ARTIST PLEASE READ- Regarding paypal conversion fee.
RETWEET PLS
so we've all been a little confused and I called paypal myself and asked and this is what they told me
-This is a brand new fee on top of the transaction fee we already pay. NO ONE neither personal nor business
I don’t think people realise how important commissions are to artists. It’s the reason we are able to eat and have a roof over our heads.
A silly lil doodle to a 70 hr painting you buy off an artist is literally helping them live, eat and be who they are.
Support artists
SMALL ARTISTS ITS YOUR TURN!
this is for small artists only!
Any artist under 500 followers
Convince people to follow you with one art piece only!
OK GO
Take it from me as someone who just came to a realisation.
If you’re an artist who does nothing but work at home day in and day out, doesn’t go out, take walks or has tiny breaks and you have anxiety, feel dizzy and feel disconnected from reality. Your legs and feet swell up
I CANNOT stress how important making connections and supporting artists is in terms of getting commissions and work is.
Some artists see others as competition and keep to themselves their talent as much as they can and it’s sad
Friendly positive work connections and support
I counted up all the fees we will be paying for:
processing fee- 3.49%
transaction fee- 0.49%
conversion fee- 4.5%
so you will lose 8.48% in fees from commission funds
There is no running from this fee. This is for everyone. Only the option to stop converting automatically is changed but you are still charged a conversion fee, auto or manual. THATS IT
There are google widget reminders that you can download to use to remind you to take breaks
Research new places in your area and have a you date. Go see a museum for a few hours. Draw at a coffee shop. Play Pokémon go.
Just please go outside and get some walks and exercise
it only applies if your currency youre recieving isnt your own country currency,
so if your bank currency is USD and youre getting someone paying in GBP then conversion fee
USD TO USD no fee
