Less of a lurker, now, but still reblogging stuff whate'er tickles my fancy. Includes choice bits of my own random ramblings, though I am trying to focus on showing off/working on my OCs. Currently gushing over my WoL (and other peoples's WoLs xD). Am 18+, as is a bunch of the stuff I share, fair warning.
I've been receiving comments from multiple people lately saying that they're having trouble signing up to my Patreon. For whatever reason their transactions are being declined. I apologize for the frustration! My spouse did their best to compile related info that might be causing the problem so I'll share it here for future reference.
1. Patreon requires an instant funding source (credit/debit card or bank account) to be associated with all PayPal transactions, even if there are already funds available in the PayPal account. The transaction will fail if your PayPal account is not linked to a card or bank account.
2. Authorizing international transactions through your bank/card, as they are sometimes automatically flagged and declined.
3. Authorizing P2P (peer to peer) payments through your bank/Paypal, as sending money through Patreon may be classified as a cash advance instead of a subscription. Issue may be specific to PayPal and/or Australian banks
4. Patreon's MCC (merchant code) may have changed to a "high risk" code associated with telemarketing, gambling, and porn sites. This may be resolved by telling the bank to allow high risk transactions.
