Message to everyone
🕑 Added 2020-05-10 20:01:14 +0000 UTCHi guys,
this time it will be the sad message.
I returned a few days ago, but was forced into self-isolation. There are no coronavirus test results yet, but the feelings are not pleasant. I feel enormous fatigue that makes even getting out of bed a whole problem, but this is not the main reason why I am writing this message.
At the beginning of May, PayPal permanently blocked my accounts when I started transferring money for a couple of months from Patreon. As they wrote to me in the letter, the blocking reason - potential risks associated with the maintenance of my account. From technical support, I found out that in fact they blocked me, because I live in the territory under sanctions (Crimea).
More than a hundred dollars left in the account, I can not return. I only can discuss their return after 180 days. A money transfer of more than 558$ stuck in their system. They cannot tell me anything about. I called them several times and each time I heard the same thing - "we working on this". I don’t even know if I can return them at all...
The most sad thing is that this money was the last amount for a new laptop. I already wanted to order it as soon as they come to my account...
And now I was left without money from Patreon, and without the opportunity to create an account on PayPal, since all my data is already in their system. PayPal was the only system I could use for foreign payments. All the rest do not work with us too, because of sanctions.
This means that I can no longer deal with Patreon or commissions.
Now I have limited new subscriptions (I hope this worked) and if I don’t find a way out by the end of the month, I will transfer page to the free mode before it asks you for money. Sorry, but now I'm just not able to come up with a way out of this situation.
Thanks for staying with me all these months. I was pleased to work with all of you. As soon as the situation becomes clearer, I will write another, perhaps the last message.

А ты сам в ваши местные банки не обращался? Может есть какой способ вывести средста оттуда?
Westheimer
Это звучит ужасно на самом деле. Но, не знаю, может тебя это поддержит, но у меня есть много знакомых, живущих в Крыму. И я не раз слышал от них подобные случаи. Особенно в последние года полтора. Опуская подробности - им вернули доступ к аккаунтам, после продолжительной "проверки" Так что не стоит 'уж слишком' расстраиваться, всё образуется. Ну, а ты - держись! Я в любом случае продолжу тебя поддерживать!

just wondering though, can't you get your payouts deposited directly into your bank account? Or maybe use an alternative to Paypal like Payoneer?

Sorry to hear that Alex. Hopefully you can find a solution. You have my support.
Keep your head up king
