I JUST NOW REALIZED that ko-fi donations are marked as business transactions in my paypal account, and that each of them comes with the person’s address and a little “ready to add shipping info” tag on them
so i’m going through every time someone has kindly given me a couple dollars in the past. year? and marking them all as “order processed” so I don’t get in HUGE trouble for not putting shipping information on these “orders”
WHY… ARE THEY PROCESSED THAT WAY… why aren’t they processed as DONATIONS?
Reblogging this for all my artist followers!! Make sure to check these arent being processed the same way please!
They aren’t processed as donations because you’re not a registered non-profit organization. According to PayPal, people don’t just give each other money.
To everyone who has so kindly sent me money or purchased a commission, you’re about to receive emails from PayPal stating that the order has been marked as complete.
Edit: I looked and some transactions last year were marked as donations. I’m not sure what changed, because now donations via ko-fi are marked as payments.
@insanereddragon not sure if you were aware of that?
Only one person has ever used my Ko-Fi button. Just went to my PayPal, and sure enough, it was waiting for me to add shipping info! For anybody unsure how to proceed with that, you click the option to add a tracking number for the “purchase”, then select “Order Processed” from the drop down list. it’ll automatically check “No tracking info required” and if you save it, it’ll consider the “order” processed.
The only reason I can think of that Ko-Fi processes donations this way is that they take a percentage of the payment in fees. Still, I had NO IDEA it did this until I saw this post. Thank you for the heads up, please signal boost for anybody who doesn’t know!
If anyone who’s bought me a coffee suddenly gets an email about an order from me… this is me just making sure I’m not committing some kind of financial crime…

I don’t mean to be so flakey, y’all.
I know it’s way before the midnight deadline, but I just got back from rehearsal and I’ve got a lot to do as a director–it’s my first time I don’t want to screw it up!–there’s so much behind the scenes that even actors aren’t really privy to (never mind that this is also my first time acting so…)
I am less a graceful swan furiously paddling beneath the surface and more a dog barking at a tree and running in circles.
… but do check out Geek Show 2: Bindlecon

NOISY – QAF Concrit
QAF Script (2018-03-09)
What I’ve been working on for the last couple of days! I’d appreciate it if y’all took a look at it–concrit is appreciated!
Guess who is acting and directing in this?
It’s me! 😀
(Both excited and nervous, either way will be a lot busier until the show run is over)
Missed Post (2018-03-03)
Home a bit late, although I have crossposted the ficlets onto ao3 earlier today.
Also I don’t have anymore prompts in my ask box… maybe it’s time to wind it down anyway?
And I probably ought to focus on script-writing… I’ve been putting it off like a fool and the due date is the 11th!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
(It’s raining and cold and lovely, but more conducive to lazy media consumption than writing)
I don’t want to be rude, or seem like I’m rushing you, but based on your reactions, you likely haven’t gotten the ask I sent about how interesting I thought an out-of-order student/teacher relationship would be–do you have any advice on how soon after a sent message I should send another without being rude or pressuring you?
I don’t think I got that one either, anon? I think tumblr has been particularly hungry lately…
The closest thing I got that somewhat matches what you are referring to of out-of-order-student/teacher relationship might be this? But that seemed more like a mere mention than a cohesive idea?
The only other asks that are in my inbox (which I received only today–February 27th) are an anon’s prompt for a mobius story and @hbkmzk’s DoS prompt. Like with most prompts, I’ll try to get to those ASAP, generally my turn around time is within three days at most (unless I’m VERY swamped which, given tumblr is eating all of my asks, is not the case here)
I think maybe the problem here, anon, is that you’re anonymous. If you had an account I would say send me a chat message the day after you send an ask that way I can confirm whether or not I received it. But because you’re anonymous, as far as I know, each ask is a different person entirely and there’s no continuity. Like this ask just now seems a little rude to me because as far as I’m concerned it’s like a random person I never met is bursting out of the crowd and asking why I never responded to them? Whereas for you, I’m the rude one because you said something to me and I just ignored you.
Which is not the case, anon: I answer every ask I get. The problem is I’m apparently NOT GETTING THEM?
I think the best way to deal with this on your end, anon (besides, maybe, getting off anon and using an account?) is that if you’ve sent multiple asks and I answer a later one with no reference whatsoever to the earlier one then that probably means I didn’t get the earlier one. At which point, feel free to send in the earlier one with a disclaimer like “sent this in earlier, but I don’t think you got it, sending it in again, etc. etc.”
The only thing I can do on my end–which is what I have been doing and will continue to try to do, as I think it’s just a really good practice–is to answer every ask as soon as I get them (I may queue them, but my queue is rarely longer than three posts and I always put asks to the top anyway) and answer them in order of when I receive them.
tl;dr: tumblr is apparently eating a lot of my asks. Anon status makes it really hard for me to tell who you are (for obvious reasons) so I can’t figure out a continuity for asks that don’t exist. I answer asks generally within three days and in order of when I receive them.
