Just woke up to an Email from PayPal stating that my account was permanently limited, thinking it's a scam I check and lo and behold: I was limited.

But what had I done? Well my only purchases using PayPal were through Itch.io, that's the only thing I use it for.

It seems I was limited for breaking "the policies of our partners" mentioned in the first paragraph of the notice. It's no secret that PayPal are quite close with Mastercard and Visa, who have been pushing hardest for this porn ban (sorry, specifically the NSFW Games sphere).

So this is a PSA: if you're using your PayPal account for anything else, don't use it for Itch.

Wero isn’t here in the states. And crypto is a required disclosure on tax forms.

You just have to disclose that you've used it, not how much or who you paid.
