    A sudden payment method change from PayPal to GIMI created unnecessary confusion for many creators facing verification and payout issues. Transparency is important. #YapperScam #Creators

    no matter there is no sfw, still problems to some artists via paypal. I have no clue so far, but just in case I can get the same cases .

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

    @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.

    @Z_XSophie He made $180 million selling paypal, and then immediately went onto spending a $100 million on space X. Of course, you cannot have an average mindset and reach this position in life. But most people would decide to retire and relax for the rest of their lives but he pushed on. Imagine seeing all your capital come crashing down with 3 rocket failures and almost being bankrupt but due to sheer belief and will the the 4rth rocket succeed and Nasa Gives you a $1.6 Billion dollar Commercial resupply service contract and it saves the day? Space X didn't have any profit. But He believed in it , which is why he succeeded. Now we get to see his rockets land back by themselves. He is a legend and he will be in every history book there is.

    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/

    @NeverDive10 @JohnSmi04183166 @GamerFaceGaming Lol, my thought on it is; hopefully he pays using his PayPal account and it gets shut down for a few days while he works it out.

    @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.

    @cosmica_candy i'm pretty sure paypal only does this if you do comms via a personal account and not a business one if you swtich it over to business there shouldn't be any problem but if you're getting a lot of money towards your personal then yeah it looks sketchy as hell

    Day 0 of public BeginThings revenue tracking. Today I shipped PayPal checkout on every service card. ₹999 / $12 Brand Clarity Audit ₹4,999 / $60 Conversion Fix Sprint ₹15,000 / $180 Brand + Funnel Setup LinkedIn comment → site → 3 clicks → paid audit. Self-serve. Day 0 revenue: ₹0. Day 0 buyers: 0. Kill date for this experiment if no paying customer by July 1. Not dropping the link in this tweet. If you can find the site from my bio, you are the kind of buyer I am building for.

    PayPal needs to be investigated by the Feds for blocking the sale of legal goods. I want PayPal broken on the wheel, reduced to simply processing payments and not looking at the content of those sales.

    @Grummz If you're a freelancer,suggest you don't link your PayPal acc to a website. That works for me since i still haven't got this issue yet.

    @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.🤔

  • PlacesUnkn8298
    Unknown places (@PlacesUnkn8298) reported

    Honestly, I wouldn't bring this up if it didn't affect me, but since I'm an artist who uses PayPal all the time, I recommend that you don't mention the fee at all and just write “Art Commission” on the payment. That should be enough, and there shouldn't be a problem.

    @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.

    @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

    @AskPayPal My fully verified US LLC account (Ref: PP-L-835645498456) was permanently banned immediately after submitting 100% legitimate IRS & State documents. Chat agents confirmed the docs were perfect. This automated ban is unacceptable. Fix this immediately.

    ☆Izuru Planetes☆ (@CreatorOfHeroia) reported

    @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.

    @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

    Regarding the c0mms... I still haven't resolved the problem... I need to contact PayPal, but I admit I don't think it will lead to good news... so I'm a bit short on ideas. I always kept track of those who wanted to do it, I haven't forgotten you... 9/11

    @PayPal your support and website are absolutely trash right now. I've been a an avid supporter of PayPal and regularly encourage people to take advantage of PayPal credit, but I will have to stop doing that because I cannot get any support for my issue. FIX THIS NOW.
