ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

For all those considering commissioning me please do not send payment via PayPal.
Due to reasons beyond my control PayPal has put limitations on my account. They have given me until Sept. 13th to remove these limitations and if I don't before then they will place a restriction on my account. What does a restriction mean? Well, from what I can tell it can mean a lot of things, but most likely they will put a lock on my account keeping me from sending/transferring money.
So basically I can receive money from others, but I can't get to any of it even though it's rightfully mine!
So until I get this all sorted out ALL PAYMENTS FOR COMMISSIONS MUST BE SENT TO MY ALERTPAY ACCOUNT.
If you're unsure about AlertPay lemme just say that it's exactly like PayPal in that it allows you to buy, receive, and send money online in the exact same ways as you would with a PayPal account. You will have to make an account if you don't already have one, but the set up is exactly the same. The only difference between PayPal and AlertPay is that AlertPay is based outside the US and is a little better at handling international accounts and purchases.
Please don't send any money to my PayPal account until I can get this all worked out!
Geeze this is gonna be a pain in the butt. >.<

Alertpay's interface is a little clunkier but from what I've read they're safer and more reliable than Paypal. Same goes for Merchantinc.

I admit the AlertPay site needs an overhaul, I felt a little confused by their interface at first! I've had my PayPal account for years without any issue. I'm actually kinda sad I won't be using it for while. D:

If it makes you feel any better, Paypal is under investigation for fraud, so don't feel too bad.

Good! Reading up on them brings to light a lot of horror stories!

I'm just gonna give you a heads up. Calling paypal would be 1000000x times better than emailing them about this crap. I did that and a year long of fighting through emails was turned into a 10 minute phone call :/

Oh man, you dealt with this crap for a year?! Thanks so much for the suggestion I will call them during office hours!

Oh yeah. They locked around 30-40$ of mine in there for a year, and all you get from emailing them is copypasta crap from their help center :/ yeah, calling them would definitely be quickest.
