  Tyrant (@TyrantBarrios) reported 2 minutes ago

  In my case, even living in a sanctioned country, I never had any problems with my account since 2020; anyway, I have an old backup account. My main fear is not that I'll be banned, but that PayPal will stop operating in my country

  @Sunburst4_ @heo__yui I am not the one who had issues with paypal tho Just hate the fees

  I always issue Paypal invoices to clients and never had any problems, this way you can control the invoice content you send out (SFW names and descriptions)✨

  @EezySeven I don't follow grummz however PayPal has had a history of this and has done this to me prior. PayPal has had a strict policy against nsfw for years so in a sense he's no wrong they've been shutting down commission work.

  @AFpost Today I had a Chinese guy send me broken equipment and won’t pay me back, so I called PayPal and had to speak to a jeet for 30 min, then I had a customer call me who only spoke Spanish. (100% real) what country is this again?

  @JacketPotato12 I'm really sorry for the trouble, you can try it again or contact me to buy and pay me directly with Paypal, thank you <3

  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

  this PayPal issue has been happening for years, you're just seeing another wave in the public light. I lost my account back in 2021 and it's been painful ever since. So here's some more options

  @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.

  @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

  Ignore this *******, Grummz is engagement baiting again The OP said they filed an appeal and it was resolved within minutes. Paypal isn't cracking down, OP got hit by a bot and it was resolved. Things are the same, use invoices, don't use sus names on them, and you'll be fine.

  I thought being an adult was freedom, I thought I wouldn't have to worry about getting in trouble for nsfw art by my mom once I was an adult... but I was wrong, now every site thinks its my parents and doesn't want me to draw ***** no no art... **** u paypal

  Later, they unblocked me, apologized, asked me to delete my post, and sent the payment again. But then a refund issue was created, and I had to refund the payment. I gave them an alternative PayPal account, but they blocked me once again and disappeared after scamming me again.

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

  @investingbyGenZ It’s a niche problem honestly. PayPal giving data doesn’t flow into any CRMs in my industry. Big problems for businesses with with multiple SaaS subscriptions. I still own the stock but these are my concerns seeing daily on front lines

  @Grummz This is nothing new. In early 2024, I lost my PayPal account because of the same problem.

  @_itsharumi_ Hi! I'd love to preorder something from you as well, but im running into the same issue as someone else as i also only have paypal and no visa 🥹

  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.

  If PayPal gets an inkling of you using their platform for 18+ work, they will shut you down, and you lose access to any funds left in your account. This has happened since forever, and is not a new policy change. Enforcement always comes in waves.

  a freelancer in Ukraine, Poland, or Nigeria gets a new US client. the client asks: "how do i pay you?" the honest answer, before kast existed, was: "it's complicated." option 1: paypal. the client sends $1,000. paypal takes a percentage. the currency conversion takes another 2-3%. you wait for the funds to clear. total cost: 4-6%, plus the conversion rate risk. option 2: SWIFT wire transfer. the client's bank charges $25-45 to send. your bank charges $10-20 to receive. correspondent banks along the route might take additional cuts. you wait 3-5 business days. total cost: $50-70 plus 2-4 days of uncertainty. option 3: crypto. the client sends USDC. you receive it instantly, with minimal fees. but then: how do you spend it? how do you pay local bills? the off-ramp problem. @KASTxyz changes the answer. you give the client your kast routing number and account number. they pay you via ACH - the standard US domestic payment method that most US companies and freelance platforms use. it arrives in your kast account in USD, same as any US bank account would receive it. no international wire. no SWIFT fees. no correspondent banks taking cuts. ACH is cheap (often free) and fast (1-2 business days for standard ACH, or near-instant for real-time ACH). once the money is in kast: - it earns up to 10% APY through gauntlet vaults while it sits - you spend it with your visa card in 18+ currencies at 150M+ merchants - you can send it to a local bank via global payouts in your local currency - you can pay another freelancer via kast tag with zero fees the routing number is the piece that makes this work. most USD transfer products don't give you a real US routing number - they give you a workaround that requires SWIFT anyway. kast gives you the routing number. that's the product. for anyone invoicing US clients from outside the US, this is the most underrated feature in kast's stack. the earn product and the card are more visible. the routing number is what changes the actual payment workflow. @KASTxyz @Coleta_Cripto
