vallhundSO, apparently Furaffinity has garnered attention from paypal in the worst way. Transactions with information in the Subject or Description that pertains to Furaffinity will result in the user being blocked from paypal!
This, as only I've heard and I've not yet seen it happen, is due to the fact FurAffinity has been flagged by paypal as a pornography website, which is against Paypal's main Terms of Service.
This most definately effects almost EVERY commissioner, so please when sending transactions Do not mention your FA username, the words FA or FurAffinity, or likely derivatives on paypal.
This is serious, a few people have gotten banned recently for it.
My solution (of similar solution to the person to whom I found out from, visible HERE) is that from now on I will take to invoicing customers, which means instead of when quotes are ready and the customer sending payment, the commissioner will receive an invoice through paypal from me of the appropriate amount. I will try my best to change my F.A.Q. , Price Guide, and Forms pages to include this method when I have a better chance to update my pages.
Beware kids!
EDIT:
A few other tips, taken from 
mosa HERE
For anyone that uses paypal for commissions, or for artists accepting payment regularly, keep these things in mind:
Descriptive language used in paypal transfers to the effects of payment for something that Paypal denies through their T.O.S. will end up in your payments being flagged, and your account possibly locked the same as the issue above. For that reason it is best to keep all paypal transactions and invoices void of their purpose. For artists and commissioners alike it is best to keep e-mail accounts and prices owed for your records.
For artists do not ask for payment only as gifts. Paypal will get pissy, especially if it's frequent and in large amounts, and potentially for that reason do weird stuff. Paypal gets money from the fees between transfers, but does not take fees from gifts. For this reason if you tell people to send you money as gifts continually they will ding you, limit you, or cut you off altogether for giving them the runaround.
It is both the commissioner and artist's responsibility to be smart enough and vigilant enough to prevent situations from arising on Paypal. Become aware of the issues, and for artists ensure that your customers know not to potentially get you both in a bad scenario with accounts frozen and flipping tables in rage.

Wouldn't pornographic artwork count as a loophole in their TOS, though?
And I'd imagine so, but now people are either starting to do invoices or use AlertPay since they allow Adult stuffs.
Spreading the word now...
But what can you do xD We Furries tend to cause Drama wherever we go apparently P:
Shoopdawoop.
if there's one thing the internet has taught me, it's that we have our own place for a reason: to stay out of the rest of the web
This is an artist site, ever artist site I know, furry or not, has mature artwork ;/
can you say hypocrite?
