💵 If you chose PayPal, please use the “Friends & Family” option when the time for payment comes! If you already know Why that is important, feel free to skip this section. 💵
If you don't know the difference between "Goods and Services" vs "Friends and Family", Here’s why it matters for both of us:
- Extra fees. If you select Goods & Services, it adds ~2.9%+ $0.30 in processing fees. I don’t want to charge you more just because of a PayPal setting.
- Avoid holds & freezes. PayPal can hold or freeze funds for weeks, or even months, if they think I'm selling “goods.” That delays your art or my ability to refund you, if needed, because I cannot continue working on a commission if payment is not safely in my bank.
- No tracking required. Digital art can’t be shipped, but PayPal will still ask for shipping info, like your address and mine, under Goods & Services. I’ve had to submit screenshots of customers discord chats just to prove it’s a digital file, in the past.
- Account safety. Repeated Goods & Services payments force personal accounts into “Business” accounts, and NSFW sales violate PayPal’s rules, risking suspension of my account. This has already happened to me before.
If you accidentally pick "Goods & Services", no worries, just let me know so I can refund you and you can try again with "Friends & Family". Thank you for helping keep our process smooth!
