EDIT3: THIS POST IS NOW OUTDATED ♥ I will no longer answer questions on this post.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

Ok... so I'm a premium member... and I am now an Official Beta Tester... but when I upload something with sta.sh, I don't see a "Generate Earnings" at all! Perhaps I'm doing it wrong? Perhaps I have to do something first?
I really appreciate you for uploading this tutorial... but it seems like I'll be needing more help ;A;

You have to click on "submit to dA" now. dA changed the layout for it ;;
I will make a new updated journal soon ;; <333
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its not 20 points in every 100 , its 20%. so you wouldnt make 60 points out of 80, but rather 64.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
20% of 100 points is 80 points.
That´s why I reccommend thinking that 1 dollar is 100 points because you will only earn 80 points from it. Which is actually 1 dollar. That way you don´t lose anything ;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
20% of 100 points is 20 points.. but what im saying is that you may be right, but only if you are charging exactly 100 points or lots of 100. if you charge like, 84 points, or 640 points, that doesnt really work. its just easier to decide the sum you want, divide it by 5 to see how much is 20%, then add that on top. (ie. 545 divided by 5 = 109. so you'd charge 654.) 100 = $1 doesnt work for every amount.
