How do i charge comissions through paypal?

[carmine pollen]

Hi! i want to open comissions but im kinda confused about how paypal works. If i want to charge a comission what do people normally use? the send or request option? also is it true that if its a personal account it can show the registrated adress in the transaction?

i dont know if this makes any difference but im not looking to link my bank account to paypal (cause in my country they add soooo many extra payments)

1. a lot of clients would want goods and service (g&s) but paypal does take a cut for tax (and now the income is taxable). theres als othe friends and family (ff) open but clients are less likely to use it becaue theres no seller/buyer protection like g&s.
2. if you want to charge someone you would request.
3. no. if its through g&s the address of the buyer would show up for you. just be a decent human and dont dox lol

This "goods and service" its like an option while making the payment or how does it work?
Also i just saw this other option that its more of a donation, is it recommended to use it? or it is similar to the "friends and family" that doesn't have a protection for buyer/seller?

Hope my questions dont bother to much, sorry 😅😅

Both are options you can choose when sending a payment.

Ive never heard of a donation option? Do you have a screenshot?

I don't have :(, i saw it in a tutorial where you create and account on paypal.me and then send a link of that account and people can donate. Im not sure if its a 100% donation option, the guy in the vid said it was o it can be used as a payment method as well

Idk for donations i usually would go for ko-fi

But thats up to you if u wanna use whichever option. Just make sure if its taxable income or not
