Paypal situation update
4 years ago
General
I would like to inform you about Paypal situation. I believe this will be the last I will mention about this payment gate.
TLDR; They screwed us all. we are moving out to other payment services.
Recently, after a lot of unnecessary legal/business papers for us freelance, Paypal decided to change their mind. They will cancel all of our business registration and we will not be able to use the service for commission and freelance work anymore after 7th March this year.

They show no interest to have any kind of solution to compensate our lost in our freelance artist/merchant career in these time gap and in the future and our effort to register as a business goes in vain. This is unacceptable and we see it as unprofessional act involving with our stupid government that deals with them.
I would like to ask for your help. That, if you would like to commission Thai artists, please try on some of the alternative ways they provided. It could be Payoneer, Wise or some other "Coffee" donation places. I'm sure that the set up is easy and us artist will be more than glad to help you.
We might settled on a service or two in the later time but it's not clear yet on what service we as a majority is going to use so every suggestion is also welcome. We do sharing knowledge to each other right now.
I'm also setting on account things like the others. I will come back and open the commission again when I'm ready.
