I wonder if any of you recognize this guy. If not this is Seasnake!Matthew from my ask blog. I had plans on updating it this summer, but when my previous laptop died my tablet unfortunately isn’t compatible with the new laptop.

hey! want to help abused trans kids? my boyfriend @dullhorror and i are going to be moving across the country to escape my abusive family. we cannot get jobs due to lack of said jobs and no car. but my wonderful friend is going to be using her own money to try and help us out. unfortunately, this will be from their first personal paycheck which….won’t be a lot or enough.

to get three people from the upper midwest to the east coast will be just around $800 or so dollars. we have basically most of it with nothing left over for food or basic items needed for self care. (we aren’t asking for $800 dollars! i’m trying to at least get $200) we’d be struggling until we’d get jobs which we are already applying for! and we pretty much have a job once we move out of here and to my friend’s house!

as of oct 24th my boyfriend lost his foodstamps because he doesnt have kids and we HAVE run out fast as my abusive family barely buys any and took all his foodstamps. we are having to clean the entire house which wouldnt be an issue if they didn’t extremely nit pick everything! we cannot make them happy enough to let us stay here any longer.

we will be attempting to leave around the 18th of November! we can be kicked out any time my abuser finds out as she is STILL threatening to kick us out. every day we have to fight with depression and the fear of my abusive family and hide whenever my aunt decides to have an episode. she has struck fear into the both of us and it isn’t healthy to be here anymore.

we could really use your help one last time! so please….please consider donating to us or reblogging this post! we appreciate every single dollar and note we get

And they are getting even more strict when it comes to not using invoices for charging for Digital Goods.

Whatever Invoices make you uncomfortable or not, you gotta start using them if you want to keep your PayPal and your money. Changes starting this October 19th.

Honestly I don’t get why so many artists are so overwhelmed by invoices, takes just a few clicks to set up. 

And is not only “oh you have to use invoices because PayPal says so” if you don’t use invoices you’re putting yourself at risk of being scammed by an user abusing the buyer’s protection. 

Since PayPal ain’t got no idea of what those $50 you received were for, but the buyer is saying they didn’t got anything for the money, PayPal will just side with the buyer.

I’m seriously begging ppl, start using invoices. I’m tired of seeing ppl complain their paypal was banned, or is under investigation, or worse, the $100 they got for a very complicated commission, 3 months later get a refund issue. 

just

start

using

invoices

for your own sake. 

Here is how you use invoices because I can’t keep playing devil’d advocate, yes I would love to help you get your PayPal restored but just this last month I had to help three persons, and they were MORE than aware of this issues. 

Just protect yourself. 

Step 1. You login and click here

Step 2. You click create new Invoice. YOU NEVER CLICK REQUEST MONEY, unless you want to risk yourself to get scamer by buyer’s protection exploit and not only lose your money but your paypal account, and any future paypal linked to your irl name. 

Step 3 You follow this steps

1. Invoice for amount only

2. Ask your client for their PayPal email and put in that field

3. Add a vague description of what you’re doing, something like “Character Coloured with Background” is good enough, and if you need more than 1 character you can type in “2″ where it says amount, or just say “2 characters”.

Warning: don’t type in “Naruto rawing Sasuke”. That will get you banned. 

4. Click send. 

Optional steps. Create a template, doesn’t take more than 10 minutes and it will save you a lot of time for future invoices, you can even click on “items” right next to “create invoice” and add a list of services you offer such as “character sketch” “character flats” along with a price, so next time you invoice you just add to the invoice from your list of items and you saved yourself some more time. 

More importantly, you protect yourself from buyer’s protection exploit because if PayPal knows you’re doing digital goods, then you will be allowed that you did in fact created a digital good. 

Keep PayPal happy, as for right now there are no alternatives to this service, and this is the only source of income for many freelancers. 

And my personal favorite
