Alternatives to PayPal?
3 months ago
This is the journal header. Nothing to see here, get to reading the actual journal yah goof!
Yeah, wow, this is quite the journal to come up after...three years? Goodness.
Unfortunately, bad news has brought me to write this up: I need suggestions for alternatives to PayPal?
Taking any suggestions. Importantly, I need to be able to pay folks that are still using PP. Which is most every artist.
They have chosen, in their infinite wisdom, to limit my account for reasons ill explained (though let's be honest, we all know what they're like, we all know why). So needless to say, I need something else. I shan't be stopping my commissioning of furry artists on fucking PayPal's terms!

For making payments that can still be received by Paypal, that one's a little more tricky. Best suggestion I can make is to do "pay as guest", which should allow you to pay using a credit or debit card without needing a Paypal account at all, provided you have a credit card that you can reliably pay off.
Honestly, I've been using PP for so long, I kinda just totally forgot that it could be used without any account!
Needless to say I've been in a bit of a frustrated flap trying to figure out how to work around this, and trying to get information out of PP as to WHY they've banned my account (I think it would be easier to get blood out of a stone).
Hearing that has relieved some of the aggravation, knowing that I can continue to commission artists for furry smut at my leisure! My thanks!
I really hope you can figure out what happened! It feels downright criminal sometimes that PP can just ... lock things down with no explanation.
Glad to have been of use, good luck and have fun!!
Just means in future ill have to remember to request invoices from artists instead of sending money direct.
It's typically better for everyone to use invoices anyway. The few times I've taken direct payment PayPal half the time decides to flag and hold the money for 30 days :/ idk what the hell is up with their algorithm but it's complete ass. I'm glad there's still at least the pay as guest option available.
I ask since PayPal's documentation is dreadful. I figured it better coming from somebody with experience.
