  Desperse (@DesperseApp) reported 2 minutes ago

  @rovik90s @Goku53npai If you’re a creator running into issues with PayPal, Desperse might be worth trying. It’s a platform for artists to post, share, and sell work as NFTs. Payments go directly to your wallet in SOL or USDC. You’ll just need a way to offramp, usually something like Coinbase.

  @TerraDraca @Grummz Because arseholes on the internet will report you and PayPal wont care enough to actually check manually. Thats what started this whole thing a while ago. PayPal received shedloads of complaints about morally grey content and decided to shut it down rather than deal with it

  @AskPayPal You never seem to understand how frustrating and time consuming this is. There is no account access issues tab , and resolution center asks for mobile code, which I do not have access to. Can you really be of any help? I have been reaching on X with a weak hope that you can solve this fraudulent suspicious thing.

  I hope you can help me 🙏 think of another payment method because my PayPal got broken again. I honestly don’t know why PayPal is so sensitive — I heard a lot of other people have experienced this too.

  @ColesTrades It’s close to game over status. I really hope it not going to be broken for years like PayPal and others

  In any case, for now, if you want a commission, it will be through Kofi. This whole PayPal problem has scared me a bit. Btw I have 4 slots available for commission.

  I always issue Paypal invoices to clients and never had any problems, this way you can control the invoice content you send out (SFW names and descriptions)✨

  Andrea Ferrara (@Divelto) reported 14 minutes ago

  @thatsknotme PayPal has begun issuing permanent account restrictions to artists accepting payments for obscene or adult-themed commissions, citing policy violations and unusual activity. This will be a problem for me when I want to take any of your content.

  @Sixth_liu Yeah I did something like this recently, had no idea PayPal was cracking down on it, oops

  Garde (@Gardegu_) reported 26 minutes ago

  So should i stop using paypal or why am i seeing lots of people having problems with it? Anyone knows about it?

  Vin 🐼🐯🐾🇺🇲 (@PandaGearhead) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Sixth_liu Who adds a note anyway??? Adding one is just asking for trouble with a platform like PayPal.

  @TerraDraca @Grummz I've been using PayPal for 6 years and I've NEVER put "lewd" on an invoice, I only put "Digital Service" and that's how it should be to avoid problems..

  NEOAethyr (@konigssohne) reported 32 minutes ago

  @BittieBot125 @eevblog The issue with paypal, there's 2 options, email or sms. And either one may or may not work on a given day. I'm not trying to be hyperbole, I've had it happen in the last half hour of bidding, twice. As for sms spoofing, I don't have my cousin around so I should be ok lol.

  @Grummz @PayPal should get shut down by the governments for acting as a unelected governing force.

  Cashapp doesn’t have the same problems paypal has right? Because that one person getting banned over nsfw comms may carry over to sfw comms, I might have to change things up when I start them again

  ☆Izuru Planetes☆ (@CreatorOfHeroia) reported 37 minutes ago

  @HimeMysti Maybe some idiot said it in the message section when they paid them. Like dude how stupid is that! You should either say nothing or be generic like “thank you for the arts.” You don’t gave to be specific cause that’s asking for trouble. PayPal would act upon anything.

  Lightsyde (@Lightsyde) reported 39 minutes ago

  @changethrutag @Grummz @grok The problem is probably that the artist in question doesn't have a realistic way of making paypal accoutable for their actions.

  @FredMartinezST @nepentia @CharuSan83 Technology? Hilarious what’s the miracle tech that xrp provides? Zelle , PayPal , WesterUnion send money more efficiently trusted by everyone and no one questions it … xrp ? Not so much … downtrending hard since Jan 2018 and nothing can stop it going down … joke is on you all

  Phishing scams keep getting better. Got one today as a purchase receipt from @Shopify and their @shop app on my Android device. $500 iTunes Giftcard saying its being paid through Paypal. Suggests in the receipt if you have a problem to call Paypal and provides a scam ph#. 1/

  I’ve never used invoices the entirety of my history with PayPal and I’ve never had issues with it,,,some people were saying this was caused by sending invoices so I just wanted to share my two cents Send your PayPal link to someone and have them pay like that + friends and family

  Inky - Commissions Open (@inkusumi) reported 43 minutes ago

  @EezySeven I don't follow grummz however PayPal has had a history of this and has done this to me prior. PayPal has had a strict policy against nsfw for years so in a sense he's no wrong they've been shutting down commission work.

  @Zsibo1 No, my buy me coffee got flagged for being suspicious last year. I only have PayPal lol I have to use a broken phone and cannot even get my lens replaced… all my resources are going to my units, I am fed up with having to buy prizes just so people donate.

  @seyba89357 @CNN Ha! Electric cars did not work. He made them work. Banking sucked, he fixed it with Paypal. He fixed space travel, made it way cheaper. NASA was pathetic and could barely do anything. He fixed the internet, you can get cell service if you are lost in the middle of the ocean now because of Starlink. He will some day fix traffic with self driving cars. Which Tesla made a reality. He also recognized NVIDIA's tech that they had but did not know what to do with, he knew it would make AI possible so he introduced them to Sam Altman. He may have created AI with his insight.

  @Grummz someone should end this paypal monopoly so that their ego would shut down...like they literally banned my 2 accounts too one is for taking commission and other is for ban envasion for creating new account

  Fizzy’s Robotics (@FizzyRobotics) reported 58 minutes ago

  Alright time to talk about the actual problem..the internet is “baby-proofing” everything, IDS OR PHOTOS JUST TO TALK IN ROBLOX, removing nsfw in countries, removing nsfw in PayPal fully, because parents don’t monitor their children, they go on the internet-

  @autopilotgod Even if it was, it's not illegal in a way that someone can get arrested over. Someone would need to sue PayPal and/or major payment processors over blocking legal transactions to have a real effect. Which would probably take years because our judicial system is broken.

  @AskPayPal Hi, I no longer have access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive the SMS verification code. I still have access to my email and know my password. Could you help me remove the old number or update my login verification method?
