I have enabled the Shinies system... we will see.

General
[ General information ] ♞ [ Commission info ] ♞ [ Open slots and commission status ] ♞ [ About me ] So, in case you haven't read the site announcement, do so first.
In short, FA added a feature that lets people tip artists using PayPal checkout. Generally, I don't trust FA much, especially wouldn't with money, but the only information I had to supply was my PayPal address, and when you click the button it takes you to PayPal's own checkout. It's kinda like Ko-Fi.
So it seems safe to me but use it at your own responsibility. For now I enabled it to see what happens... I'll know more once someone actually used it, and/or once I used it to tip someone else.
Meanwhile, if you would like to support me but you don't trust the shinies, you can always join me at Patreon! :)

I wanted to compliment you on your posts being a "voice of reason" in the freak-out fest connected to the journal entry about the new tip jar function. Funny how so many artists complain they're broke, beg for money, then have a fit when they're presented with a voluntary tip jar that's exactly like other tip jars they already use.

OP
Haha, thank you. I understand people's mistrust with FA, I have my concerns with the site in general as well, but I always try to look at everything objectively, regardless of past experience and prejudice. If the FA site was involved in handling the payment I wouldn't touch it, but it's handled by PayPal, so all is well. :)
