I missed Leopup, so cute ;3;

I thought I WAS using paypal

It's been like that since forever.
It's just that PayPal is the most trusted and used payment methos X'D but it has always been not-friendly to NSFW

np :3

What will happen if I *do* support a NSFW Patreon with PayPal though? I mean, it's not like the option is barred or gone from payment options, I *can* do it.

it won't go through, you won't be charged and the artist won't receive your support
we can see how much you've supported and how long you've been a patron though

So far it's gone without a hitch for me though, my Patreon bills are all registered on PayPal and deducted from my balance.

I'll review this and contact my patrons about it though, I'm now concerned.

Yeah I've been using paypal without any problems either. If this is true though then it looks like I wont be using Patreon anymore. I get paid through paypal so that's where all my money is.

Thanks for the information; all people who go to Patreon should know this already! X'D

I know of Paypal's policy but has this actually been enforced in regards to Patreon? So far I haven't heard anyone having any issues with this

Patreon hasn't made an official statement yet, but it was in their latest change of ToS I think

I'm guessing this only concerns people who use their paypal directly? I have a paypal debit card that I use for all the artists I support, and it always goes through.

debit card works fine

ah, cool. Man every time someone posts something about paypal it always scares the hell out of me.

I think you're mistaken actually. You can't pay for adult SERVICES (like escorts or prostitution), but you can pay for adult PRODUCTS (dildos, porn, etc). The ToS was meant to prevent sex trafficking or other forms of sexual services.

There was a huge stink about all this months ago, and MANY different artists ended up corroborating the same info with Paypal's official support team.

EDIT: And yes, this is INCLUDING the recent change in ToS. I can't be arsed to pull up the section everyone was pasting, but I'm absolutely positive it was about this 'big issue' that actually isn't one.

I hope that's true but I still get a lot of payment failures from patrons every month

Best guess has to be Patrons doing the old "Pay 'n pull" of their accounts to get free art from you without paying, like they do with Kayla-Na. It's very likely NOT because of your supposed worry though.

Seth I think you may be right about paypal because I just looked over the calculating payout from our own patreon and there are A LOT of declines.

Adorable puppy is adorable.

(i) certain sexually oriented materials or services

This likely pertains to only things like zoophilia and/or child pornography, possibly things like guro/gore and pornification of violence or other 'disturbing' material which people may beat it to.

Paypal has routinely come out and said that adult material is NOT banned, prohibited or blocked on their site. What people think and what is true are two very different things. People who get locked out of their accounts have it happen because they did something wrong, or initiated too many gift transactions or charge backs. Stuff like that. Selling furry porn is not one of those things.

I'm considered a 'senior' business account member with Paypal, and the last time I called them in I asked hypothetically if drawn porn like hentai was allowed. The supervisor that I had on the phone (was dealing with my pp card being stolen at the time) said that it's completely fine for people to sell adult material. Dunno how much more matter-o-fact you can get about it.

And uh, I've been a patron of a couple people, namely patto, and I used PP and it worked just fine. Lot of rumors going around, why people spread them though is beyond me.

Btw the criteria of certain porn being a no-no is an obvious one, since their first term is Prohibited Activities

You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:

"1.violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation."

and zoophilia is against the law in the majority of the USA, where PP is based. Likewise, CP is banned practically everywhere.

omg the cutest advice! DX

Pretty dang sure I linked mine with my credit card owo;
Now you've got me worried though.

This is good to know. Thanks for informing the unknowing public.

I never understood why you can't use paypal for that.

cause fuck paypal <w>

.....oh o.O;
guess i can't support anyone through Patreon then... fuck

debit card and credit card is the same thing?
That means that you can send the money only for Patreon or for Paypal only for Credit card?

LOOK AT HIM

What is Stripe? o,oa

just another web payment option

aww cute
