Good question, I guess it's cause I use another app to transfer the money from paypal to my bank cause paypal is not a wallet that works here

and they banned you for literally taking YOUR money and put it in another bank? that is fucked up! I do need to find me another way of payment too before PayPal decides that having little money in your account is also a reason to ban you!

That "use another app to transfer" is probably what got the account flagged.  It sounds to me as if Paypal can't (or won't) transfer payments directly into Liryal's bank account (which is what they normally do if you link your account to a checking or savings account at your bank), probably because they can't or won't do business with the banks where Liryal lives -- so instead, L. was using some other payment app or service which does work with their country's banking system as an intermediary, essentially "buying something from themselves" and then "paying" for it through the other app/service.

While there's nothing technically illegal about that as such, it does tend to raise "potential money laundering" flags to bank auditors, especially if there's a repeated pattern of it, so a lot of payment processors have legalese buried in their TOS allowing them to shut down accounts on that basis.

I'd not be surprised if you, too, were a victim of Terrified Mothers, Intl. reporting you for taking money for 'offensive content'. That's usually what happens. An anonymous report. They see you taking commissions from others, in a way that seems 'sketchy' (no pun intended), and they ban you. I've seen dozens of artists have the same problem through the years. Terrified Mothers think that if they can cut off your funding, then we'll all live happily in their little Happy Fantasy Land where everything comports to what **they** decide is suitable.

I use WISE for a lot of payments. Really simple system, but not many people know about it. No bullshittery on the back end and they can take credit cards.

Yeah but I'm having trouble getting it approved cause they don't take payments from my contry and I cannot start using it until I charge some bucks :/

Ugh, that's the entire point of it is for international payments =( A biz account is like $30 and is super worth it if they allow for it.

Gonna try again later, but inflation here is crazy so they were not taking payments in my local coin when I tried

They sent a mail saying some movements were inconsistent and something like that. They didn't mention the content

oh alright,  i have seen some get banned for that. and my friend uses an app called Remitly but it charges a bigger fee to sender and it goes straight to the bank instantly

That suggests to me the "using another app" to move the money was the thing that got you flagged.  Their algorithm probably flagged it as potential "money laundering" because there was a repeating pattern of money going to another payment app instead of to a known bank account.

Most likely but I can't move it from paypal to my bank account directly even if I wanted

I know the pain of PayPal shenanigans -- they also will ban you for making adult/XXX content too.
PayPal closed my account out for being -$8 USD for 3 weeks. Then charged me service fee for being in the negatives. Then they wanted $50 more on top of that plus a positive balance of $100. I said fuck'm. Wonder if CashApp would work?

There's more.

Paypal has a lot of shady ways of banning you. Even if people comment that they are buying art (not even NSFW art) they can and will ban you. They hate creatives and artists. You're better off, honestly.

People still use paypal?

Figured they'd scammed all their users away by now, doing this exact thing.

But I guess people will keep getting scammed anyway.

When I went to FWA, I saw that a lot of them were using something else, may've been Clover, because Square doesn't like NSFW stuff on their platform for some strange reason. But if you dont say WHAT it is you're selling, not like they are going to investigate it

someone probably mentioned what they were buying from you.... as now if you mention 'art' as a reason for purchase you will be thoroughly evaluated... and a LOT of people are getting banned... try appealing it and i wish you good luck
