Payment errors?! Update.

Hi,

some people contacted me saying that they can't make a pledge, please try and use the steps in the image above or use the Help Page from patreon.

I know this is a bummer for u, same here, I've lost a good part of the income that i got from this page, hopefully, things will get back on track, even tho i can't see that happening :( anytime sooner.

To all of those that are here, u have my appreciation and love!

If you see Ireland/Dublin on your charge it is from patreon as they moved their HQ.

*Not my text, took it from someone, but this is as it was written by me (hit me right in  the feels) :) it seems I'm not the only one that got hit so damn hard.

Payments marked as fraud
As some of you are aware, Patreon recently had an issue with a massive amount of payments being marked as Fraud, and some people even being force-unsubscribed from creator accounts. I am not clear on the reason behind these issues, but I've heard through the grapevine that it has something to do with them changing the address of where payments are processed (?), which caused the banks of individual Patrons to flag the payment as fraud. 

Patreon's solution to the payment problem
The solutions Patreon offers are as follows:
1. Contact your bank and let them know the charge is legitimate, and to retry the payment.
2. Change your payment method in your own payment settings.

Switch your payment options to PayPal, or some other option available to you, and try again.

Final thoughts
It's frustrating to the extreme, to be perfectly frank. I've lost a huge number of Patrons over this, which has essentially knocked me back about 2 years, in terms of growth. I'm hoping that the people who were forced out will find their way back, but only time will tell.
