I need to finish drafting a complete terms of service update for my work, but a big one that I need every one to know now is payment related.

DO NOT SEND ME PAYMENTS AS GIFTS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Send them as payments for goods and services, please. Most of you are good about it, but I can't just let it slide when people don't anymore. PayPal is going to start fining people starting July 1st for not complying with these rules, and I do not want a $2,500 dollar fine hanging over my head. I've never had that much money in my life, I wouldn't be able to pay that.

In conclusion, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT SEND ME PAYMENTS FOR ART AS GIFTS ANY MORE. I will refund you your amount and you will have to send your payment again, the correct way.

Also, TIPS DO NOT REQUIRE THIS. If you'd like to give me a tip for my work, you can send that as a gift in a separate transaction.

That is all for today.
