My PayPal got banned

So no more commission work.

Not that I was able to do commissions at the moment anyway.

Somehow things just keep getting worse.

Have you tried a cash app business account, Venmo, or Ko-Fi?

I had ko-fi, but it also uses Paypal, so I can't get money out of it anymore either.

Jeez... these puritans need to get a life. Like, do they really have nothing better to do than ruin other people's lives?

Hopefully you can find another way to accept commissions and whatnot. I've heard that SubscribeStar is more kink-friendly.

I created a Subscribestar account. It's still waiting for verification. No idea how long it takes. People say it can take a very, very long time until they approve them, so it's unlikely to change anything in this case.

If I can get it working, I'll try to connect it with something that allows me to transfer the money to me. But right now, I just don't have anything.

Instead of questioning whether or not the "payment processor" (who takes a cut) will continue to "allow" us to pay each other, you can just use crypto.

It's going to have to be crypto eventually, no matter how much propaganda is published against it.  You just treat it like a processor by taking the payment and selling the crypto.

I have literally no way of converting crypto into real money. It's of no use to me at the moment. I need to feed my dogs and pay the bills, and crypto isn't going to help me with any of that.

You need a bank account and probably a photo ID.  I dunno when you checked up on it last, but it's ez now.  It's literally built into payment apps now, too, but those probably have an additional fee like paypal has.

I've heard some credit unions or banks step in to prevent you from spending your own money, so the worst case scenario would be you have to make a bank account at a different bank.

If you haven't looked into it recently, then you should, a lot has changed. ;3

No, look. I need an actual solution to my problems. I literally have to eat dog food to survive sometimes. There's nothing that accepts crypto. I can't buy dog food or regular food with it. I can't refuel my truck by paying with crypto. I need something that covers the immediate primary survival expenses basically right now.

Spending money on stuff like that is so far down on the list it's not even worth thinking about at the moment.

Again, use it as a payment processor.

Buyer buys bitcoin, sends it to you, you automatically sell it for funds in your bank account.  Total fee is less than ~$1 most times.

You don't pay for groceries with your Patreon login, because it's a payment processor.

(Edit : Basically, both you and the buyer would "own bitcoin" for less than 15 minutes total.)

Damn. It really does keep getting worse for you. But maybe with you most likely not doing nsfw because of laws in your country (atleast thats how i understood that discussion on your DC-server a while back), maybe you could look in to things like patreon or as mentioned in a comment above, Ko-Fi. Maybe subscribestar aswell as an option.

I think Patreon follows the same rules as Paypal these days. Basically you can get banned any day if you do nsfw. I also had ko-fi, but the only way I could get money out of it was through Paypal.

Subscribestar may be an option, and I created an account. However, it's pending approval, and people say it can take anything between months and years until they approve it, so it's not going to help me either. I'm completely screwed, and I just don't see a way out of this situation anymore.

What about Zelle or Venmo, or Cash app as a last resort? Your art is fantastic and it would be a great loss to the feral art community if you stopped drawing 😭

I am so sorry, it is unbearable to have to be with the knife in our necks constantly, I feel the same fear that one day this will happen to me too and, in my country's current situation, fifty dollars is a lot of money and they just take everything away from you. Again, I am sorry for what you are going through.

I'm glad to see you're still among the living, and that you're hanging in there though things could definitely better. I'm hoping something uplifting turns your way soon.

I don't understand... what does Paypal care about the thing in question? They only care about the transaction itself, as long as there are no scams, what do they care? I highly doubt they have any of this prohibited in their terms of use... what serious/professional company would even care about the object itself, much less the subject matter... the message? WTF?...
And if they banned you just because of people's complaints... Didn't they investigate whether the complaints are true? Are they copying Youtube's algorithm?

Can't imagine how rough this must be. I would love to commission you sometime when you get back on your feet.

what i would do in this situation is: if you liked paypal but your account got banned.  create a new one. sure you would have to start from scratch, but you would have your preferred payment back.  use the same email address, but a different password.  this way its still accessible, but it goes to your new profile.

That's not going to work, as they'd just ban me again right away. That's what happens to others who got banned. Also can't link it to my bank account for the same reason, so I have no way to get the money out of there anyway. It's just completely useless at this point. Paypal is no longer an option. I'm gonna have to find another similar service.
