  @GKIDSfilms Hey I can't use shop pay's terrible credit check system. Can you pay through paypal?

•

  @bandwidthslayer @ClementJ64 From what I've heard, the problem might be stemming from payment processors like Master Card, Visa, Paypal etc. They don't want to be used to purchase porn.

  @6lushy I mean nsfw artists are on of also, and not to mention the xause is going to be their problem because more people are doing like paypal and not allowing it. Eventually banks themselves will probably do it too..

  @MatthewDownhour If the problem really is the payment processors balking (is it that visa and PayPal don’t want to be associated with p*rn?) then this inevitably leads to “onlyfans but we only accept crypto” - oh god. Now that I’ve had that thought and put it into the universe….

  Now if only a secure stake-based chain, designed for use by normal human beings, could get running so we could actually *use* the tech to route around PayPal & friends without the obviously unworkable price of "slow motion ecological disaster"

  I really don't want to get back on my Crypto Sucks High Horse again for the second straight day, but the OnlyFans debacle is a good example of the one thing the Bros are right about. The fact that giant corps like Visa & PayPal control what we can spend money on is a BIG problem.

  @gumroad As a result of paypal hiking their fees up, using them to process payments is unsustainable but it is the only option you offer besides direct deposit. What is your solution to this issue, @gumroad ?

  @PhoenixDK **** paypal, i've had so many issues with them.

  john is (not) ok ➐ (@itsjohnbitchez) reported 17 minutes ago

  @blade346 The problem is they're going to be labeled as a porn site by paypal and banks which will end up costing everyone a **** ton more money. ****** is still allowed just not full on porn

  WRT OnlyFans banning explicit material, keep in mind that it's almost entirely bc payment processors like Visa, MC, + PayPal have been increasingly pulling out (ha) of platforms that host porn. It started with sites that had issues w/ exploitation (PHub) but it's spreading.

  Terrycloth (@terrycloth11) reported 19 minutes ago

  @ded_ruckus @chaosprime @AdmiralOPG And even if they could do it it's no different from Paypal except for some reason you expect them not to ban porn. If you want them not to be able to tell that you're buying porn, then... bitcoin doesn't solve that problem.

  We’re experiencing issues offering PayPal at checkout. We're removing our PayPal checkout feature on our website until the issue is resolved. Previous orders placed with PayPal will not be impacted by this change. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

  (this whole thing with OF is not a surprise given that most of the companies who crack down on **** and porn do so for the same reasons. see: paypal)

  @AskPayPal We have! We returned a package via DHL. The seller (scammer that sent broken items) refused the package. It is stuck in customs for 90 days

  @RLTOIEK Only issue with ditching PayPal is that it's international and most alternatives are not so much ;; it's a difficult situation

  @goattime4 @posting_menace @joshuatopolsky "banks and apple" meaning any payment source a company uses. SWs are criminals in their eyes. The company my not discriminate us, but so long as the payment companies (i.e. paypal, cashapp, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, etc...) discriminate us this will always be a problem.

  Lady Of Puppets🏳️‍🌈 (@LadyPromethia) reported 35 minutes ago

  @Bearhuggerus a big problem is that a lot of companies, including app publishers (apple) or payment issuers (master card, paypal...) are very anti porn, so it weighs in the balance. I still think their decision is complete bullshit, but we also gotta look at the bigger picture.

  I have literally had nothing but problems with @PayPal . Every time someone sends me money I either can’t access it or it’s put on hold and it will NEVER let me transfer it to my bank.

  @TheMikeSommer This makes eBay standard envelope even more attractive than it already is. Kind of a double whammy this month for us Sportlots sellers. The new shipping cost and their PayPal issue hurts

  @Aella_Girl Same thing kinda happened with nootropic sales, lotsa stores closed down because paypal, etc. refused to deal with them. Sucks.

  @iskendaris Yeah i stopped using a lot of paypal a while ago bc they were creating other issues for me so its just. Less in my brain. But yeah ******* wild we cant just exchange money

  @fwong Moreso than the rampant chargeback issue for streamers? I can't imagine it is that simple. Protections exist on those platforms to handle those situations. Usually when you hear about a streamer account getting banned on Paypal they get in contact with support and fix it.

  @jpmeyer also there’s a lot of blaming OF when mastercard and paypal etc are clearly the problem
