  • FireCrotchToys FireCrotchToys (@FireCrotchToys) reported

    Just a heads up before the drop happens in about 10 minutes. I have currently removed paypal as one of the payment options on my site. Paypal gave me tons of issues with the last drop, so the standard shopify payment options are available until I can figure things out.

    @AlistairCaradec I've had issues with Paypal twice and both times the easiest way to resolve it was to just create a whole new account with a new email address, which is still a monumental pain in the ***. Terrible company, awful support.

    @Nathan_Heatser @Ch4ng3butNSFW @Fast_uwu my mother had to deal with a scammer and it's actually hard to get a refund, they want you to talk to the artist and then send proof before they issue refunds that the artist isnt willing to work with you. Since this artist has offered to work with them paypal wont help them
