And quite possibly by Paypal too, but I'm unsure about that point. Long story short: Every purchase made through Boosty is now flagged as suspicious or fraudulent activity and blocks the account or card associated with the purchase. The account can be 'unblocked' but it seems neither the personnel at the local bank branches nor the people on the 24/7 bank help line has the power to fully unblock cards used in the process of paying through Boosty. It basically KILLS the card forever and I had to get a brand new card. I waited 24 hours to use it, as they said to. But it then blocked and KILLED the new card too, now forcing me to go back and get a SECOND new card. I will not be chancing Boosty again at this time since my bank has recently made a change to confirm all purchases through it as suspiciously fraudulent. So anybody I owe money to, I'm sorry, I literally cannot pay you because my bank said I couldn't. Once I get a SECOND new card to use, I'll only be able to use Paypal. I 'could' try other methods - but Easystart and BuyMeaCoffee have also flagged things with my bank as suspicious too, so those options are out too.

tl;dr: there's going to be a serious drought of future commissions from me until we can get to use Paypal once more for artists I commission. I'm sorry...

UPDATE

A friend is helping me set up with Wise and having a separate international banking account that can operate independently from the bank I'm using with less restrictions (from my understanding). Just waiting until after New Year's to get a Wise banking card and I should be able to make payments once more.

UPDATE 2

I have now gotten a separate card with Wise and it seems I can now use Boosty again, but with Wise, not my bank! I'm back in business commissions artists who can only use Boosty! :D
