Thank you Olivia for starting the chat today, I do appreciate it! 

I was excited last week to get ahold of a brand new smart phone, and as Olivia can attest, I've already downloaded a kajillion apps.  Choosing one is hard, but I'm definitely enjoying the various music streaming services I've been using lately - especially since I have a distinct taste for Irish punk rock, such as the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

Hello All,

Speaking of a favorite app, I just upgraded to an iPhone 4, so I am having all sorts of fun with apps this week. I would have to say I really do not have a favorite I use PayPal, eBay, Facebook, Twitter and love the Groupon app because they always have great deals going on. I am always looking for new great apps.

Hi there, I posted a topic like this already, but since I didn't see replies yet, I thought it'd be best to talk with an admin about it. I opened up a student account (since I was too young by a few months) so I can sell request pictures people offer at different prices. So I was wondering if it was actually possible. If so, then how can this be done?

Welcome MissComical! 🙂

I'll have a response to your question in a couple minutes.

Hi MissComical,

It's definitely possible to receive payments using a PayPal Student Account.  You can provide the email address on your account to your buyers and they can use the "Send Money" tab to pay you.  You could also use the "Request Money" tab to invoice them.

Are you selling these pictures on your website/blog or another venue?

[MissComical]

Well, it's by my own website and advertising on a site that allows artists to advertise that. I just wasn't quite sure how to do it though. 

[PayPal_Frank]

MissComical,

Thanks for the info. 🙂  Do you plan on manually invoicing them or were you thinking about having some sort of checkout or button on your website?

[MissComical]

I was planning on making a button for it. Something similar to what it's like if I had the premier account to create a button.
