You only complicated things for us developers. It was good when was earlier, where I just had to only connect my paypal account, now I must do some tax crap at your site which I dont understand and have no help at all from anyone.
You really disappointed me, I think I will look for other place, where it will be less complicated to me to post my game and earn money.
Not mentioning I must give my personal data to someone who I don't know.
I’m sorry, but the way things are going with PayPal, they require more identity verification to enable you to collect money for distributing goods. Sending money is a high risk activity so it’s going to be very rare to find a platform that lets you get paid without providing any information about who you are. You can continue to use the old system, but we can’t guarantee it will be around forever (it has already been deprecated by PayPal), and we can’t guarantee customers will have an easy time using it. We’ve gotten countless reports of the old system breaking down, rejecting payments, and other oddities that are outside of our control. When something like that breaks, people blame itch.io and it looks bad on us, despite it not being something within our control. I hope you understand that we have to migrate developers off this old system.

You’re sharing our tax information with our third party tax processor who we have used for thousands of developers. This is the same company that Steam uses for their tax processing. The majority of our sellers use the payouts system and work withing our legal requirements for tax collection. This part of itch.io is not new, as we launched it a few years back.
Thanks
