EDIT3: THIS POST IS NOW OUTDATED ♥ I will no longer answer questions on this post.
EDIT2: GUUUUYS, PLEEEEEEEASE read through the other comments. I´m 99% sure that your question has been asked AND ANSWERED before. EDIT: Not EVERYONE has been given this future yet it seems.
It can take up to 14 days for your money to end up in paypal.
I don´t know if many people know about this or even how to do it..~♥
THAT´S WHY IM GOING TO TELL YOU!
How to take point commissions and still earn REAL FRESH MONEY!
What you need:
Be a Premium Member BETA TESTER
Have a Paypal
That easy!
However if you are going to do this dA takes a part of the money you earn. Around 20 Points on Every 80 points [I think]
Which makes you earn only 60 points even if you sell for 80.
That´s why I suggest you think that 1 Dollar = 100 points
Instead of 80, that way you won´t lose anything on it. *w* ~
How to do it!
You need to upload your picture to Sta.sh
Then Click on the Uploaded picture in your Sta.sh.
It should look something like this.
Then you click on the select CATEGORY
It is above the description
Then you should end up HERE
SCROLL DOWN
Until you come to THIS
Here you see down to the left "Generate earnings"
And beneath "Sell downloads as premium content"
Select THAT BOX
And it will look like this!
Here you decide how much to sell your picture for.
As I said dA "takes" 20 points/ 0.20 $ so I suggest to think that 1 $= 100
If you are selling a piece that is a commission for example I suggest that you crop the picture to the extreme or something until the person has Bought it!
OR make a picture beforehand that says "PAY FOR COMMISSIONS HERE"
You can always change how much it should cost, so you can change it for every commissioner
That way the Da points come to use again for real purpose!
HOWEVER
You cannot withdraw your money to PayPal until you have earned at least 5 $
How do I see my earnings?
SIMPLE!
You go to this box. And down to the right you can see "MY EARNINGS"
Click there!
AND.......... VOILA!
HOPE YOU FIND THIS USEFUL GUYS!
I just figured this out as well, I hope I haven´t taken anything wrong or explained it wrong!
If so please correct me!
A-and I´m not good with HTML stuff, so sorry if the pictures are small TAT ~♥
HAVE A LOVELY DAY

Don't try to convert your points through the Commissions widget, those assholes will notice and will void your transaction.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
If you need to convert points to real money, let's help each other and try to "commission" ourselves. I think it will work than.
Only if you are really interested in it and won't scam.

hi, im planning to do my first commission real soon to earn a bit of money but i am wondering what you meant by not converting points through the Commissions widget. Does this mean that I will not be able to convert the points to real currency?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can't convert the points you already have (from donations and the Give Points option) to the Earnings page and therefore to PayPal or a check if you fake a commission with another account (giving your points to that account and "buying" yourself a commission with the widget) because they will notice that and void your transaction.
So if you want to earn real money, don't use the Points as your currency, I recommend you to use PayPal directly as the payment method, but if they only have points to pay you, tell them to use the Commissions widget and you'll get the money without problem because this time is a real commission.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
Wait so use commissions widget? Because I did that and it's saying it's pending and cannot be withdrawn even though points were taken.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have to wait 15 days until the earning is released, and after that -supposing that they won't void it- you'll be able to withdraw it to PayPal or a Check.

PayPal? Premium/Core member?
Now I start to think that I've been going completely nowhere with those 600 points...
Bah, I'm not even from the US.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its now available for all members; you dont have to be core! (you have to use a widget however, you cant convert if you are gifted/donated the points)
and i dont think it matters if youre in the US ;A; unless you dont use USD?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh?
Well it's good to know. Very good to know actually.
The only thing I need to know is which widget? Honestly I use the Donation Poll since the actual Commission widget seems too confusing to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can use the "download premium content" option when submitting or the commission widget to get paid <:
there will be a clearance period of 14 days
then the points will be available to withdraw through paypal or as a check! there will be some fees though ;A;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well alright.
Another problem I see is how this will affect my credit card since I never gave any info about it? I can't find any answer to this question on the FAQ unless it's my bad searching skills again.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have to create a widget and then the people buying must complete the transaction directly through the widget you created. They cannot gift it to you or else you will be unable to convert the points.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
widget? the commission widget?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. At least that's how I see people doing it.

And I thought those points were useless.. I had no idea you can convert them until now
Woah! Thank u so much for this !

Uh, so I have a question. When it goes to select category, where that *should* be, my sta.sh just says "2016 uqw". Is there any way to fix this, or is this article outdated now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So is this actually still applicable?
I used to do this on one of my old accounts before the switch to "CORE" and I don't want to buy a membership if I can't even still do this.
Thank you so much!

It's available for all users now (non-CORE included)

So I have a question.
Once I get more watchers, I want to do this thing where I give away adoptables (for 50-300 points each)
I'm trying to earn money so I get a drawing tablet.
Would it be wrong if I asked users to pay me for the adoptables via the commission widget? (since that's the only way to get real money)
Could you get banned for that sort of thing? Or is it common?
I'm sorry if I sound like a.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it is fairly common for people to ask to pay through the commission widget. don't worry. c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So pages such as
bestphotopackseverr.deviantart…
can upload nothing but copyright infringing work, and ask for points in return, and then send them over to a beta test account, and convert points into real money, monetizing from copyright infringing work?
