do you play on PC?? if so we should play games together -w-)b
Dont have a PC that capable of gaming. I havent played a video game in a year.
Been wanting to talk about this for a while, cuz I feel like either nobody has any realization of it…or nobody really cares but, lets talk about Artist Beware Pages.
These Pages if you don’t already know, are pages were people go to pretty much report artists who don’t work on commissions, run off with the money, or treat people like shit. Kinda like the Art Equivalent of the FTC. However when you have no real structure or oversight, it quickly turns into the Artist Gestapo. A group of Vigilantes who witch hunt any artists no matter how big, for little to no reason or context.
You say no to someone who asked to make Gay porn, and they will fucking hang your ass for saying no to them. They’ll go on this Pages and make shit up about you, just to get attention and support from completely blind idiots. I’ve had to deal with these pages before in the past and it wasnt pretty. These are hormonally raging 14, 15, and 16 year old kids, just looking to fuck something up….(HEAVY BREATHING FUN SEEKERS.)
One Artist who forgot about a piece that was commissioned just a month earlier had to refund the piece. He admitted to his mistake and apologized for it. However a lot of people on the Draw Horses page wanted to mark this man for dead and ruin his career as an artist. These Blind Artist Witch-hunts are way more common then you might expect, and sometimes they can really effect people lives and livelihood.
Its important to know which artist to trust and which ones to stay away from, but these pages just do more bad then good in the long run. I was put on one of these for not accepting requests and “not talking nicely” to someone, its like some ludicrous shit really. Im not gonna say these pages are Cancer, cuz as it is, Cancer is more curable then then damn pages.
Heads up PayPal is changing ToS again
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
