I use Patreon to post contents for members. Overall, Patreon offers better functionalities for membership subscription (like videos, etc.). It only creates issues for me as regards payments/subscriptions. So, it's basically valueless to me.With more and more of my supporters became paid members, I found I actually couldn't withdraw the money via PayPal because they said my country is not supported. What a joke! I use PayPal every day and people pay me via PayPal since ages ago (at least over 20 years). Patreon is the only company that says I can't use it. Of course, there is another option, which is Payoneer, but they charge much more fees and monstrous Annual Account Fee ($29.95) for my country if I receive less than 2,000 USD!!! This is a complete rip-off. Then I decide to refund my supporters and pause billing. Strangely, new subscribers can still pay me and become paid members! This is very frustrating. Now I have to refund each time when someone pays me. Despite I write a pinned post telling people not to pay and unsubscribe from paid members, there are still remaining paid members. Probably they don't know how to unsubscribe.I hope Patreon can resolve such issues as soon as possible and I would be more than happy to change the rating.
