Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
DAX (@daxsuartsu) reportedWhile this can be due to censorship, PayPal can also shut down your account if you use personal PayPal for business. Depending on your local regulations, if you’re an artist taking commission, you NEED a business account. Not just for your own privacy. I understand that it may cost you a fee to be registered as business to your local authorities but if you are serious about doing commissions, it is a worthwhile investment. It helps prevent yourself getting into legal (and tax) trouble as well. — of course, PayPal is also wonky and can just banned you for undisclosed reasons as well, so yeah…

Akira (@Akira_Foxo) reportedIts crazy watching your artists and artist friends get their PayPal accounts suspended Like I looked up and down my pay stub and for the life of me i cant find where visa mastercard and paypal worked any of my 40 hour work week
-
Roly Poly Games (@RolPolyGames) reportedI am seeing people freaking out about paypal account bans. As a commissioner of much artwork 3D and 2D for my game development I want to give some advice: Keep your details simple. Don't use terms that could be taken in a NSFW manner. Now mine isn't NSFW, but keep it simple "Character custom 2D art piece ." "3D model fully rigged female character." They aren't physically seeing your art they just see what the payment is for. The less they know the less they can find a problem with.

Quincy Bell (@cryforquincy) reportedHe 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
-
Yano (@WasilczukJan) reported@FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil Because these + paypal have monopoly over the market. If there was 1000000 reliable replacements then that would not be an issue. Besides their job is to process the payment and not deny you if something is completly legal because at this point they are necessary service.
-
Ashutosh Tiwari (@beashutiwari) reportedThe AI layoff wave isn’t slowing down. Oracle: up to 30K Intel: ~24K Amazon: ~30K Dell: ~12.5K Accenture: ~11K Meta: ~8K Cisco, PayPal, Block, Coinbase, Kraken… All citing “AI restructuring.” The real question: are you ready for future?
-
Deweeezzyyy (@Dwarf_Coconut) reportedSomething must be down. My PayPal card wouldn’t let me withdrawal cash and my YouTube Music isn’t working properly
-
Just an old Pyro (@pyro411) reported@emiihunn_ One of the biggest issues is since Paypal is a global payment processor that also has to deal with T&C of Visa/Mastercard/Discover/etc, and some laws are being enforced in areas outside of the law's creation. A big one I saw people banned for is art of their own body's shape.
-
Otis (@VirusZeke) reportedFor people who support censorship and thinking only bad terrible icky fiction would be the only target, congratulations. Look at what you've done. When my gut feeling says I should abandon PayPal months ago, I never knew this was it.
-
Open3DLab / SmutBase (@Smutbase1) reportedIf PayPal gets an inkling of you using their platform for 18+ work, they will shut you down, and you lose access to any funds left in your account. This has happened since forever, and is not a new policy change. Enforcement always comes in waves.
-
サラ (C6 Hu Tao Main) 🔥🏳️🌈☽◯☾ (@AyakaMain5000) reported@DMAYaichi While PayPal is definitely a problem, I imagine people were also dumb enough to send notes with their payments like "HEY THANKS FOR THE LEWDS!" Don't do that, people.

Thompson1651 (@Coreyblake1990) reportedI'm going to be off stream at least until June 1st. I'm still trying to pay off my PayPal balance. So far I have put almost $25 into PayPal with surveys. I want to get my bill down as much as possible before I get my check. I'm going to get my account paid for next month and then decide if I want to use my account for a Xbox or or wait for the GTA 6 collectors edition. Once again if you feel you'd like to help with my PayPal balance I'd greatly appreciate it. My account was locked because I wasn't able to pay my bill when I was in the hospital. I just got into my account and have been trying to get the bill paid for. My venmo information is updated if you'd like to help. I thank you for considering and I plan to stream some big gaming titles such as 007 First Light, Fable, GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 when I get a digital Series X.

Rumeiria 🌸 Fae Dragon (@Rumeiria) reportedI feel so bad seeing multiple cases of artists having issues with paypal. Just as a tip for anyone on vgen, you are able to enable vgen payments without requiring a stripe account (I believe only your country needs to be stripe approved) !
-
𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖐𝖞𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖆𝖈𝖎𝖉 ♡ (@valkyrieacid) reported@Pirat_Nation Ik it's not ideal but just don't use PayPal for anything. It's a terrible service known for severe malpractice. Invoice to bank account still remains the most secure until something new comes along offering instant transfers as a competitor.
-
MinhYoi 🍚 (@__MinhYoi) reported@UFOkiyo My filo friend is having the same problem. Sent them money for comms and they got restricted 🥲 Everyone else I know (including myself) don't seem to have a problem with paypal atm
-
miki (@mikispanidorium) reported@paddysaidingbar @fantia_jp i do believe that is a part of the issue"one of the factors" among other things that they just dont say. and that is even after fantia removed visa/mastercard/paypal from the equasion years prior to this. they are doing the opposite of what they should be doin
-
Jasmine (@Jasmine_vart) reportedLater, they unblocked me, apologized, asked me to delete my post, and sent the payment again. But then a refund issue was created, and I had to refund the payment. I gave them an alternative PayPal account, but they blocked me once again and disappeared after scamming me again.
-
Who is shappy? (@shepherddariel) reported@kutabare43 I might be able to help with that I do pfp/art stuff and I’d be down to make something for your Twitch account. Nitro or PayPal both work for me feel free too hit me okayy
-
ARTFONPRO (artfonpro.bsky.social) (@ArtFon1987) reported@LineGutter @Grummz If you're obviously putting "lewd porno drawing lol" or anything like that in the invoice, you're asking for trouble. But I can't help but wonder to what extent PayPal would ban artists from receiving commission money, even if they don't work on lewd stuff or keep it hush-hush.
-
ck (@CupKicking) reportedPayPal seen me get sum motion and they shut my **** down mid cook out drive thru
-
Organic Potato Ⓥ 4.0 (@vorganicpotato2) reported@HexeyDuh Also ppl need to start using Wise ngl PayPal makes up the currency exchange rates to charge you a lot for no reason 😭 and is slow af and has literally no support at all but wise is the exact opposite, super transparent and cheap fees and great support just saying
-
Charles12 (@Charles12_13) reported@FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil "You could just use another service" you, in fact, cannot. When VISA, Mastercard, Stripe and PayPal all wanna shut down something because they’re too puritans, what other options do you have?
-
faris (@iiiuzee) reported@AskPayPal Hello. I still have access to my PayPal account email and password, and I also know the amount of money موجود in the account, but I lost access to the old phone number used for verification. I can no longer receive the login code. Please help me. I can't log in to my account
-
Sammy (@SamuelB00934674) reported@Sugar_Pops_ PayPal is the issue for some of us
-
Loading_arts (@The_TwistedFang) reported@Monster_kinds yeah no problem! I get it either way unable to get it either way cause don't have PayPal and updating cards so anyways thank you for the opportunity and I hope that you have a great time with the smol dreams
-
NUBS 🌕🐀/☢️🎰 || YES MAN KISSER (@noobstersubs) reported@falloutyuh Well tbh that’s mostly what I’ve been aware of It also might be the fact PayPal is cracking down on these types of stuff and shutting down accounts for it cause of payment processors not liking anything
-
Terror (@terrorrftw) reported@ofxc1ox paypal seems to be causing problems, i paid using the Eximbay option and it worked.
-
levi #levi (comm levi 3/5) (@risottofan7) reportedi have cashapp for US comms but for international comms is there something better than kofi/paypal? i’ve heard about too many issues with PP so i’d like to move away from it (and kofi since it works through it) 😭
-
DougieDolla$ 🇺🇸 (@dhurstell) reported@AustinsStocks Is this a good company with a broken stock, or is it PayPal 2.0?
-
cancer😎🤓 (@ViraRam53966287) reported@Fayemilylatam_ If you are truly a fan of Faye, answer this: why are you using a Paypal account of a Yobie who has clearly said bad things about Faye? Actually, we have no problem with CPF. As long as they support both equally and never badmouth or criticize Faye.
