here's the actual summary of what they're changing, but it would be naive to think they haven't been doing this for a long time already

now you just can't sue them for it

i see a lot of people recommending stripe as an alternative

and while stripe doesn't actively look for reasons to ban people for TOS infractions, they also do not actually allow their platform to be used nsfw/adult content transactions as per their terms of conduct

basically you're gonna have to get used to be as vague as possible when discussing your business in public, and keep all the details between you and your client

basically you have until sept 19 to scrub your accounts and figure out your smut alts and clean up the wording on your invoices so that there's absolutely no way an interested party could draw a direct line from your adult content and your paypal account

or you can try your luck with another service which will likely either not be available in as many countries, or be less trusted by clients, and also likely doesn't allow NSFW (stripe, square, cashapp)

IF YOU USE PAYPAL AS A CUSTOMER/CLIENT, especially for NSFW, you are not safe either. you can also be banned if paypal figures out what you're paying for with their platform

if you're sending payments via a paypal link or directly to a username, do not ever mention what it's for. especially nothing indicating it's NSFW

ask the artist you're paying to send an invoice instead. and don't talk about commissioning lewd shit on public accounts, and if you do, don't link/mention paypal

this is an example of one of my invoice templates on paypal. this is about as much detail as you should ever include on an invoice, and you can put less if you choose to, down to just the price total and nothing else

i'll add some specifics, like a character's name, if i feel it helps the client's comfort level or if there's multiple characters i'm charging for, to keep an itemized list of what's being paid for, but that's it

@extinct financial institutions have such an impeccable ethical record with their own actions, it only makes sense that they should get to decide what forms of subsistence are immoral and thus functionally impossible to pursue
