A PSA because some folks apparently need to know this:
CashApp is NOT FOR COMMISSIONS. It has no buyer or seller protections. It has very little in the way of scam prevention. It's not *intended* for business transactions (and in fact, they will ban you if they suspect you are using it for commercial purposes). It's meant to send money between family and friends (e.g. everyone chipping in for pizza at a room party, or paying your share of a con hotel room to the person who has the room).
If you are a commissioner and an artist is insisting that you use CashApp, DO NOT COMMISSION THEM. That is a red flag. (Just like if they tell you "send payment on PayPal as 'friends and family.' Do not do that, ever. Ask for an invoice.)
If you're an artist and you're using CashApp to collect payment, STOP IT.
