    @HexeyDuh Also ppl need to start using Wise ngl PayPal makes up the currency exchange rates to charge you a lot for no reason 😭 and is slow af and has literally no support at all but wise is the exact opposite, super transparent and cheap fees and great support just saying

    @HoinLP I get a little bit better your point even if I think it’s still 2 different problems, because if PayPal Visa and ect does have this issues, it can give ideas to all the alternatives and it’s a problem we should focus about our right as consumers too

    @UFOkiyo My filo friend is having the same problem. Sent them money for comms and they got restricted 🥲 Everyone else I know (including myself) don't seem to have a problem with paypal atm

    @inkusumi My paypal business name is the same as my pen name on all platforms. Am I in trouble even if I don't sell NSFW services?TOT

    EXACTLY! Artists crying about PayPal taking down their accounts but can't ******* read the rules. Then they spread half assed infos. Annoying.

    @Landarting Given recent events, I would have thought it would have been my PayPal or Gmail account that was shut down first. But still, it's crazy how people can be so quick to condemn NSFW content but not violence.

    @Grummz just dont fill in the blank space of comments or saying what your comm is if you dont do that, paypal wont shut you down

    These are the same people doing the new NEO GEO, so if you have problems expect to wait weeks before you get money back, I didn't get an answer from them Paypal sorted it out, that's why I use them.

    PayPal owes $500 and I hope they asses shut down

    Isn't this as easy as just not telling Paypal what you're drawing? Just straight up sending money request to people would prevent this issue no? I might be wrong tho

    @melmartinezstan @no1dietcokelvr @weverseshop yea, they gave the money back after like an hour for me aswell, it never showed in paypal at all, but i saw the money go down through my banking app. scary af😭

    Don't rely on Monolith clouds. Keep all vital projects in local/own storage. If you need the convenience of a server, make your own with things like Nextcloud. Any third party service can be shut down by Paypal/Visa/MC, or can decide to just one day unperson you, like this.

    I've had 2 separate PayPal accounts because I moved to Europe and my account on my beautiful 3rd world country was limited with options, but I never had a problem with them, actually I've just gotten notifications about pp expanding the amount limit on my account due to good use

  • InWayneMode
    Wayne (@InWayneMode) reported

    @HieuHere349 I'm sorry I've never had this problem. I just filled out the information and I used paypal as a payout. My personal FB profile also matches my name too. I have heard people outside of the US having similar issues I think. PIB has a whatsapp group that may be useful for you. There is a group called "Facebook admin, payout, account issues". Others who have had similar issues may be able to help

    @DanTorres305 So far, I haven't had any issues with PayPal. In any case, if anything does come up, I'll let you know here. Just send me a private message to let me know what you'd like me to draw for you.

    @falloutyuh Well tbh that’s mostly what I’ve been aware of It also might be the fact PayPal is cracking down on these types of stuff and shutting down accounts for it cause of payment processors not liking anything

  • yengyengsorabby

    Ngl im so happy ppl are getting more angry at paypal cuz Ive had problems w them when i started using it the 1st day then immediately got limited permanently and especially now that u CANT ******* contact their costumer service (atleast in my case) i hope paypal gets more hate

    Sometimes when I see stuff like paypal clamping down on NSFW content I feel apathetic because when I saw people celebrating the arrest of that one Vtuber I became a burn it all down so when we hopefully build it back up we're all on the same page about artistic expression

    @ofxc1ox paypal seems to be causing problems, i paid using the Eximbay option and it worked.

    I see programs with great products and zero sales. Reason? Slow loading, bad mobile experience, no PayPal. Affiliates notice.

    This is really concerning to me. While I don't consider myself to be an adult content creator, I've had problems with PayPal in the past. It's only going to be a matter of time before Payment Processors decide what they can just ban on a whim unless we voice our concerns.

    now that @PayPal shut down my account, I can just not pay off my credit card right? that's how they wanna play?

    @The__Goomba yeah okay cool neat. the girl with the pink hair Saya Takagi is from highschool of the dead. shes 16 by the shows lore. there in lines the problem. paypal doesn't wanna process payments of artists that make adult content of that nature. thats why the affected are all hush hush

  • TheAngelOfBaal
    🩸Siggy🩸 (@TheAngelOfBaal) reported

    I'm seeing a lot more talk about PayPal and it's cracking down on all NSFW on my feed. It reminds me how PayPal banned my *** because I am pornography. Mind you, not what I post, not anything involving sales. But donating money to support me the person was apparently pornography

    @vapor_vtuber @Wokenessisevil At what point does it become a utility I understand cake's never gonna become a utility, no matter how much certain people wanted to But the service these paypal services provide it could easily be bypassed with a check in mail I know that is a terrible alternative But where do we draw the line between utility and non utility And who should be allowed to determine that

    @Mephistofleas I’ve called and emailed many times with my first account and they did nothing :( also made a new account for my boss to pay me and within a week it got taken down tried to get it back but nope. My first PayPal, PayPal stole $80 from me 💀

    TopBlokeAlfred (@TopBlokeAlfred) reported

    @emiihunn_ a lot of paypal bans are because kids use fake ID when setting it up. if you're legally of age and are allowed to use PayPal then you'll be fine. It's when kids try mess up the system that it flags the account. Never once had an issue.
