  @Ubiquitous_Lee @Dengekichan Thats not true AT ALL. Paypal has always given issue eith anything "adult." People have been talking about it for years. But the WORST is Mastercard. They own the gateways for processing card transactions. Theyre literally the reason you cant say a bunch of WORDS on adult sites. You cant use the word "hypnotic" for example, in ANY context

  $PYPL jokes aside from my recent tweets, sentiment is flushed out in this stock. I don’t see retail bull posting it anymore. Only a handful of accounts. Lots of “you should sell PayPal” suggestions. Feeling impatient, but I feel doubling down here is the right decision.

  Hawa vijana mnaita smart boys ndio wameharibu market. The guys wenye huibia wazungu pesa halafu wanatumia PayPal and Binance. Now those people think that all of us Africans tuko na hiyo tabia. These boys calling themselves forex traders wameharibu sana. Wanaiba from foreign bank accounts and wire the money through PayPal and Binance. Those platforms saa hii hazipendi nywele ngumu. The moment they see you receiving alot of money, they limit your account and later ban it completely even if it's genuine. Some of us started using PayPal 18 years ago ,it didn't have any issues until around 2022 when the so called forex traders started coming out. Then PayPal started closing accounts for everyone.

  @Noblelife2134 He grew up in a violent place that probably predisposed him to become ruthless. The pattern was always there. In the early days of paypal he lied about servers (empty racks), early das of Tesla he lied about the roadster (deliver roadsters with a broken gearbox), ...(the pattern never ended)

  With all the PayPal things going on and no one actually know what happen other than “adult art” and what to actually do to prevent flags, I want to say none of us are safe until we find the actual problem to the sfw artist being limited too. I’m not banned yet but I may be next.

  @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.

  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.

  @tomosman $GITBANK ? Because of they also working on Github users for if any user has error and solve by other person and give bounty then need to go centralized or paypal.. so Gitbank is building wallet in github so the escrow will send automatically when task complete...

  @AskPayPal Wherever I go in ur stupid website it tells me to sign in to contact you. How weird there's no live chat in ur website? Even in the FAQ it says login to ur account and don't forget to change ur number from there, do u believe that! If I can login to my account I won't be asking!!

  @fluffemms He does but we have to force him. Also anything is good enough. I would do paypal if thats no problem. Of course I urge to get the money once the drawing is done to ensure you feel at peace

  Sometimes when I see stuff like paypal clamping down on NSFW content I feel apathetic because when I saw people celebrating the arrest of that one Vtuber I became a burn it all down so when we hopefully build it back up we're all on the same page about artistic expression

  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.

  @KieranPontiki @RoflrawrVT Paypal sucks ****, worst payment processor that steals millions by locking accounts for any and no reason. The only reason people are stuck with this **** to this day is cause alternatives get shut down, bought or people refuse literally ANY other method except paypal.

  He tried to request a refund from PayPal for all the products I've already sold to him, including personalized items, but PayPal refused, so he reported my account to get it taken down. He's a BASTARD. DO NOT SELL TO HIM OR AT LEAST CHARGE THAT PIECE OF **** A LOT

  I literally just managed to finally open a new paypal account last week. And was excited to have it as an available payment method for comms when I reopen.. This is what locked my account for multiple years so unfortunately, I will not be using it if this is still an ongoing problem. I don't even know how I got flagged last time as I only listed invoices as "digital commission" or "art commission". Some things are just out of my hands, sorry to say :(

  @ChiePlushwork I remember a story of a guy who wrote something like nuclear material on a bank transfer. Bank shut it down and investigated. This is an extreme case though, but the things people get limited or banned for on PayPal aren't even illegal things. We'll see how and who may abuse this
