Working outside platforms. Paypal automatically banned me
Summary
Working outside platforms creates real hurdles for cam models, especially when payment tools like PayPal block them repeatedly. I see how frustrating it is to chase a payment method that keeps shutting you down, and it pushes many to look for safer ways to get paid.
How Can Cam Models Avoid PayPal Bans When Working Outside Platforms?
I have attempted to open a PayPal account several times, each time submitting my own ID or a friend's ID, only to receive an automatic ban. Is my IP address being blocked, and how long does that restriction stay in place? What practical steps can I take to keep receiving payments when buyers specifically request PayPal?

What Steps Can I Take to Recover From a PayPal Ban While Still Accepting Payments?
After the bans I switched to a mobile hotspot and the account stayed active, but I still need a reliable way to receive money from buyers who insist on PayPal. Should I keep using mobile data, or is there a better approach to rebuild trust with buyers?
