EDIT3: THIS POST IS NOW OUTDATED ♥ I will no longer answer questions on this post.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

I still convert points to real money but through the "commission widget"!
So ppl can commission you for points and you turn it to real currency!
But with Eclipse coming I do not know how much that will change ♥
And yuh probably haha (///)
No worries about it! ♥

Do you need a card for your paypal account to get the money?

i made a paypal account with just my email, no card

Yeah, but for transferring money you need a card

Do we have to attach our card to the PayPal account in order to transfer our earnings?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but you can to make it more secure
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
possibly, since Paypal requires you to verify that you're a legit U.S. citizen to use most of the online services or buying things online.
I remember using Ko-fi but I couldn't receive the money because I wasn't verified.

Does your PayPal account need to be verified in order to accept the transfer of points? My account isn't verified and I don't want the points to go to waste D:

It does not need to be verified, from my knowledge. ♥

People are saying that without a bank account attached to their paypal that the money REFUSES to send over. I'm kinda pissed bc deviantart didn't tell me that when I was setting it up and now i have about 20$ that i probably cant even use when it clears tomorrow.

URGENT: I have people who paid me for points however when they clicked my commission button I'm not aloud to get the money/points. Will it convert to points after the time? It says it expires in X days and I'm not getting the points from these people.... I'm honestly so sad to be doing art they paid for but I'm not getting the money.../points....

You have to accept the points they send you through the commission widget.
If it is not through the widget, it cannot be converted.

I’m not sure if you already said this or not so sorry about the question, but, if you don’t have core membership, but some commissioned you for 10 points for example, and that equals 10 cents, are you able to convert it to currency? With no core? So then you have 10 cents and not 10 points from your commission, and they commissioned you in the commission widget?????
Please, anyone answer this, just a little confused, sorry
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It must be through the commission widget.
It would be 10 cents yes.
But you need at least 15$ I think, to withdraw it to paypal.
I do not answer questions anymore, as I wrote this almost 6 years ago now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh sorry, I didn’t direct this question to anyone, it was just for whoever knows the answer, sorry.
Thanks though! <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
So there really is no way to convert points to money if you're not a core member? :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You still can convert points to money if you're a non-core member.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You just have to use the Commissions widget on your DA page. DA is gonna take some of the profit but this is how you can also do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
But if you already have something in your balance and you plan on taking it into your wallet, can you still take it without Core? Sorry for asking too many questions ^^"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No really it's fine I don't mind being asked a lot of q's!
And if you mean your current balance under the Shop tag, then no you can't. Only the points that are being processed from using the Commissions widget can be converted. Or if you have another account you can just do it that way through the widget but you won't get an exact amount when you process it.

Oh, alrighty ^^
Thanks for clearing things up for me ;v;

You're welcome dear! Glad I could help!

I make a commission section in the widget for them to pay through and you get the money equivalent. This is just uploading an image and people buying the premium content.
You could also make a second account like XennyBoi said, if you have no-one available to pay you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only other drawback to that "work around" scheme is that IF / When your caught it's a lifetime ban from the get go,
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
all i did was send my Points to a second account
then commissioned myself
only downside is you have to wait 13 days to actually have the money
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
You should also mention that it's a lifetime ban if your caught doing this action.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is it really? Do you have a source for this? :0 Because it doesn't make sense to me, if you're getting money via people paying you points anyways, what does it matter if they pay you in points initially and then just convert it yourself via the second account method? Just curious, I don't plan on doing it, I just find it silly to be banned for something so...stupid :T
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
See the information from DA themselves. Unless you use their widgets, you can't turn points back into money.
And they DONT CARE how you got the points. Worse should they catch you trying to create a 2nd account to launder the money, you'll be banned. I suspect there is a very good legal reason for why this is not permitted. As near as I can determine without access to DA's own files, this is to prevent money laundering on a criminal level. Where party 1 pours lots of money (but below the mandatory reporting level) into points. Then transfers to another account, also owned by party 1 or the person they own money, where it's turned into seemingly legally earned cash. Technically that makes DA the Fence for the illegal funds. And a mere 20% is peanuts to what the black market normally would charge for this service if you had to use a 3rd party.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Was there any limits in the second account like you couldn't send them points because it's a new account or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This looks like it's only profitable for people who earn more points than the money they're paying dA to retain their core membership.
