  @nicoleakellz Thank you for clarifying that we may use any free authenticator and that DeviantArt receives no financial benefit or referral compensation from any particular service. The issue, however, is that the withdrawal process does not make that clear. Previously, withdrawing earnings simply required confirming the PayPal email address. Now, the process requires two-step authentication. When we scan the QR code provided during the DeviantArt withdrawal process, it takes us directly to the App Store page for a specific authenticator application. After installing or opening that application, we are immediately presented with a paid subscription screen offering a weekly plan for $7.99 or an annual package. Because DeviantArt’s QR code directs users to that specific App Store listing, it strongly implies that this is the authenticator application users are expected—or required—to use. Nothing in the process clearly explains that the linked application is only one option, that its paid subscription is unnecessary, or that users may instead scan the code with another free authenticator application. From the user’s perspective, this makes it appear that paying for the linked application is a required step before we can withdraw our DeviantArt earnings. Why does the QR code direct users to a specific paid application rather than simply displaying the authentication setup code for use with any compatible authenticator? Is there an option within the withdrawal process to select a different authenticator, and if so, why is that option not clearly displayed? DeviantArt should provide a clear, step-by-step video or illustrated guide showing users exactly how to: Select and install a genuinely free authenticator application. Scan or manually enter the DeviantArt authentication code using that application. Complete the two-step authentication setup. Verify PayPal and successfully withdraw their earnings. Avoid accidentally purchasing an unnecessary subscription from the application linked through the withdrawal process. The previous withdrawal process worked without this additional confusion. While we understand the need for stronger account security, the current process is hindering access to earned funds rather than helping users withdraw them securely. An official tutorial—and clearer language directly on the withdrawal page—would prevent users from being misled into believing that they must purchase a third-party subscription to access money they have already earned.

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal Paypal goin down hill...they have a policy if you use PayPal money to spread what they say is misinformation, you get fined like 2k a month or something...so if u used PayPal to buy a billboard that said the 2020 election was stolen, you would be fined.

  @SarahisCensored @JinxedRealityX She has a PayPal pool up now and PayPal won’t let me report it, and when I try and escalate their “Report Pool” button not working, their AI bot won’t let me go farther.

  @vexmlk @PayPal have everyone who has ever given you money issue a chargeback to paypal. Tell them to say that their funds have been withheld and are being prevented from reaching their intended destination, and most banks/cards will allow it.

  @atmosphere1119 @iKaito_1 @Credit1493 It is, ive done it for like 2 months and have had no problems, I use PayPal so you have to manually change it back to jpy, pay, then go back to the original page, click the button saying the purchase has been made, and it'll immediately be in your account

  @ZandoraVT But this is purely Paypal which has always been an issue for many artists. If someone was planning to chargeback they will either u commission it on vgen or Kofi or carrd or any other platform. I don’t trust Paypal for that reason

  @JustinD8787 @bluesinthe93266 You're not understanding this once again. You don't use your personal PayPal account. You use a gift card you buy through PayPal. Here's the step by step process: 1. Purchase the Code: Visit the official PayPal Digital Gift Cards CA marketplace. 2. Select the Store: Choose either the Apple Gift Card or the Google Play gift code matching your phone. 3. Pay & Redeem: Check out securely using your PayPal balance. You will receive a redemption code via email. 4. Load the Balance: Redeem the code in your mobile App Store or Google Play Store to clear a prepaid wallet balance. 5. Subscribe on X: Open the X app and complete your upgrade using your stored app store balance. This method provides complete anonymity. And the point remains that you don't have to link your personal credit card or PayPal account - you're just not creative enough to get around it. That's a you problem.

  @LycanWitchcraft @LibertyValkyrie If the real founders were willing to sell what’s the problem with that? He founded Zip2 (sold to Compaq for $307 million in 1999) and PayPal (originally X•com, acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002) I don’t see him taking credits for them now.. that’s how life works..

  What is going on here @PayPal ? CodeOfVets has been doing great work for ages! What on earth is the problem here? Surely you can sort it out - if not, a lot of needy people will be impacted!!
