[Important]Consider using Wise as payment method
4 years ago
Continue from this About Paypal payment restriction
I got an e-mail to accept new term of agreement yesterday. It clearly start that I can't accept payment via Paypal anymore after 18th February 2022(Next year)
Then took at least 2 months later(Consider official relaunch will happens in March) I'll look forward to see if Paypal Thailand will consider unlock that "receive money" feature back to personal account later.
From overall local community, most of artist try to move on and proceed to upgrade there account into business type. But the solution can't be done for me after considering it for long.
One last choice left I can do is using Wise.
This way need you to have Wise account registered beforehand, so I can accept the price with it. Took less than hour to complete the registration (They need your national ID card + selfie for confirmation)
Only weird side is you need to pay using your primary currency. Make pricing a bit odd but better than nothing.
So, in case you got a plan to order me comm later next year. I'd like to ask you to make/register Wise account. I also consider using it as long as it got no further problem. Because Wise also provide significant cheaper fees than Paypal.
However, until deadline, I plan to open for comm as soon as January and going to finished them all before end of the month.
I can accept Paypal in this Jan comm batch, but if you can try using Wise with me right away would be very welcome. That way you can help me do a test run with it.
Thanks for attention.

I get to know other 'send money aboard' choice during this Paypal incident as well. Such as Stripe/Venmo/Payoneer which ended up not as famous as Paypal but actually has lower fee charge.
I know people using Paypal because it's most famous since old days and not need to change it....but looks like the tide has turn to other brand while I has been forced to change my choice =v=
