Do NOT leave that amount of cash on your PayPal if you draw porn, they might shut down your account and you can lose it with zero recourse.
Maybe that's just from that day.
Yeah. Thinkst Canary started their business without investors or anyone that would tell them to not use PayPal. Their product was a fucking hit and since that happened they were getting a lot of cash in their paypal account. The ceo was on Risky Business and said that years after PayPal closed their account, they were still out the few hundred thousand dollars that were in the account. Do not use PayPal, and if you must transfer whatever money you get to a traditional bank account asap.
Holy fuck why would you keep that much in your paypal account jfc that’s risky
yeah, the only valid reason is if you receive $98k at once through paypal
Probs shouldnt be doing that either lol
Story time: I have a side business selling web optimization services. UX, AB testing, etc.
I got busy and didn't take my money immediately after completing a few projects and one of my clients complained to Paypal about my service. My account was immediately locked and it took me at least 3 months to get access back to my account.
They basically had 15k of my money, interest free for them to play with even tho the contested amount was $500. I ended up just eating the 500 just to get access to my account, even tho the client is still using the improvements I made to their site.
So ya, fuck Paypal. Fffuuuucccckkk PayPal.
That’s why I love crypto. No reversals, no bs
Or just use bank transfer. It's the same as paying in cash. Do Americans still have to use third parties to send money?
It’s better, lot less reversals, but you don’t get the anonymity benefit from it and transfers outside your own country get really expensive
Most of our banks have Zelle, which lets us send money from one bank account directly to another. You can to use the associated email address, phone number, or name. I think it shows you the name on the account? I'm honestly not positive as I so rarely use it. But even then you could create a business account. But not many people use it. Most people prefer Paypal, CashApp, or Venmo.
Most small and medium businesses don't have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.
There is still a stigma for crypto.
Yea it’s mainly for people to people transaction, not really suit for company payments. It’s a lot harder to fill taxes and stuff with it
Not defending PayPal, but I used to work there. They suck but in my experience you woulda lost the 500 of the person had called their card company too. Idk how the bank would have handled the dispute directly without PayPal but they do love holding funds as well
If someone disputes $500 with your bank, your bank doesn't hold your whole $15,000 account while sorting it.
I can only speak for Europe, but your bank won't do shit, even if you claim that you accidentally sent the money to the wrong person, all they do is connect you to the account owner so you can ask them to return the money and if they don't you have to go through court.
Unless you say the magical words "unauthorized transaction"
For card payments reversal is easy, for bank transfer, a lot harder
They froze my entire account for 500usd. The rest of the 14500 was from other happy customers.
I use a regular bank for credit card services now and when there is something contested, it's only for the charged amount that is held. Not my entire account.
You keep almost 100k on PayPal how fucking embarrassing
Wish I could draw lesbian furries 🥹
i wish i could draw lesbian stick figures
Draw an XX but with the X's crossing. Lesbian stick figure scissoring!
I wish I had 100k.
Everyone can draw that. The money is in drawing really well.
Dude if I could draw I would only draw commissioned furry porn. So Much Money!
Paypal is not a bank account. This is dangerous.
Having that much money as a paypal balance and not at least in a bank account or invested is insane
Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people's accounts.
Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn't like you, say you sold "Fuck PayPal stickers", they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.
Back when I was doing art for money (not adult or furry stuff, sorry) I had years of racing to the computer or in some cases, the ATM, to transfer new payments out of Paypal.
Because they make decisions on behalf of linked providers, like ebay. If you have ebay fees due, you don't get flexibility when you can pay it, Paypal just grabs it the next time it sees money come in. They do this with all kinds of fees and payments, if you have a delicate life like say... being a struggling artist, you are gonna get reamed by paypal and associated predatory companies. Not that there's a lot of choice.
Brandt said he enjoyed being a meme, and he did frequently use the catchphrase, although he did say that his high school English teacher would not have approved of his usage of "ain't".[6][20]
i wish I had 1% of that this week, lol. i’ll draw furries for 1%. may include crayon INSIDE the lines!
Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
I like to sit on the couch and vegetate, would this help ?
Wow wow. The saying is “you’ll never work a day in your life,” not that you’ll be financially stable.
Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.
'Cause no one will hire you.
People who brag about money never really coming out looking the best...
The furry artist was responding to someone saying his "hobby" was embarrassing. He posted the balance to show that his "hobby" is actually a very profitable business.
It's a brag, but a provoked one.
Except that something being profitable doesn't make it any more or less embarrasing. e.g. Landlords make lots of money yet we all hate them.
Sure, but landlords make their money unethically. Drawing lesbian furries is honest work
We need that "it ain't much" farmer guy surrounded by flurries.
You're missing the forest for the trees, but ok.
Lemmy often HATES when people make a correct statement that they'd rather ignore
