need to go now.

I can’t pay rent yet and I know that’s a big deal breaker, but you don’t have to feed me, I can rely on the foodbank, and I can clean your house for you while I look for a new job in whatever area I end up in. 

I’m begging for shelter away from him. 
I’m 19, queer nonbinary, and very good with animals. I’m more than willing to help you with chores and I love to talk and play video games and go outside. I can cook or help you cook if you need it. 

Please DM me if you can get me out of here. Reblogs are appreciated.
