🇵🇪 Andino Skb 🎉 COMMS OPEN (3/10) 🎊 (@Andino_SKB) reported@pnkplasticfangs The "license" argument is a smokescreen. It distracts from the real issue: PayPal demands we act like legitimate businesses to charge us fees and withhold taxes, while denying us transparency and fair process. 🧵👇

Elizabeth Charnay (@charnayelizabet) reportedPractices. @PayPal makes no sense how terrible your customer service is the inability to provide good information to your clients that you obviously don’t give a **** about.

aegon (@aegonfurball) reported@kodi_lion After waiting years and being out hundreds of dollars from an artist, I've explicitly told commed only will pay via protected platforms (like PayPal), and if I don't get progress / responses around the 6 month mark I'll do a chargeback (chargeback window). No more issues.

xaT (@radenlubis__) reported@SweetAI_Art Hi, could you please add alternative payment methods other than Stripe or Link? I'm having issues using them. I really hope you guys can add crypto or PayPal options.

Shadowriver@VRC (@ShadowriverVR) reportedMy number 1 advice to anyone doing service (commissions counts as service) or selling things (aka running business), first thing you should absolutely do is check your local laws and regulation regarding earning money yourself (aka running business, but not only that, patrion and gifts too, and selling things you own), every country has those (taxes is how counties is keep things running), because if you not following them, paypal closing your account is least thing that can go bad for you, actual banks are even under more stricter rules then that and public institutions find about about they be knocking to your doors. PayPal is not doing it to upset you, they do that because they would be in big trouble if they didn't do it. I heared a lot of stories like that even when i was in school, people getting to trouble because they started selling things, because lot of them are not aware of those because if you have normal work, lot of those obligations and dealing with this stuff usually falls down to your employer (atleast that they case in Poland). And yes it sucks, in most cases is reason why business owners and corporationare more angry about taxes and law changes, then most people are because they the one who usually need to deal with it for you when they employ you and you don't never see money was taken from you... welcome to this side of world, now you know why they are so on edge. Business is always a risk and it comes with extra obligations and costs, if you plan to do it you need to make sure you on stable ground and plan things ahead, make sure what you doing let you effort it before going all out. Even if laws don't make you pay taxes, in most cases you likely required to at least raport income anyway, even you not running business. This also means check licences and ToS of services you using to run business and anything commercial, because if you do business there usually different rules on those for you then of using those products and services. Also in case of PayPal, if you being payed for service make sure your client pick payment service not family and friends, or send them paypal invoice which is safest option as it does that automaticly. PayPal requires you to pay them fee for using there services for commercial use, they will ban you if they find out you avoid that.

Malware Kittens (@MalwareKittens) reported@Devon_Eriksen_ @artwithinpod He has the capital & the clout - that's what matters. He doesn't engineer anything anymore. I think he was good w PayPal - One problem with today- Tech bros get successful in one specific area- they get an ego & think they're extremely special geniuses in all other areas.
