Unexpected situation + Commissions opening in January by WhiteMantis

Two days ago I got in a tricky situation. I received an email from PayPal where they said they had withdrawn money from my account, but the reasons weren't explained there. I then accessed my account just to see I had -1900$ there.

I contacted them via phone call and they explained me the problem. See, I had transferred 1900$ to my bank account in November. Two days later I received a message from PayPal saying they couldn't transfer the money for some reason, and that the money was sent back to my account. I checked my account and the money was indeed there, so I made the transference a second time.

The problem is, the transference had been successfully made the first time, and when I transferred money again, it was made twice. I received double the money in my bank account (I also confirmed this). Of course, PayPal charged me back for their mistake, and I ended up with -1900$ in my PayPal account.

I didn't lose any money, but it's an annoying situation, and I have to make that negative value positive again.

I can't transfer money back from my bank account to my PayPal account because that service is still unavailable in my country and I can't pay with my credit card because my limit is not enough (because I don't use my credit card for anything - I only use debit card - I never bothered to increase my limit).

I explained my situation to PayPal and they fowarded my problem to the administration. They will be contacting me probably Monday or Tuesday next week.

I will probably need to make that value positive again through direct PayPal transfer, and that means commissions.

TL;DR:

I will be opening for very few (no more than 5) Simple Scenes and Detailed Scenes next month, and maybe some sketches depending on the demand.

I created a simple Weebly page to host my commission information, so you can check it here: http://whitemantis.weebly.com/ (I will be adding more commission options with time, but for now, it has only those).

For fully rendered scenes, they are not first come first served, I will pick some that catch my interest the most, so you don't need to rush anything. :)

Thank you again for the support, and thank you even more if you managed to read this journal entirely.

    Curious; if your paypal is linked to your bank account, will it pull money from your bank if there is none to pull from paypal, when sending a payment?
    See, for me, if I have no funds in Paypal, it'll pull from my bank as a "backup source". If yours allows that too, you MIGHT be able to send the money to a trusted friend and then just have them send it back?

      No, that service is unavailable in my country.

    I hope you can get the situation resolved! Sucks that you have to add extra work because of this :x Maybe if I can afford one, when you open, I'll put in a request :D

    If you have someone that you trust dearly that dose infact have the service to upload money to paypal. You could threw your bank transfer the money to them. And them them upload it to paypal and then send the full amount to you.

      Not to sound like a grammar nazi, but grammar would probably be a good thing here

        Um, well frankly not sounding like a grammer nazi would be probably not commenting. How ever thanks for the heads up on that one.
