  Before I respond to any DM I just want to let my commission clients know my PayPal account just got permanently deactivated for reasons I still don't know. I will try to fix this asap but I will probably not be able to receive payments anytime soon 💔

  PayPal has turned into a nasty place to do business with. You can’t talk to a person, the accounts are confusing to understand, a robot can’t help with anything. I’m not a stupid person. Does anyone else have problems with PayPal?

  @pnkplasticfangs cool, so what about giving people a damn other option to "accept donations" since we can't use paypal, bcs that's the whole issue, how are me or any other artist getting money from all over the world when there is like 1 big app that does that?

  issue are always the one to bring this statement down. It kinda comes of as priviliged considering some people's actually genuine livelihoods rely on that money in paypal, it's just that it either gets flagged before people can even move it to their banks / local e-commerce apps

  @fandom_david I am tired of modern life for another reason. Every product needs a PhD just to be able to use it. It is impossible to turn on the TV at a friend's place. On a Tesla, you don't know how to open the glove compartment or turn on the wipers, or blow the air in your face. Netflix keeps telling me that this device - my TV- is not authorized. I have to go through hoops to get it reinstalled. One time I had to call customer support. Fortunately Netflix still has real human beings who are helpful. There is no way to reach a real person on X. I have wasted several thousand dollars to boost my posts but it just ate my money. The XAI that monitors my posts found something wrong with my post, I don't know what. When I sent a DM to Ad services, it never responds. I have sent the complain a dozen times. The XAI reads not only the posts but also the DMs. When XAI doesn't understand a post, it simply ignores it. There is no way on X to reach a real human being. If XAI is cheating me, it is the cost of living with modern AI technology. The ring in my wife's phone becomes almost inaudible. She sets it up to full volume but it keeps coming back to lowest volume. So, she asked me to find out the problem. I haven't been able to solve the problem. I tried to de-install an App, and it would keep on reinstalling it. On PayPal, I cannot turn off notifications of parcels from USPS. In an Airbnb I could not turn on the A/C. It had so many things in the menu. It would keep going back and forth in the menu but not show me the temperature controls. Even powering on and off did not work. In another Airbnb in New Zealand, I could not use the oven because I could not set the temperature. It kept turning off. In a hotel I could not set the time on the alarm clock. The list is limitless. And I am not a computer illeraterate person. You might think I am a dumb person. I am the inventor of Ethernet switch which is widely used in AI data centers, My company I founded turned an investment of $25 million into $10 billion. I have a dozen patents. If I am having so much problem with modern technology, I can imagine how much problem others might be facing.

  Not only is this against VGens TOS, but I'm amazed how many people don't realise that illegitimate charge backs on paypal are legitimately and fraud that can get you in serious legal trouble ;o;

  @tacooghost Elon started PayPal back in the day. I had no problem giving him my social security number then. I am not sure if I will do X money or not. Just saying I am okay with giving my social if I do.

  Just a heads up, had a few messages off of people. Looks like that Matt Forth may be at it. Asking to get bets on and or PayPal loans whilst awaiting compensation. Avoid like the plague. Thought he was a sound lad who had his issues but no excuses.

  @inkfycreates Yeah, and everyone else Warns and Helps its User to prevent any issue. PayPal is the only one that doesnt care, because at the end they can claim the money for "Not following/knowing the Rules".

  @fsonic3 In addition to legal issues, PayPal doesn't assist its users, yet supposedly demands compliance. The blocking is actually due to "traffic," or rather, bank transactions that the AI ​​flags as false positives for fraud, leading to account blocks

  @zombaebby I've been using PayPal for years, at first I was just a private user until I was earning more and more than just a small side hassle. (Think like more than €2000pm) and then just swapped to a buisness account. Not had any issues since. I dont know where people have these issues.

  Understandable? Sure. However: wishing your governemnt would do anything to control PayPal when PayPal itself as being a huge issue with anything NSFW recently even ******* the whole itchio site for example? Right now you're being held hostage and your choice is accept or move.

  @Elidyss Taxes and business license are separate things. You can file taxes as a freelance professional operating under your own name legally without a license. Problem is will PayPal accept your documentation & if you’re in your first year what do you do if you won’t get that until 2027

  @bubblegum711971 Eitherway, I'd be careful I've never had issues using PayPal, but then I'm very careful and paranoid about this sort of thing :V

  @fsonic3 Dude 500$ Is it too much money? Clearly, the problem isn't the taxes, it's the power imbalance behind it. PayPal is a payment gateway; for foreigners like those in Latin America or Asia, it can be a way to diversify savings due to currency volatility, financial security, etc.

  @RuV_2nd from my research, it looks like this issue can only happen if you have too much money in your PayPal account. so make sure to transfer to your bank account regularly!

  @Zmeinir Exactly and correct. I've used paypal for ages now and I never got an issue, and I tried my best to adapt to it over the years. I have no idea how people manage to ban their accounts and then complain paypal is the problem and not the way they're using it.

  @gy_sup @kianamosser Yeah I think so too, personally I haven’t had any issue using a PayPal business account as an individual for earning like $100 here and there. But it seems like a lot of the people getting their accounts shut down are making a lot more and it gets flagged as “suspicious” 😔

  Now that I posted that edited screenshot. business owners with permits, artists who use PayPal, and people with over 20k in their PayPal balances have started sharing that they've experienced the same thing. This proves that this was never just a "tax fraud" issue.

  @explosiveorenji Dang. I use PayPal, I can only hope they dont shut me down, but at least I only really use it as a go-between
