Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jett מַלְאָך (@Jett_Malach) reported@CiciTheSaiyan It looks to me it’s the account PayPal has an issue with. I think com’s will still work for most commission artists to get paid through this, but just as long as PayPal doesn’t find the commissioner’s account suspicious.

COMMISSIONS OPEN 🔞SparkieTheArtist🔞 (@Sparkie_Artist) reportedThe issue lies in the fact everyone and their mother uses paypal, and there is no other popular alternative that people uses. Internet people as a collective needs to come up with an alternative that atleast most people use.

Asia (@AsiaLadowska) reportedI have never done nothing ns fw and my paypal shut me off too at some point in the past. could be a different problem. but honestly its time to stop letting paypal even look at anyone's money, theyre not good at handling it.

Sinopa Publishing LLC (@LlSinopa) reported@Grummz I've had to mail certified checks for some artists this year due to PayPal or other service providers shutting down their accounts. They still work

『 Ukiyo 』 🫧⭐️💧 (@UFOkiyo) reported@JunHakase I’ve sadly heard a lot of PayPal accounts for people in those countries are mysteriously being shut down or suspended recently.. and personally, I kind of don’t think it’s a coincidence. It seems to stop them from getting international clients.

Bryan Baugh (@BryanBaugh) reported@Grummz Sorry if I’m asking dumb questions but I’m just now seeing this. Are you sure this is about art commissions or someone who tried to sell something illegal? Also I am confused, how does PayPal even know or keep track of what everyone is buying or selling? My customers usually inquire about my services via email or order items direct from my website store. Then just send payment via PayPal. Most of em don’t even bother to include a note to remind me what it’s for. I just keep track on my end. PayPal would have to be really invested in chasing down what every payment is for and I’m just one guy. Feels like there must be some major puzzle pieces missing from this story.🤔

Kolbász Kosher (@GlitchValkyrie) reportedI have done thorough research and the internet is in decline. It became enshittified by Amazon, Shopify, Spotify, Meta, X, Google, Apple, Play Store, Microsoft, Enter Your Address and Pay Subscriptions, Netflix, KYC, Login with Google, PayPal, Domain Name Price Hikes, Hosting Price Hikes, and it will get worse. They will come for your VPN, they will ask for your government ID, you will login to the above mentioned enshittified services with your government digital ID app, and you will pay your subscriptions in perpetuity. But there is hope. It is called Tor. Onion addresses. The scary stuff they warned you about. That's where John Galt is. You don't need to subscribe, no KYC, no logging in with Google, just perfection. The people who will flock there are the builders, the rebels, the kind of people that brought the original internet to life. And this new sovereign realm will run laps around the old internet. Businesses that are purely digital, no taxes or VAT, no need to form a corporation, just exchange of the highest quality goods and services, paid for using bitcoin or monero, between parties that are no more and no less than cryptographically unique entities. This is where we are headed. Don't despair as the sun sets on the old internet; something better is rising on the horizon and it will set you free.

lesbes (@Lesleybaas9) reported@Leo_El_Random Only problem being I got card trouble... which I have been able to bypass by putting money on paypal wallet and pay that way 😓

ARTFONPRO (artfonpro.bsky.social) (@ArtFon1987) reported@LineGutter @Grummz If you're obviously putting "lewd porno drawing lol" or anything like that in the invoice, you're asking for trouble. But I can't help but wonder to what extent PayPal would ban artists from receiving commission money, even if they don't work on lewd stuff or keep it hush-hush.

🦋Leoneo🦋 (@Leoneo137) reported@neno60123944757 @NoriSayuri Kofi is still fine but i suggest avoid connecting using paypal for now and use stripe instead. or send the cash prizes directly to her paypal, don't go through kofi. The problem I've been seeing people got were if they receiving money to their paypal through kofi

Kinamuranyan (@Kinamuranyan1) reported@ChibiReviews If PayPal can't list the specific law that was broken then the DOJ and SEC should go after them with the full might of the federal government.
