I think its because you wrote 0/3 slots and they think youre closed or they cannot pay with what you want.

yeah change 0/3 slots to 3 slots left, makes it give more urgency

#

also you could try lowering the prices a little and see what happens, if that doesnt help then look for something else that could affect it

Apart from the slot thing which can confuse people. It's also the lack of PayPal

#

My first thought looking at your stuff was like yea I want 3 portraits

#

But then I saw no PayPal like yea no gift cards are a hassle

#

unfortunately simpler ways to pay you increase your odds of commissions

#

why no paypal btw ?

# runic ice quick tip dont say that ur a minor on discord publicly

Most servers have a role for minors and non minors, just by looking at my profile for this server you can see that I’m under 18. While I do agree with you, I’m also old enough to handle myself and I’m extremely cautious online. Although I do appreciate your concern<3

should convince parents guardians to open a kid account for you followed by a paypal account, you have a talent for art , could be making some side cash , regardless option 2 would to be sell local and in cash among friends and classmates but thats a more personal and involved process

Commissions are a business basically.

You need an audience to create demand for your product. Do you have social media? Do you have a large following? Is your following old enough to be able to pay you?
You also should change your prices based on demand. Lower it for lower demand, make it higher for higher demand.

#

I agree with having your parents set you up a venmo or PayPal account.

#

But if most of your following is minors, you have a pretty low chance of getting commissioned unfortunately.
