And next they'll start banning people for leaving things blank, because that's how people are avoiding any flagged words. This is getting out of hand.

my god you doomers always find ways to predict your own downfall dont you
its like you LOVE being picked on and playing victim just to get likes or something

Absolutely terrifying, but it's all spark and no substance, just shock factor and theatrics for the sake of it with nothing but vibes to back it up. And worst of all, it'll be forgotten within a week, but the fear for the sake of it still remains because that's the entire point, regardless of topic.
That's textbook doomerism alright.

Yes, I can't wait to say "Here you go!" because Paypal is incompetent. So scary.

Yeah, I wish governments would stop payment processors from acting like the morality police given their overarching financial control

I've heard that our current president gave an executive order to "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans." earlier this year.

Seems like Paypal isn't getting the memo, and they might be at risk.

Here we go again.

Wait, this is going to discrimination lawsuit territory, isn't it?

I forgot to add, isn't there also alternatives to paypal as well? Like CashApp, Venmo, or something?

unfortunately, none that are as universally easy to access or widespread in use.

I doubt that. I've seen Venmo on a few official payments in recent months. Seems like usage in other apps can help increase usage on them as well.

blegh I can't edit anything on this website because my research takes time, something that few people have...

I've also been inclined to believe that Paypal is cracking down on money launderers using their services, but the fact that NSFW stuff has been caught in the crosshairs due to "high-risk" is a dumb excuse to say the least. Seems like PayPal is just straight up incompetent and paranoid.

Honestly, I'd say you're better off finding a 2nd best option or two to avoid stuff like this in the future. I'd honestly rather find alternatives that at least work when needed, rather than spend the energy crying about it and expecting everyone else to "join the noise" in hopes that it magically changes things.
Some companies simply won't listen, so customers leave since they're not satisfied, thus losing the money they care about. Alternatives make it much easier to avoid using them.

Thanks for the warning. Paypal's seem to have gotten really paranoid.
Sometimes leaving the comments thing blank also would brick the recepiant account.

jeez, I didn't know they were going that far

shared this around to a few artists I know. appreciate the info.

Can confirm, this has been a thing for decades now.
Leave that thing BLANK.

I had been using "Commission fee" on my invoices for a while up until now, I'm surprised I haven't been hit yet.

right i been hearing about it just ask them to dont write nothing well that how i work to avoid trouble wiht it

think I heard this some week ago, but only in general request money/send money "comms" are flagged, but the on site invoice should not be effected

Interesting, I wonder why they made that distinction.

That's okay, I never do commissions.

But many, many other people do. And some of those people depend on it as part or all of their livelihood.

Oh no, not "potentially explicit art"! Ugh. Fuck these financial institutions deciding what we're allowed to spend our money on, for fuck's sake...

Donald Trump gave an executive order for financial companies to provide transactions or get sued. Is he really as bad as people say he is, or is that Marvel Movie Logic ran by leftist channels still commanding the narrative?
