The "Declined" Contagion

Tracy Scops

I read it all and suffered first-hand from it, even not living in the US. Paypal is very strict against what they classify as obscene. I know more than a dozen people that got banned for working with XXX art on paypal. Myself included.

Hentai Borg

I am not sure but I think the 'Paypal don't allow for NSFW' is an US rules. I keep earing this but since there is like 20 pages of conditions to read...

Tracy Scops

I'm relieved things got back on track... *phew*

LegacyHen

Yes indeed, according to the e-mail I got, everything got processed A-Ok.

Tracy Scops

That's too kind. Thanks!

Tracy Scops

Seems like it was fixed overnight. All declines got reset. =)

Tracy Scops

Yay! =)

Badgermushroom

I had a couple of payments rejected (not to you), but they got reprocessed within a few hours. Hopefully they will get around to you ASAP. -BM

Rest assured, we ain't going nowhere missus.

That black guy

And it seems to have been fixed

Tracy Scops

Thanks! Looks like a general bug on Patreon. They're aware of it and trying to fix it now. Things should be solved soon.

Weird and patreon with PP not for NSFW never had a problem with that, or haven't seen any declines ever when considering mine pledges here.

Tracy Scops

Yep, I dream of the day I can live Paypal-free. Now, their ToS states that they not only can ban you and hold all currency for many months, but they can also permanently seize $2500 from your account for each offense they see fit. No appeals granted. And yes, so far, your pledge is still PENDING (aka processing).

This has been an ongoing issue since December where it declined ALL my credit card pledges, forcing me to switch to paypal ever since. Hopefully when this issue with their payment merchant is resolved it'll fix all the credit card issues, leading to less overall declined patreon pledges. That being said, havn't heard a peep from my own pledges so I assume its still processing

Tracy Scops

Nah... You were always fine every month. =) If it does again this time, it's because of this "leap second" patreon bug.

If mine is declined, It's cause i don't get paid till midnight Central.

Tracy Scops

Thanks! Let's see how they handle it all for the next couple of days. These things are the exact reason why I set the release date for the comics on the 5th day of the month. =)

Tracy Scops

Thanks! But just so you know, that means that it went back from DECLINED to PENDING again, which is perfectly normal, so they should retry it again soon. When they do that, it changes to PROCESSED for me. =)

It might be fixed now I just tried to repay and it says it went through.

CashMoney_30

I told them to retry and it went through so let me know if anything does happen.

Tracy Scops

Thanks!

Patreon usually sends you a message if you get Declined. Also, you can check your pending pledges on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/settings">https://www.patreon.com/settings</a> ("Outbound Pledges" tab). About your other supported page, the creator may have either shut down his page or he may have deleted you as a patron for an unknown reason. Patreon does not warn a patron when he is deleted.

Hellomellowyellow

Just curious, how would you know your payment is "declined"? My June support for you was in but I have one of the Patreons I'm supporting mysteriously removed from the list of creators that got payed this month.

Mine is fine. So don't worry

Tracy Scops

Thanks Vi9. Looks like a general bug on Patreon. They're aware of it and trying to fix it promptly.

That black guy

Not just nsfw (i got a decline on one of the non nsfw), i use my card and i told them to retry card .

Tracy Scops

Thanks, my friend. I was getting very nervous here. Seems to be a much larger "contagion" than I thought...
