  These are the same people doing the new NEO GEO, so if you have problems expect to wait weeks before you get money back, I didn't get an answer from them Paypal sorted it out, that's why I use them.

  @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

  @nonlogs The problem is you sent it to your friend via exchange instead of using a self-custody wallet. You might as well have used PayPal, then.

  PayPal is cracking down on NSFW artists — what the hell is happening, and who kicked this off in the first place

  @HimeMysti I imagine the commissions are named something indicating their NSFW status though this doesn't give Paypal the right to shut these down, I assume ppl will move on to other platforms if Paypal doesn't stop doing this

  @Grummz Sorry if I’m asking dumb questions but I’m just now seeing this. Are you sure this is about art commissions or someone who tried to sell something illegal? Also I am confused, how does PayPal even know or keep track of what everyone is buying or selling? My customers usually inquire about my services via email or order items direct from my website store. Then just send payment via PayPal. Most of em don’t even bother to include a note to remind me what it’s for. I just keep track on my end. PayPal would have to be really invested in chasing down what every payment is for and I’m just one guy. Feels like there must be some major puzzle pieces missing from this story.🤔

  @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 !

  Honestly, I wouldn't bring this up if it didn't affect me, but since I'm an artist who uses PayPal all the time, I recommend that you don't mention the fee at all and just write “Art Commission” on the payment. That should be enough, and there shouldn't be a problem.

  Alright I’m gonna say this only once. IF YOU COMMISSION ME AND PAY THROUGH PAYPAL, DO NOT PUT ANY IN THE TEXT BOX!!!!! IF WE DISCUSSED IT IN MESSAGES YOU DON’T NEED TO PUT ANYTHING IN THE TEXT BOX ON PAYPAL. SAME GOES FOR ADOPTABLES. I DON’T NEED ANY OF THAT TROUBLE THAT PAYPAL

  Apparently taking payments for comms through PayPal from Ko-fi is NOT WORKING??? HELLO?? WTF. I'm new to Ko-fi in general but I don't think I'm gonna keep using it if I'm seeing other people having issues with it (along with myself) 😭😭

  @CiciTheSaiyan It looks to me it’s the account PayPal has an issue with. I think com’s will still work for most commission artists to get paid through this, but just as long as PayPal doesn’t find the commissioner’s account suspicious.

  @ExraNiche @AnuragRai2003 I've always had an issue with PayPal. Back when I used to donate for CSL, I started adding my donation money to PayPal so I can transfer it to my brokerage faster. it kept giving me **** for transferring... my own money. To my OWN accounts. The only time it helped was when I couldn't find my brokerage card and I had to buy BTS tickets before the cart expired so besides that one moment, it is genuinely the WORST platform to manage money.

  @ChibiReviews People should just stop using PayPal, they were known to be terrible since like 2017
