Please everyone remember that by using the commission tab you are granting 20% of your earnings to DeviantART for doing nothing but providing you an additional widget i.e. formatting.

I feel like this article is a little misleading in that it does not making that clear. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me, but thats what I'm seeing here and its really messed up. Paypal, an essential service in the transaction of commission goods, only charges 2%. I know saying anything isn't going to do a goddamn thing but I had to put that out there.

It's the same thing with having premium content on your deviations as a way to pay for the transaction with points. (IE, upload watermarked version, pay the price to get high-res unwater-marked, etc.)

Well, I think the best way to 'beat this system'. Is not to use points for your transactions. Paypal only!

I think that this commission widget is organized, though.
