I am sorry, English is not my native language and I have some trouble understanding how the marketplace options work.

If I understand it correctly: 

I can register as a content developer, choose not to provide any payment information, upload content in the marketplace and if people buy it, I will receive DA points as commission.
Now, if I want to cash out these DA points, I will have to apply for "Certified Content Developer", provide payment information (including the necessary W-8 form) and, if my application is accepted, I will be able to cash out the DA points. 

Do I have this right? Or is there another way to earn money (not DA points)?

Thanks for any replies!

Hi...

When you start as a basic level Content Developer you can sell your work in the Marketplace and you will receive payments in DA Points (the currency used in the Marketplace). Once you have received DA Points for selling content, you can if you wish use the DA Points you earned to purchase other content from the Marketplace for yourself.

Alternatively, you can hold onto the DA Points and as your Marketplace sales grow, you can optionally apply to become a "Certified Content Developer". Once you become a CCD level developer you can then cash out your DA Points and receive monthly payments directly into your bank account (if you have earned enough each month).

I hope this helps answer your questions. :)

Thank you Peter,

So, if I understand this correctly, I can earn DA points even if I haven't filled out the payment information yet. This information is needed only for CCD level, right?
