Ohhey, something in the Paypal TOS change that’s actually worth mentioning (cutting some stuff out to make it more to the point):

10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.

So if you’re one of those commission artists that gets clients to send payment as a gift to avoid fees, good luck getting dinged $2500 for each transaction.

this is why you DONT FUCKING DO THIS BC IT’S ILLEGAL

please always remember to send commission payment as ‘goods and services’! you might save an artist a couple dollars sending it as a donation or ‘to family/friends’ but you’re also putting artists at serious risk. and if an artist asks you for fee-free payments…. maybe let them know about this.
