I'm a Paypal noob, and the only payments I have done were for family and friends, so I didn't suspect anything with using the friends and family way of paying for the one adopt I bought with real money. Thanks for letting me know. This is a really important thing to share
EDIT: Unsure where to put this, a follower of mine told me "General" would be good enough. lol
Hey everyone. Recently, I was in a situation concerning PayPal fees that left me salty.
So, being salty, I posted a PSA on my Toyhou.se bulletins.
Then, being even saltier, I updated and moved my PayPal Tutorial (used to be on dA) which I am here to share with you today!
Before I get started, I would like to just address PayPal Fees.
It goes against PayPal's User Agreement to charge |
International Transactions Please be aware that as of late 2016, PayPal has installed auto-currency exchange.Please refer to my guide on Weebly on how to deal with it. Please check in with people you are buying from outside the country if they want their money in USd or their home-currency. ALSO, fees are higher than normal fees when sending abroad. |
Transaction Fees |
DO'S | DONT'S |
|
|
| Note: If you were someone that added an extra dollar or more when sending money, that can be considered a "tip." You put extra money onto the transaction out of your own volition. No one asked you to do so. If the seller did ask you to cover the fees, then they are violating PayPal's User Agreement which you, under no circumstance, should be covering the fees. |

PLEASE IGNORE THE FACT IT'S ON MY SPECIES WEEBLY.
IT'S EASIER TO MANAGE THAN MAKING A SEPARATE WEEBLY. LOL

In case you haven't heard, the IRS now wants to know if you've made more than $600 through online sales:

Paypal has paused its services in Russia, so russian artists or anyone who lives there in general are unable to be paid through paypal. Not sure what happens if someone needs to file a chargeback on a Russian artists however.

As someone who is new to the world of adopts and commissions via PayPal this was super helpful to read! Thank you so much for making this!
Finally someone says it, anyone who tries to charge me for this and insists after I inform them it's illegal gets whatever I'm buying cancelled automatically.
Man I keep trying to explain this stuff to people and they don't understand. Glad I found this bulletin and will def share it with anyone who tries that stuff on me again. I use my paypal for my art business too so I really cannot afford to have anything happen to my account because a seller wants to avoid paypal fees...
Oh my goodness I had no idea the cover fees thing was a problematic. o-o I was thinking of doing this but since it is against Paypal rules and it's bad way of doing business, I will avoid it then. Thank you for sharing this and I am glad I saw this.
