I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

INVOICES

This will help you soooo much. Please don’t shy away from contracts because you assume it will be too difficult or make you look overbearing. If they’re not willing to sign a page that says “ i promise to pay you, and stick by the rules we agreed to”  don’t trust that customer. (It’s for the customer’s benefit too, you promise to create art and spell out any revisions you allow and time span it will take)  PLUS you can ask for a fee up front that is part of the agreement that you get to keep if the customer falls through and cancels suddenly on you!
