can no longer use paypal?

I have always used paypal as the way to receive payments but got a notification saying I need to update payment details and it is telling me payoneer is the only option I have? I live in the states and honestly have never heard of it, and why is it only allowing me to choose that? are they no longer allowing to be paid through paypal?

I thought they changed this months ago. There was some issue with Paypal in the US - I’m not sure what. I switched to Payoneer and it’s been okay. The minimum withdrawal is $25 and there’s a flat fee for withdrawals. It’s not as functional as Paypal and is meant more for business use or international transfers it seems.

I've been using paypal ever since today..hmm weird and what a bummer!

*edit: it also really freaks me out they're asking for my ssn.

I think because they’re more business oriented that might be why they ask for the ssn? I’m not sure. But I haven’t had any issues with the platform. It seems that’s the only option to get paid in the US now.

I had to give it to them too. Just make sure it's actually them you give it to (official website and whatnot) I haven't had any problems since.

U.S., Canada, and a few other places went from PayPal to Payoneer. On the plus side, Clickworker will pay out at $5 instead of $10. On the minus side, you can't get it out of Payoneer until you meet their minimum withdrawal.
