posty 1,659 Posted January 7 You can use LeagueSafe... Just don't put anything about fantasy in there... Use something like "Donation to help pay for flowers at funeral" or "Help pay tab for team dinner"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it would be safer to only accept one paypal/venmo transaction for dues instead of all of them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 117 Posted January 7 Never heard of that. Paypal you just send the money, the program doesn't know if it's for FFL or not. So the restriction has nothing to do with FFL, but maybe something regarding Japan and international payments. If Paypal won't work, go for venmo, bank wire or western union. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 117 Posted January 7 ok, that sucks. If you just send money to one person don't see the issue as they don't even know what the money is for and there is no pattern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rotisserieking 21 Posted January 7 Well I've sued PP and Venmo quite successfully for countless years and never had an issue. I plan on continuing to do so. All you have to do is check the friends and family box and seriously how would they ever know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 415 Posted January 9 I've been told accounts are getting frozen for all dollar amounts $600 and up. Anything less has been business as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would make sense, since that's the point at which the payer would be required to submit a 1099 tax form for the payee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
