questions about doing commisions (help plzzz :C)

I kinda want to do some commsions, dunno if anyone would buy them. I also have no idea what to sell. I mean OC art obviously. And then the pricing would be really hard.
I would like to do something for $20 per picture or something.

So like.. if people do digital commissions do they just send it to the buyer and then they get paid or do they have to mail it to them or something?

And then also do you need a credit card/bank account for paypal or can people just send money to your paypal account?

1. Put prices on what you feel is reasonable to you.

2. Depends on what you prefer. I go by the "half now half later" way. Either they pay in beforehand or afterwards when they get their commission. It's up to them to tell you if they want you to send it to their mail or whatever. But if they want a print of it, it'd be reasonable that they pay for the print separately.

3. I think you can have money on paypal without having your card added. But I'd suggest you having your card on there so you can get the money in your hand.

Ohmygod thank you. :heart:

1)alright sweeet. (=
2) I think I'll do that. I'm not sure how paypal works though, they send you money from their account to yours and you accept it somehow? AND then it's just IN your account?

3) I just want to buy things online anyway. I don't own a card or a bank account so unless I make one, I can't anyway, unless I use my mom's card.... No.

2) Yeah. You can check your overview in the options. I sent eddsworld $0.1 once B) Although, I've never got any donations or ever got to make any commissions so I'm not really too familiar with this stuff. I just know how works somewhat. I'd advice you to listen to others aswell and not just take my word for it.

3) Don't you have a own bank card? Where do you put all your savings?

1- Pretty much what Loath said. I generally talk to the commissioner about price. Because some is better than nothing for me. ffff |D;

2- I usually see them send a hi res version to them. Other than that, I dunno. D:

3- Ask paypal? xD

From me personally? It is kinda hard, as I've only been commissioned by some of my friends. Only one online has commissioned me. But damn do I appreciate any business I can get. I think most of it depends on your ' popularity'. I've seen more unpopular people see elaborate things fir just 10 bucks. More popular people can get like 70$ out of the same type of work.
You know snapesnogger sold icons on FA for like 20$, while most people sell for 5-10$. And the thing is people actually bought them.

As far as the hi res stuff goes I think you're gonna have to ask Facerot, she seems to know about that stuff with her latest things. D:

Dude, like vaporotem sells chibis for like 50 bucks I think.

Only one online person? Awww maaan.
I only plan to do online ones unless someone irl really wants one, I don't think i'll find anyone irl though. I mean, I'll go on FA and draw furries and naruto fanart if I have to. rofl

Haha yes I asked /HIM/ about some stuff as well. I kind of post things in the size I had already drawn them so...
