  @COTM_2 I believe the big issue is how pricey they are, even after shipping & handling. If there was a Pay in 4 option when selecting the PayPal option, I don't think that would be much of a problem anymore.

  Hi, I hate to do this, but my cat is currently passing away. Because it’s memorial Day weekend, we can’t take him to be put down until Tuesday. Unfortunately, it’s not looking like he will make it by then. I run a small shop and I have a ko-fi. I also have a PayPal. Please share.

  @Joytoy_official @PayPal When your customer service blames to issue on "latency", and the person you are talking to knows MORE about Latency than your rep. Don't lie to me and think your getting away with it.

  This 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.

  @wersman2 @yinerajto @otjareniy2 Apparently, PayPal has begun cracking down on nsfw transactions as well. That might have contributed to the suspension if that is the main way Patreon pays creatots.

  @Warriorr_lol Because PayPal charge transactions when money is sent for business inquiries. If you do to mutual friend they don't charge but they also don't care about issues if you have.

  @Azorukonn Issue is, PayPal is ran by Visa, which can (and have) ban people from using their services, effectively blacklisting them from any purchase unless with cash...

  Renowned philanthropist, Dan Wema, is in tears after PayPal banned his account containing over KSh 270,000 earned last month. Many are wondering why the popular apostle didn’t link his Facebook monetization directly to his bank account. The issue, however, is not that simple. When creators are first approved for monetization, Facebook often doesn’t allow them to edit the name on the payout tab. Payments are only released when the names on the account strictly match the registered details .Is there a way to resolve this?Dan Wema was expected to receive his highest payout from Facebook next month, thanks to the massive viewership his recent high-profile case involving Samuel has attracted in 2026. He reportedly earns up to $4,000 per month from the platform at times.

  I have used Payoneer for some tests, but it requires more information than PayPal does for money transactions between users. That´s one of my issues with these platforms.

  Samuel M (@capitalsyst) reported 52 minutes ago

  PayPal just extended PYUSD to Uganda and Malawi. Uganda and Malawi are harder delivery problems than Nigeria. Not easier. Uganda runs primarily on MTN MoMo and Airtel Money trust account structures with thinner liquidity depth. Malawi's financial infrastructure is shallower still. PYUSD provides faster settlement on the transmission leg in both markets. The off-ramp licensing, local banking integration, and trust account relationships required to deliver UGX and MWK reliably are the infrastructure that determines whether faster settlement means anything to the recipient. In thin-liquidity markets, the delivery leg problem does not compress because the sending leg improved.
