Question about Paypal's invoicing system

[vaekke.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone!

On recommendation of others, I'm trying to get in the practice of sending invoices for my commissions, so that there are fewer chances of people mentioning FA, and another reason was so that I could select "services" instead of "goods" to avoid any trouble with paypal!

but oops, I just realized there's no option to select "services" instead of "goods", and goods is the default!

Do I have to resort to the "request money" option? I liked how organized the invoicing system was, but my whole goal was "avoid getting my account shut down" haha. I feel like others here have made invoicing work for them, unless they're just using it as shorthand for the "request money" option?

Are customers able to enter a memo when you use "request payment"? That's the only other thing I'm concerned about; someone mentioning furaffinity.net and paypal getting wind of it, haha.

I'm not sure, but I've never had a problem with it. I've also heard that FA is fine with Paypal, the problem is when customers start describing adult images, since it's against their rules. But I don't see that many people writing that in descriptions.

I don't think so.

I believe they are not able to enter memos when the invoice is sent. I've been using them for a while, and so far I'm the only one of the transaction who can (duh) write a memo XD Then again, I've never been invoiced by anyone so I don't know >_>
