We cut checks once a month to the mailing address on file. There is no minimum (or maximum!) to receive a check. A paper check is the default method. We prefer to use PayPal® or Venmo®. If you provide us your tag, we will opt to use it first. In the event of a snag, the default method is used.
IMPORTANT! Keep your profile current. We are not responsible for lost, stolen or misguided monies.
Account Deletion
You may delete your account anytime but doing so doesn't delete your stuff. We keep it safe in case you come back. You will still recieve any money from sales.
