There's this service called square cash.
You know what's cool about it is that it just transfers money between two people's bank accounts without some weird middle man that charges you fees or imposes rules on how or what you spend your own fucking money on (cough ahem paypal). They also can't just take your money from you or lock your account and prevent you accessing your own fucking money (ahem PAYPAL cough). You also don't even have to sign up because it is basically an online point of sale like any dang old cash register at the store. The only drawback is that right now they only operate in the US.
Artists, especially those doing adult works, should consider using this service if they can!
Another cool thing for artists is that they offer a service where you can scan credit or debit cards via smartphone or tablet and receive payment at conventions.
I remember Cooner talking about this a while back and my interest was peaked then, and it still is. Going to need to keep an eye out! Hopefully it'll become a world-wide service because I get alot of commissioners from Canada and UK as well as US. We'll see! Thanks for plugging this as well AD!
I really should look into using this some time. The swipe things are really neat, but even just how their online transactions work would be really helpful. Thanks for reminding me this exists! :)
Google Wallet does both, and just makes the sender pay the 3% CC processing fee if they fill their balance from their credit card. I kind of like that solution a bit better.
I'm not actually seeing that restriction in Wallet's terms of service. I'd be interested to read up on exactly what is and isn't allowed. Do you have a link?
oh actually when i logged on just now i had to confirm and agree to a brand new TOS which is completely different than the one from several months ago. it looks like they do allow legal adult material now! awesome! https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/2953140?hl=en&ref_topic=2701546
