EDIT3: THIS POST IS NOW OUTDATED ♥ I will no longer answer questions on this post.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

Yah, you have to 'submit' then it gives you the option, but I notice you're a beta tester, so when you submit a deviation, on the right top up by downloads, it says Premium Content? Just click that and you can set up the payment point options that way.

oh my goodness you are right!
but I don't understand about the attachment, what is the different between model release form, and permission document?? sorry for asking a lot..

I don't know haha I never read the details. XD

ohh! alright, thank you much!!

Wait i dont get it. If someone give you that points for commission then you can't take them as money? WTH where is the profit of points? O_o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They have to download a deviation from you, or else you can´t convert it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you can't actually take the points that you already have and turn 'em into money?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Kinda stupid they don't allow that ;u;
It's our art, they shouldn't keep us from converting points to money when we no longer have use for accumulated points over time. (Such as outgrowing points on DA yet having tons of them)

You could always trade points with someone you trust and have them "buy" something from you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm....I don't know how this would work out Oo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just an idea, but at least they can be converted now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Huh, when it says that you can set up a picture so that you can have people pay for commissions there, do you know if the buyer can pay a higher amount of points than needed to buy the download?
Cause I have commissions that are at a lot of different prices, so I need to know whether I need to set up like 15 different deviations at different prices or just set up one.
Or should just set up each commission at its correct price?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the person can only pay the said amount ;;;
You probaly need 15 different ones.
The thing is too that the person can only "download and pay" you picture once
So if you want a person to pay the double you have to do 2...
It´s pretty annoying ;;;''''
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, alternatively they could just adjust the amount to be paid, since it can be changed as many times as you want, and only make a new if they want to commission again in the future. ^ ^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes that is true, but you usually have more than one commissioner at time, therefore it could be hard if they want to pay at the same time.
Plus you can´t see who paid you ;;;'

i've never had that problem haha /hit
my adopts, and anything i try to sell always sell slow
i don't mind though, i'm just happy people like my stuff so much <3

Is it possible to convert the points you already have to your paypal, instead of having the user purchase them at the image screen?

I can hide these comments for you <3

No it's fine. If anything happens to my account in the next 14 days or so I can use it as some sort of evidence of me not knowing. If nothing happens THEN we can hide these comments ;w;
Thank you though!

hi! i need help @ v @ when i'm submitting my sta.sh art to deviantart, on that page where you can edit it before it goes onto dA, there's no "generate earnings" box?
i'm a beta tester/premium member > w <
and i have a paypal
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Question: Can you convert preexisting Points (a.k.a Points just transferred with the "give" or "donate" option from one user to another) to real money? And how, if you can?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
No you can´t, and if you find a way to do so, it´s illegal <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish you could. That stinks... >>;

i wish i had the opportunity to do it, but I can't even use the premium content platform
;_______________________________________;

I know this is to show how to convert points to money, but can I sell downloads for points only? o.o Do I still need to paypal if I just want to sell for points?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Noo you don´t need PAypal if you only need points *w* <33333
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol oh okay, but does that mean DA still takes 80% of it? or does that only happen with paypal? o.o (sorry for so many questions )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dA still takes 20% of it ;;; <333
Therefor if you only want points, ask them to just send them to you instead <33333

lol that's probably a better idea xDDD Thank you so much for helping me!~

If the "select a category" option disappeared for you (like it did for me) simply click "Submit to Deviantart" on the side. It takes you to the same place as "select a category" does.
