  @WallStreetApes Got hit with a SIM swap fraud. Bank confirmed unauthorized transfer. PayPal still denied my claim multiple times and kept pointing to “successful authentication.” So apparently if a hacker gets your texts, it’s still considered “you.” This is broken.

  @PPhantomGray @Keniisu They're kind of a monopoly. Not much we can do about it. Stop using their cards? Most banks only offer services with either of these. Most services only accept payment from either of these. PayPal is also corrupt. Only fix is widely spread crypto.

  @drjoshcsimmons PayPal has always been a crap product with egregious security risks. Unclear how it launched anyone's career. There is something very shady going down with Tech. H-1Bs are unconstitutional/illegal. Hence, some very, very powerful people are not American citizens at all.

  @Dylanxjl14 @SkaavArt It's most likely due to payment processors (mastercard/VISA). It's been a recurring problem with EVERYTHING recently. Subscribestar, steam, PayPal, etc. So so so many platforms are changing up their rules regarding NSFW content because of pressure from payment processors.

  @N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you What do you expect twitch in their analytics?

  Random advice for aspiring comic book writers planning a project in the future Take some money and week over week set it aside - put it in a different bank account, add it to your PayPal balance, invest it in the S&P 500 or something just so it’s not in your regular bank balance. That’s just for making your comic. Do that for a year and there’s a chance that when you’re ready to start crowdfunding, you can actually self finance the comic yourself, or at least enough to reduce the goal. That’s how I paid for the covers on my first issue, including one by Yanick Paquette. Every week I set aside $20-40, whatever I could. The time came and i had a really strong budget for my covers as well as some interior pages without breaking the bank. I paid for more of my comic by taking on an editing gig, which is what I used to commission my backup stories. You want as little of the upfront production to be coming out of your salary as possible - don’t be afraid to take on side gig work to bolster your budget. The kind of work you can do over a couple weeks in summer. Making comics as a writer is expensive and a lot of people radically underestimate that and are never really ready to start. I’ve seen some campaigns that didn’t even have a cover for the project, the cover was a stretch goal, others that advertised almost entirely on concept art and maybe a single interior page. I’ve also had people try and hire me with virtually nothing ready to spend, saying “I can pay you as I get paid” and they didn’t have a real budget. If you’re crowdfunding, you want at least four pages of interiors and at least one cover to showcase. Be comfortable with the idea that it could take as long as a few years to put your comic out. I started concept work in 2022, launched in 2023, fulfilled between late 24 and early 25. It’s better to wait and put out a comic you’re proud of than rush things just for the immediate gratification and satisfaction of making a comic! Just be comfortable waiting to make your comic. Imo if you have an idea in 2026, you shouldn’t be putting a comic out on crowdfunding until 27. Spend the rest of 26 tweaking your story and saving your money. Trust me, it helps. Always go into your very first crowdfund with some disposable income set aside. The alternative is find an artist willing to work with you on a strip where you can just commission them for a page at a time as you’re ready/comfortable. Artists don’t mind it as long as you communicate the situation up front.

  @PayPal , on top of being by far the most expensive payment provider (topped only by @Klarna), you also do not offer the option to withdraw foreign currencies in anything other than our local currency (EUR). If I do want to withdraw, you force a conversion in which for about 4.000 EUR you take 150 EUR fee. Your web app being completely broken and your support useless is then the final slap in the face. Shameful.

  @trueusagoods I placed an order with this company. I am now trying to cancel it. The website changed the color of what I ordered, it decided to run my credit card through Paypal even though I clicked Paypal off, and it has a wierd “add a tip” that defaults to adding a tip unless you use the custom function to say zero, I guess? Also, the payment goes through to an individual name rather than the name of the company. I would overlook one of these errors but not all of them. I’ve requested the order be cancelled, if it works I will update.
