PayPal is dead
3 years ago
Well! We were afraid of this and it happened! PayPal doesn't work in Russia anymore!
Now many Russian artists are in shock and panic, they do not know what to do next. Including me. In fact, drawings on Furaffinity are my only source of income. And I really would not like to lose it!
Therefore, I hope that the payment services that are still working, such as Payoneer and Paysend, will continue to work.
And I hope even more that you will be able to get into my position and not be afraid to try new payment methods besides PayPal.🌸

Paysend should still work according to several Russian friends. I never used it personally though.

I've already used Paysend once. And it handled the transaction pretty well. So I think as an alternative it's pretty good. However, I'm afraid that many people who are used to PayPal will not want to try new payment services for the sake of my art.:((

Some people are slow to make the transition.

People over there have been setting up a page on BuyMeACoffee.com. It's worth looking into as an alternative for receiving payment and donations.

Oh yeah. I saw it. It looks pretty good. But there is a big problem that buymeacoffee only works with PayPal, which I have been blocked for a year!>.< So if my man and I figure out how to use one buymeacoffee for two of us, then this will be a great option!

I sent someone a donation on BuyMeACoffee yesterday and all it wanted was a credit card number. I didn't even see an option for Paypal. Are you thinking of KoFi? I do remember that one took paypal payments.

Unfortunately, I found out that BuymeaCoffee also no longer works in Russia. Therefore, such an attractive and simple method has also become useless from now on.

Ok. It might be that the person I sent money to was in Ukraine so it was still working for them. My mistake.

OP
To be honest, I haven't personally checked.)) But most Russian-speaking artists, both here on Furaffinity and on other services, write that Buymeacoffee does not work. Now it is generally difficult to understand anything objectively. Especially considering the pace of change. Did you know that we will soon not be able to pay with Visa and Mastercard cards at all? Russians who live abroad can't withdraw money from their Visa and Mastercard cards right now...🙈

Yes, I saw that a couple days ago that the major credit card companies were suspending transactions in Russia. All that's doing is hurting a lot of people who have nothing to do with the war. It's good they're opposed to war but they're going about it the wrong way.

The first days of the santskion cancellations, I felt terrible! I didn't see any sense in anything at all. And now, when a little time has passed and I have calmed down, I think that everything that is being done is for the best! I try to look for advantages in everything!)) This situation makes the brain work in a new way! Some doors close and you have to look for other doors.
