Alicia, veteran Cassie² (@Aleash89) reported@Mimpusheenuwu @Cutie__Factory PayPal can NOT act like a bank in your country because it has never been a business registered as a bank anywhere in the world. People might hwve THOUGHT it was a bank, but that is wrong and why lots of people are loosing lots of money due to account issues.

-
BoxOfWant (@BoxOfWant) reported@eduardgorte_ @SirBadOpinions The problem isn't that artists don't want to accept crypto, the problem is that almost no client would be willing to pay with them. Things like PayPal only have power because it's the only thing most clients have to pay with.

Dodo on Security 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 (@dodo_sec) reportedApartheid me Elmo who begged Epstein to invite him to parties has opinions on morality. What is morally wrong is for the PayPal mafia to not be hanging upside down for constantly pursuing technocracy with a side dish of mass surveillance

Witch Rose | Req Drawing Available (4/5) (@WitchRosemary) reportedIf PayPal keeps this down to deep abyss. I'm sure hundreds or billions artists are unable to get their money by this stupidity they made. I'm also not sure about opening IDN price. BECAUSE I know how's bad right now is the conditions of IDN money...

Thompson1651 (@Coreyblake1990) reportedI'm going to be off stream at least until June 1st. I'm still trying to pay off my PayPal balance. So far I have put almost $25 into PayPal with surveys. I want to get my bill down as much as possible before I get my check. I'm going to get my account paid for next month and then decide if I want to use my account for a Xbox or or wait for the GTA 6 collectors edition. Once again if you feel you'd like to help with my PayPal balance I'd greatly appreciate it. My account was locked because I wasn't able to pay my bill when I was in the hospital. I just got into my account and have been trying to get the bill paid for. My venmo information is updated if you'd like to help. I thank you for considering and I plan to stream some big gaming titles such as 007 First Light, Fable, GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 when I get a digital Series X.

Alex (@Jfreeg_) reported@fidexcode That’s a fair question. For companies like PayPal, it often comes down to regulations—some countries have strict financial laws, sanctions, or high fraud risks that make operating there complicated or risky. It’s frustrating for users, though, especially if you’re just trying to send or receive money. What’s your take on it?

-
Jhincx-Faust ⚡️Commissions OPEN (@Jhincx_Faust) reported@emiihunn_ afaik. theres only issues with NSFW stuff. just dont label them or ask your client not to be specific about that when sending. (if thats what you do) . i do commissions over paypal for years now ,and never had problems. (i guess cuz i never do nsfw)

PetitePrincess (@PetiteNativee) reportedWhere's all the horny men that want ***? Paypal me and get me high daddy I'm down to be your piece of *** on here.
-
Myzidya (@Myzidya) reported@tn_daki Yes. They also can close down sellers who've things they don't like anywhere via any channel. For example one has a Paypal tip jar, and a separate nsfw website or socials page elsewhere with the same brand or company name. There's risk even if Paypal is not used with the latter.

KnivarKuuja🔪🐊👑 (Open Commissions) (@KnivarKuuja) reported@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.

Kamanira | 3D Artist | Comms Open (@KamaniraArt) reportedIgnore 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.
-
✨Alex ✨(COMMS OPEN) (@JuustAlexx) reportedAlso a heads up, if you’re want to commission me and PayPal is the only option, just send the money and don’t write anything down when you send the payment.

toddboy (@toddems2) reported@Dragonposting2 @AniTVOfficial The problem is a lot of the people banned already didn't say what it was for PayPal is crazy vague

Emerald Apple (@AI_EmeraldApple) reportedThis is mainly due to pressure coming from payment processors. Not from Japanese censorship laws, which haven't changed since 2011 where it was amended to criminalize the distribution of illegal obscene content electronically. Companies like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal have been strong-arming platforms like DLsite, Fantia, Pixiv, etc. to crack down on the problematic content. It's all just pressure from the same usual suspects of Western corporate Karens who are on a power trip, deciding what adults are allowed to enjoy. Even if Japan abolishes Article 175, it won't stop the censorship pressure, because western adult only platforms are facing similar restrictions when it comes to certain themes, even if they are based in the US. Content that is fully legal cannot be distributed or shared in the West, much of which is still legal in Japan, without risking being debanked by the processors. Even if you think hentai and **** content is immoral, do you know how dangerous this is? We now have a corporate cabal of unelected elites deciding what can and cannot be monetized. We are the slow boiling frog in the pot, and they are taking the first inch, so that in the future they can do the same for "wrong think". It's already happened to many people, and too many are sitting idle like nothing is happening.
