So, we thought we were just 100€ short for that PC. Turns out that the funding page has taken HALF of the money that hasn't reached my personal paypal, which was around 109€. I could only withdraw 54€, so the total gathered is 284,19€. I've put the difference so it makes 300€

We need 54 to have the second payment covered, and at least another 178 for the third payment in May. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm open to those sketch commissions you all have seen, since it's all I can make because a. I'm not a professional and b. I'm just a nurse with hell shifts. I changed jobs and saw that I'll have to work 9 to 11 days in a row 😭 but I'm trying to help

A reminder of what I can offer for $30-$60 (that's like less Euro for me, just as info I pay the PC with Euro) down here:

Id put the rest but I'm moving this month as well, I got paid less (still my old job) and I'm a little screwed, so I can't.

Still need to figure out how to ship the drawing tablet without my wallet dying

how the hell did the funding page take half of the money, I'd raise a complaint

superfine: thankfully what was donated through PayPal reached me untouched, so that's at least a relief. From those ~355€, 109 were donations connected to the site directly so I guess we should encourage paypal only payments because. Wow

I'm just now starting to process that. it's a huge amount of money that we CAN'T AFFORD and it's horrible the site took advantage of us like that

this is why I can't stand fundraising sites but alas we need them. sigh

I'll add to the post covering your art but I'll take over some of the weight so you can relax a little bit

Onomatophobia: nah the point is that I do some art so I help you. I know I don't deliver rendering but that'd just take me a whole day or two minimum that I can't use on drawing, sadly.

pandaconnoiseur:

yeah but they shouldn't be taking that much money to start with, pretty sure there's gotta be some kind of illegality depending on the site's country of origin /looks them up

superfine: No they say upfront tjhey take 8% out of Every Single Donation, which totaled in that

Oh bluh

superfine: yeah, it's just gross

that's why every single donation needs to go in through PAYPAL and not card or the site directly. they're evil

i was admittedly surprised you didn't just link your kofi, since it has your commission info and i don't think they take too big a percentage of straight donations? but it's been a while since i checked

Also they say they took 8% but it's literally 50% of 109,something euro. Fucked up.

yeah if they say 8% and it's more than 8% that seems off?

I gotta demand some explanations because. Geez. I'm just tired of emailing rn but I totally will.

^^^^ this also

superfine: because Kofi takes a fee and THEN PayPal takes a fee, so out of 50 dollars I'd get almost close to 30

cripes i didn't realize that

i assume kofi can't connect directly to your bank account

Nope
