This takes effort, so don't expect it to catch on too well amongst furries.

I won't lie, its so much harder sending an invoice than giving someone my PayPal address
But holy crap, at least with invoices nobody can send weird notes with their payments saying "HOT DOG DICK ART" :V

OK... I gotta ask... Has it actually happened to you?

Getting my PayPal frozen? Nope
I just hear from artist buddies that FA is blacklisted there
So if PayPal finds out they could just freeze your account
Along with whatever money you had sitting in there :U I guess

In general, if you have a lot of money stored with Paypal they'll find an excuse to steal it.

They do it with charity donations all the time. "Freezing" the assets until they get bad press over it, then releasing all but a chunk of it (Say 500k was raised, paypal might keep 5k)

It's racketeering plain and simple, and they get away with it because they're not a federally regulated bank and are not backed or insured by the FDIC.

Short story: Don't treat paypal like a bank. Use it to transfer money, but don't keep a balance if you care about losing it.

Quite simply, it's a lot more secure of a system. A bit more effort for a bit more security and much more organization.

+1 for cat

Now we know.


And Knowing Is Half The Battle™.

This is fantastic!

died from the puns

All of those puns were PAWFUL

Paw'ful?
You CAT be serious ; 3 ;

this was a very indulginng exPURRience

I couldn't have said better MEWself
(Mine is the worst omg)

These puns are absolutely CLAWful.

_{you think yours was bad?}

All well and good till paypal finds out you are selling porn then you can kiss your account and any money still in it goodbye

That's why this is kinda good though!
Because I control how much info is in the invoice
I can control over what info is displaying and not giving the buyer the chance to say "MONEY FOR THAT BUTT PORN"
If I lose my PayPal account over that, it really is my fault :V

Even as a buyer, this is spiffy info to know. Because now I know artists have a solid way of communicating with me.

The puns in this are PAW'thetic

All of the bad paw puns!

Nifty :3

Nice! Professional Artist and Bunny here.

How do you make it so it doesn't show a "print shipping label"?

I think that happens when someone sends you money as "GOODS" rather than "SERVICES"
Because PayPal goes, "Goods, eh? Guess the seller will need the client's shipping address for a shipping label!"

...I don't know though . _ . Wah-!!

It's weird because I'm still getting it even though I've started doing invoices, and I'm scurred paypal is going to take my money!
Btw, thanks for meowking this.

May I repost this? :3

YES . _ . <3!
If you wouldn't mind getting credit back to me~

Posted(with credit)! :D

I just use the request money function. :/
Works similarly but less complicated.

:D ...





:'D ...y-yeah. That works too

So many puns! But this is so pawsomely well done! OH NO! The puns are rubbing off meow!

(rimshot)

You have an underwear folder in your email?

Its for my intimate shopping
Obviously

This is really helpful! (: I've actually put a lot of thought of doing invoices from now on.
I think I might do this right now, as someone owes me a commission payment and said their payday was May 2nd. ^^;

ITS that simple? Don't you mean IT IS that simple? Your lack of an apostrophe fuels my grammatical rage, so I'm going to whine and bitch about a very minor detail that no one actually cares about!

I don't think I'll ever remember when to use "its" or "it's"

"Its" is a word on its own, "it's" is a contraction of "it is", so if the sentence would still make sense if you replaced "its" with "it is" then use an apostrophe.
EXAMPLE: "its that simple," does "it is that simple" make sense? Yes! Add an apostrophe!
"the dog likes it's chewtoy" does "the dog likes it is chewtoy" make sense? No! Remove apostrophe!

Oh god, the puns xD

lmsao that is win ^^

Bae Does Katia Managan.

Dem puns. :v

Hah, thanks - that was a very entertaining walkthrough. :P

Wow. Adorably a-mew-zingk.

Mew have to be kittying me with those puns.

Also, I hope every artist ever sees this. This should go on Reddit and everywhere.

this'll be useful in the future

I was always considering sending invoices to people who want to pay with PayPal, but I wasn't sure if people even know about this as even that was new to me a few weeks ago. >_>" Also the cat was awesome 8D

Thank you for taking time to do this for the rest of us.

You spelled "mysterious" wrong


Good looking information we can all use. And hey, cat puns!
