PLEASE CHECK YOUR PAYMENT METHODS

And here I thought I had just goofed something up with my paypal. Glad to hear its getting fixed!

Yeah, it's DEFINITELY a Patreon problem - but it's such a weird one, and definitely the first time it's happened to me. I've heard other people having problems every once in awhile like this, but I don't know if it affected so many of their Patrons like it did on this one. Either way, we were all on top of it, and we know to keep an eye out for it now. Thank you so much for sticking with me through this, sorry for the trouble.

Meg Syv

Thank goodness!! I'm very sorry for all the confusion about this.

Meg Syv

Yeah, Patreon took a look and confirmed it was a glitch specifically affecting this account - luckily, we were all on top of it and with the information y'all gave me to forward to them, they were able to resolve it pretty quickly. Thank you so much!

Meg Syv

At least it went through, I guess...? Your experience seems to be the most common one so far, thank you so much for letting me know what's going on for you!!

Meg Syv

Thank goodness! Thank you for letting me know!

Meg Syv

Hello. I'm international and wanted to let you know that my patreon receipt has been processed yesterday, so it's all fine. (All the others had been processed on hte 2 November.)

Stein

Mine finally went through, I got a separate receipt and Paypal email. I know it wasn't a Paypal problem, because Patreon takes my pledges out of my incoming balance before I pay it out, and yours just wasn't on there this time. I hope this doesn't happen again! I know my dollar doesn't go far, but man, that's a lot of people's dollars to miss out on unexpectedly.

Amy Crook

I think now it went through twice, but don't worry about refunds, buy yourself a coffee. :)

GracieV

My transaction went through fine, apparently.

RaptorusMaximus

PayPal sent me a message this morning that your pledge had gone through. Weird that it specifically skipped yours.

Skywings14

I got a receipt today, but I didn't get it earlier with my other pledges sooo...

HMMM. Give it another go in a couple hours, and let me know if you still have any troubles! Maybe it just needs some time to reset itself.

Meg Syv

Trying to fix it, but it seems to be locking up when I update the screen :(

Royce Day

I confirmed from my November Patreon receipt that my pledge to you had not gone through, although all my other pledges were listed as expected. So I tried the lower-then-raise strategy hoping to shake the money loose and into your pockets. Hopefully that won't cause any complications, but if I do get charged twice, you keep it!

Mine also processed this morning, but I'm State side so I don't know if that's helpful or not

Renee

I got an email saying they charged me this morning (I didn't change my pledge at all), so hopefully they got it fixed? And I don't know about emails, but I am still getting app notifications about this post.

I saw that my pledge was processed this morning and thought it was odd to go through so late, but I trusted ya, and moved onto my next email. :D I will check my beginning of the month Patreon receipt better after this to see if something loopy happens again -- I'm so sorry I didn't notice earlier!

Mary Williams

(EDIT: i did my maths wrong. No overcharge here!) Paypal records look like I was double-charged but dont worry about refunding mine! My contribution is smol so I don't mind. Hope things get sorted out!

Mia Pearce

WEIRD. Thank you so much for this information. Hopefully it will help us get to the bottom of things. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything from Patreon, but what a mystery this is!

Meg Syv

Let me know if you're charged twice or multiple times because of this and I'll issue you some refunds for all the unnecessary charges. Thank you very much and I'm sorry for the trouble!!

Meg Syv

THANK GOODNESS! That's great! That must be because of the Patreon Techs, bless 'em. Thank you for letting me know!

Meg Syv

Please let me know if you get charged twice because of this and I'll issue you a refund for one of the pledges! I'm so sorry for all the trouble.

Meg Syv

YO THAT'S NO GOOD Do you mind sending me the details on that? I can forward that information along to the techs and get it straightened out. I'm really really sorry about that.

Meg Syv

I've just gone and issued you a refund for the unnecessary extra charge - which is probably a result of me advising people to delete and then re-pledge as a solution, I'm very very sorry about that! Thank you for being so loyal and patient. I'm really thankful.

Meg Syv

Yup, that sounds about right! Hopefully everyone will be all caught up on the things they've missed soon - I wonder what happened?

Meg Syv

I have a receipt from November's pledges, but when I looked today, I was not pledged to you! I re-pledged, so we'll see how it works. O:

Mia Pearce

I re-upped a few days ago, and then they just charged me again today. I went through my bank to dispute the second charge, since the second charge caused an over-draft.

JeanetteB

I got a charge just for you, presumably what was dropped earlier this month. I didn't do anything at all though, so if you didn't get an email or push notification from patreon I suggest poking at the other suggestions in this post.

Zwei

I just got the charge going through today, a few hours before I got an email about this post for the first time! There must've been something really wrong on their backend or something. :/

Erica L

Didn't change anything about my pledge the other day (in case patreon decided to botch it further and double charge or something awful while "fixing"), and just got a separate email and charge on my card for this pledge. Everything's looking good on my end, hopefully you got it this time!

Jessica K

I feel like Im getting charged the American inflation fee, which hasnt happened before, w tf

Lady of Monsters

seems I was not charged. I repledged and got charged so.. it's sorted, as far as this month is concerned.

Little_me

Seems Patreon went through just fine for me!

Madison

I just went into the pledge, changed the number up and down (I dunno if I really needed to do that) and then updated and it went through, I hope they fix it by the next billing :)

Sniper

I had to re-pledge. I hope Patreon fixes this and you get all your money in the end.

PositronicGirl

I upped my payment and it went through! I'm glad I saw your Tumblr post <3

So I didn't show a payment going through to you this month. I re-upped and now I can see the posts I couldn't prior to doing that. But now I checked my billing history and it STILL doesn't show I've made a payment to you. All the others were paid out. I'll check a little later in the day and see if it went through and try again. So sorry this is happening to you. ETA: I see the payment just went through, whew...

GracieV

I also reupped, but it was noticeably weird for mine I think only because I was in the $20 one (which the site didn't realize it existed until I dropped to 15 and then back up to 20). thanks for the heads up! <3

i reupped, what the heck! this is the weirdest patreon error ever... and they've had some doozies

Gally

Yup: Checking my patreon billing history it DEFINITELY skipped you this month for no reason I can fathom. Upped my pledge, and it looks like the payment is registered now. Here's hoping this gets all sorted out for you!

Updated mine and I can see the uploads on your page again. Patreon is right knacking me off for this, goodness knows you must be sick of it

Black Ice Gryphon

Hey no worries. It wasn't hard and didn't take more than 30 seconds, even on mobile.

Raye.Guns

There's a chance that you may be one of the rare few that this did not affect - either way, thank you for taking the time to do the troubleshooting anyway! I'm sorry for the trouble!

Meg Syv

I edited my pledge down and then back up where it was. I also can't tell if it worked because all my patrons come out of the came card. My total looked right on my statement. Either way, I hope it helps get things under control for you. That's so frustrating.

Raye.Guns

Thank you, Kristin! I'm so sorry for the trouble!

Meg Syv

I think I've fixed the issue with mine now. I had to do the "select a lower tier and then the original one" fix, and it looks like it might be split up into two payments as a result, but it should be good next month!

That's on my docket for today! I had hoped to send a single message out en masse to all Patrons whose payments were not processed, but that specific feature is NOT working right now, which means I have to manually send 400+ private messages as a workaround. (Yikes.) I honestly don't have time for that right now as I'm at my dayjob, but I'll be getting on that as soon as I can! Thank you very much for letting me know about the lack of email notifications, as well - I'm taking a screenshot of this information for my records and will be making private messages a priority.

Meg Syv

Oh!! That's great!! Thank you for letting me know!! I'll update the post to include this information.

Meg Syv

Thank you, Mario! You're not the first one that I've heard this from. I hope it's okay if I take a screenshot of this information for my records!

Meg Syv

It's a little hard to tell when individual payments don't go through, but all of mine are through a single paypal, and I have no idea why your payment didn't happen, when so many others' did. Anyway, I've taken care of that now!

Mario Nigrovic

I found I was able to fix the problem by just re-selecting my pledge, so that might work for others as well

Might want to send out PMs if you can, I'm not getting emails like I should when you post things right now even if they're public. I'm only seeing it because I was in here checking on the issue after seeing it on twitter.
