he could be full of it but I'm sure it's possible...setting up a paypal account and charge a small fee for the same beat to be leased or licensed can add up over a year, especially if you do nothing but make beats all day...personally
I've made about $0 over the past year(then again I dont sell em)but hey good for him...

,000's but over a long period of time. Used to be cool until soundclick, now everybody "can" make a beat it seems like.

I would say that the one to be on if you are a producer is soundclick.com

If you selling that much over the net, and your using paypal, your a complete idiot.

Tell your boy to get a credit card machine, cause he's losing thousands.

Paypal is nice, but most people are scared of using it.

I completely agree. I don't know this person, but saw him boasting on a message board.

Paypal is an extra large rip off when using it with eBay. They take a cut to post your item, then a cut when accepting paypal fees, then they take a cut of the winnings at the end. Complete rip off.
