PayPal just updated their rules - and it's making it hard for me to stay with them...
I'm tired, I'm furious, and I cannot understand why they are so adamant about getting rid of NSFW artists and making it hard for them to live
Look at this, just look at that highlighted paragraph
This is basically telling you that any member of PayPal, be it the NSFW artist or the commissioner, if you have any reference to PayPal whatsoever, have any direct link integrations to PayPal on any site, this includes here, Ko-fi, Patreon, etc, they will make a bot that will literally hijack your site, scan it, and then if it sees NSFW in writing or picture, they will send it to the Mods, and they will decide whether or not to use this to ban you on the spot
Lemme rephrase that - they will hijack your sites and will use that as an excuse to cut you off if you use any form of NSFW
This is illegal, this is literally illegal, they are a paying service site, not a goddamn bank
The only way to avoid this, so I am told, is to not mention ANYTHING in your work that has NSFW content in it, hell not even picture form, and remove every reference it has to Paypal itself, even saying its name is risky
Another way is to make invoices EXCLUSIVELY, and the invoice itself will have to be blank, literally blank, with nothing on it other than the payment
Or another route is to just change to an alternate place that works like PayPal, but where am I gonna find one that's trustworthy?
So yeah, to make matters worse, I can't even use my subscriptions there anymore now thanks to this shit, I can, because there's a direct link integration to it and according to these updated rules, it's given them an excuse to hunt me down, and now I have to update my commission sheet yet again and avoid using Paypal as a reference, and remove anything involving PayPal's name in the descriptions, in the names, everything - and invoices is literally the only thing that i can do in order to earn cash
I have to be SO careful in what I say it is tiring
So yeah basically, soon, I'm gonna have to change a lot of things around here and on my other sites, because this shit, is ridiculous, but it must be done
