High number of declined pledges
🕑 Added 2018-08-02 17:28:16 +0000 UTC Many creators have been reporting on the Patreon official forum about an huge increase of declined pledges. Most of this problems may be because patreon moved their processor from the US to the UK, making banks marking payments as fraud.One of the Patreon mods, Mindy, is recomending declined users calling their banks or using another payment method like Paypal.

would I get a note of it if there were to be affected? I never had any issues on my paypal charges so far tho
Blitzdrachin
Nah, you can xd, patreon is responsible and take measures to work with paypal without problems, even if it has nsfw content.

I'm using PayPal, and 4 of my 5 were declined, but the 5th went through.

Good to know as they declined to process my payment to another creator citing that reason. Anyways all good
Blitzdrachin
Using paypal for nsfw patreon pages are an exception to that rule as long Patreon is following their own ToS :)

It's nice to know it wasn't just me. Mine worked after retrying half a dozen times. I had plenty of money in the bank and my card works fine. I don't know what's going on.

Oh, that's why.

Blitz, PayPal doesn’t allow nsfw content makers so they will be blocked. It’s also card dependent as my main card for patreon kept declining the transaction but my secondary (which both are issued by same bank) worked
Sam Spencer
Mine should still be working
