-
Rinera | Witch Vtuber~☆ (@RineraVT) reportedJust switched to stream elements, yet it might go down in a few days. Now I need to find an alternative... Doable. Paypal and Stripe being weirdoes again and banning people left and right. Now I need to find an alternative... Impossible.

Twanderlust Lumpkin (@SatansLilSnack) reportedWhy is Walmart and Instacart trying to shove PayPal down my throat

GroypusMaximus (@GroypusMaximus7) reported@AFpost Today I had a Chinese guy send me broken equipment and won’t pay me back, so I called PayPal and had to speak to a jeet for 30 min, then I had a customer call me who only spoke Spanish. (100% real) what country is this again?
-
Vaishnavi (@Vaishnavi145991) reported@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 +

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.

ً (@mieyokism) reported@theRobbyXO hii, i used eximbay rather than paypal (there seems to be a glitch with it), you don’t need to sign up for an account, just put ur card details and the order should go through !
-

Breft Pantslougher (@green_pumpsie) reported@SayNoToTrading @bobspaysubstack MC such a terrible acquisition. Thanks ex-PayPal CEO guy.

Cmiiw but it was like the universe trying to tell me something 🫠 Universe: i was telling you to save money
-
Atari AD (@Atari_AD) reported@Drone145 Just dont even use any wording remotely close to art at all. if someone does leave a note or something when sending you money like "thanks for the art" your cooked. tho what i did after it happened to me last year is i just made a 2nd paypal account and i havent had issues since
-
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
-
លីលី Lily🍃🪷 (@lilytaka0) reportedWith 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.
-
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?
-
liv💲is seeing bangteez 💜⏳ (@probkimatique) reported@shaelynavalon paypal seems to maybe be an issue but i don’t have the other options
-
@benjidood.bsky.social🔞🐊 (@BenjiboiAD) reportedPaypal is getting more aggressive than ever with shutting down artist's accounts And others are saying dont put these keywords in the info, do invoices only, etc Sure that'll help But I used PayPal for 10+years with comms and still got hit and I followed a strict method
-
BostonTrading (@TradingBoston) reported@juniortgr cool story bro. We got in the same way. We did not invest in BTC because "number go up"; we got in because it was far cheaper and faster to send funds through BTC than through Paypal, banking, or Western Union. Solve a problem and then make money
-
Derick Waluvl (@DWaluvl) reported@AskPayPal Hey based on my issues I have tried calling it is not working the number is not working please can you forward my issue to the relevant department
-
TYL-Simulation 🔞 (@TenguYurilove) reported@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.
-
My Name Is Yuki (@906Doantrang) reported@JacketPotato12 I'm really sorry for the trouble, you can try it again or contact me to buy and pay me directly with Paypal, thank you <3

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?
-
Olajide Ogundipe Jr (@oojx) reported@Plebian_2 @vlad_mihalcea its Revenue Cat, you definitely have to be careful but those api keys are the client id, the secret keys are on my server, similar thing with stripe or paypal
-
n a n i 🍺 (@naniSohrei) reportednow that @PayPal shut down my account, I can just not pay off my credit card right? that's how they wanna play?

toddboy (@toddems2) reported@Dragonposting2 @AniTVOfficial The problem is a lot of the people banned already didn't say what it was for PayPal is crazy vague
