    @SkarredGhost @Meta I checked out on the Meta website with PayPal. Couple days before shipping it was declined as potential fraud. Makes sense bc the amount is way higher than any normal game purchase. They sent me an email with a notice that my payment declined and a link to fix it. (1/2)

    @Calendly @davidrmunson Only problem (and it's a big problem) is that @Calendly won't allow you to bill customers in yen, even though their partners PayPal and Stripe do offer that functionality.

    @mishamono A lot of artists I know have had trouble with PayPal recently, myself included, especially with them holding money for lengthy periods for no justifiable reason. If you can use a different service, it’s probably better. PayPal is terrible.

    @jnfisher384 Dude PayPal has ALWAYS given me trouble. It used to ban my account every other day for literally nothing. I eventually just quit with it.

  • Melissa_XR Melissa Schmitz (@Melissa_XR) reported

    @SkarredGhost @Meta So I called PayPal to verify it wouldn't get declined, checked out again, and everything was fine. I received it today, as promised upon checkout, without issue. So are you sure you didn't have a payment issue? (2/2)
