(”usbank popmoney” refers to how the money from the square app gets deposited to my usbank account and i transferred it to the zine bank account)

$25.02 was made via gumroad sales! a payout of approx $12 should have been paid out already, but it’s not in the account so i’m assuming it’s still processing? i will update on this!

i had multiple problems with this service and had to reprint labels and request refunds multiple times so the prices displayed are skewed.

subtracting all of this mathematically doesn’t come out to $127 as the money summaries provided by sites do not account for the storenvy and paypal processing fees as well as multiple fees for moving money in between paypal and bank accounts (moving money from paypal to a bank account to use a card for manufacturers that require card payment and do not take paypal) and my aforementioned problems with endicia.
