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.

2020-05-11 14:10:41 +0000 UTCА ты сам в ваши местные банки не обращался? Может есть какой способ вывести средста оттуда?

2020-05-10 23:36:27 +0000 UTCЭто 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!

2020-05-10 23:33:20 +0000 UTCjust wondering though, can't you get your payouts deposited directly into your bank account? Or maybe use an alternative to Paypal like Payoneer?
