Mastercard is REALLY trying to pass the buck off onto banks (who, granted, ARE part of the problem but its still mostly MC and Visa)
do as Ana says here and tell them your bank told you to contact THEM. easy way to tack on more time in the call

if youre calling paypros and looking for a talking point to use as a jumping off point, this is a great angle to go for!
alongside just wasting their time, hammer the idea that their actions are LOSING them money!

I know it's more about clogging their phone lines but I also feel like telling them their stupid policies might prevent (or HAVE prevented) you from getting certain Black Friday deals and that you feel forced to seek other payment methods MIGHT be a good angle for this point in time specifically

Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD.
Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

Lots of "don't write 'commission' in PayPal's feedback box for invoices" misinfo/fearmongering going around.
Yes, PayPal is censoring nsfw/queer artists like other payment processors. No, the word 'commission' will not get you flagged unless youre taking Friends & Family payments for commissions.
