IMPORTANT PAYPAL PSA FOR ARTISTS & CLIENTS Hey, please read this because a LOT of people don't know until its already too late. PayPal actively scans payment notes, and accs are getting flagged, limited, or permanently banned over certain keywords. When that happens, they can freeze your money for 180+ days.
For clients / commissioners:
DO NOT put these in the payment note: "Commission" "Tip" or "Donation" (if you're paying for a service) AS MUCH AS US ARTIST APPRECIATES OUR CLIENTS SUPPORT, PLEASE NEVER SPECIFY A TIP
PayPal uses bots / Al that look for these words (especially anything tied to adult content) to enforce their AUP. (Acceptable use policy)
For artists:
• ALWAYS use vague, SFW descriptions "Digital lllustration", "Artwork Services" and "Creative Services"
My note: Just please dont leave a note anyways! If u must leave a note for me just say "Digital lllustration" "Artwork Services", "Creative Services" or “YourUserNameHere from (where ever u commisioned me)” whatever one you want!! Thank u sm for reading and its really helpful if u shared this!!!
My addition to this going forward... I've had my paypal since I was 16 - 17 y/o long ass time. I'd hate to lose my paypal simply because the client wasn't aware.
In the future I'll have to request people to put "Digital Product", "Digital Illustration", "Creative Services" and "Artwork Services"
I may even just have it say like "yourusernamehere and website or platform" (Eg. LinkaBell on FurAffinity)
Apparently they're cracking down on the keywords "Commission" "Tip" "Donation"
I'll more than likely make my own copy/paste for future commissions and adopts just to avoid triggering paypal's new ai shit.

FA+

would saying FA still make them mad or be better?
I've seen this happen to another artist that i watch, not sure if they still have their journal up. I'll have to make an double check. But i clearly remember them stating that Do NOT put Furaffinity in your note, when it comes to paying for stuff over on Paypal at all.. Cause i think their account got flagged for it.
At this point, it's best to leave the Note session part to be completely empty. Better safe than sorry, i say. :(
