  @higgyboson @LiziSaniGari I had a problem with numerous calls from a belgian mobile number purporting to be from paypal fortunately all they seemed to know was that i had an account. The easier ones are the scams telling you you haven't paid your toll i reply to them with some very bad language

  @HieuHere349 I'm sorry I've never had this problem. I just filled out the information and I used paypal as a payout. My personal FB profile also matches my name too. I have heard people outside of the US having similar issues I think. PIB has a whatsapp group that may be useful for you. There is a group called "Facebook admin, payout, account issues". Others who have had similar issues may be able to help

  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

  @SaltySnickerUwU @inkfycreates @jeiarts_ You need to kind of imagine PayPal Friends & Family as something only meant for actual private transfers. If you keep doing commissions and PayPal keeps seeing the same emails and contacts repeatedly, they may investigate and realize that you are not selling privately, but commercially. They track things back and will, in some cases, ask for proper proof about what happened in the transaction and so on. If you want to do it the right way, make a business account and send invoices. They do not cost money, your customers can pay via card, bank, and PayPal, and you are also safer in terms of chargebacks and similar issues.

  @eduardgorte_ @SirBadOpinions The problem isn't that artists don't want to accept crypto, the problem is that almost no client would be willing to pay with them. Things like PayPal only have power because it's the only thing most clients have to pay with.

  @Dengekichan Paypal should server down and get its admins replaced honestly.

  @AShipcore We also want to help but the thing is, there is not a source or mediator for the transfer of money. As for me, I tried using PayPal or Wise but due to some documentation error can't form an account. And Indian UPI system is not capable for intl transfer as it is region based +

  @AltSamCat For some reason a lot of artists are... using their usernames on PayPal 😭 So they just track down the artist

  @VTuberComics Well apparently the person who originally the post was about had a ID Verification error on Paypal so it was made a bigger issue than it was about NSFW. So people made it more of a big deal than it was...because it was REALLY about ID Verification error than being an NSFW artist.

  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.

  Hey @Spotify! How come my payment deducted from PayPal as usual but my mom (on my family plan) got a payment error pop-up? How do I get you to fix this?

  @nvmminyg Hey Bau! We’re currently experiencing an issue with PayPal, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We're already working on resolving the issue, and we expect to have everything sorted out by Monday monday!

  @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.

  I 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) !

  @Larrington03 Hm. No problem on our end. Maybe try clearing your cache and try again. You tried Apple Pay/PayPal and they didn’t work?

  ExtraKrispyKari (@karikarisuru) reported 34 minutes ago

  This is really concerning to me. While I don't consider myself to be an adult content creator, I've had problems with PayPal in the past. It's only going to be a matter of time before Payment Processors decide what they can just ban on a whim unless we voice our concerns.

  @Landarting Given recent events, I would have thought it would have been my PayPal or Gmail account that was shut down first. But still, it's crazy how people can be so quick to condemn NSFW content but not violence.

  @AlimamyBan69781 @Adikastakes Those are physical “optional” products you’re talking about. The product I’m talking about are problem-solving, “necessary products”. Do you know what eBay is worth, before they could acquire PayPal (payment product) for $1.5b? 📌 The word “product” is vast… not limited to Tesla and designer handbags (necessary but optional items). 📌 Google types of products with examples… you’ll get my point.

  @gothiclysweet PayPal is also just cracking down "Adult" stuff across the board - Even NSFW artists are getting kicked and can't take commissions because of it

  @MohammedMa58839 Hi. I repost you sometimes. I will find another post to repost, the pinned post contains errors for me. I can not donate to you on what you have linked. Do you have PayPal?

  Also a heads up, if you’re want to commission me and PayPal is the only option, just send the money and don’t write anything down when you send the payment.
