Does one need to accept both Visa and Mastercard or is it possible to just accept Visa and still be able to use Paypal?Buying sites with income, paying by paxum, hit me upComment

I'm just kinda shocked that Epoch doesn't want my business. Especially since I just looked at Epoch's site and see they are charging 15% rates!!!! Holy shit!
That's 15% off of the Paypal sales I could be making straight into their pockets...I guess it just isn't worth it to them.-Robbie

You quoted earlier a post that answered this. It is part of the terms Paypal made them agree to.Comment

So Paypal made them agree that they could only allow their customers to use Paypal if they also used Visa and Mastercard through Epoch?
Not only doesn't that make any sense...but I doubt it would even be a legal agreement.
I don't think Paypal would give two shits if someone was a client of Epoch and used MC or Visa. Why on Earth would that even be of any interest to Paypal.
I'd say it's just a business decision by Epoch. No big deal. It's their company. And I'm sure at 15% processing fees that they want their customers to use them in every way.
Makes sense.
Just seems like they would also want to grab the extra business from people who already have their own merchant accounts and don't need their credit card processing.-Robbie

IMHO i think PayPal only had issues with porn membership sites, as they have been processing porn on E-Bay for years. Look under ADULT on e-bay to see what i mean. Sending out physical items such as DVD's Pictures and dildo's is way less of a chargeback risk

I think it could be a credibility thing. Paypal can to some degree assume the due diligence has already been done on the sites Epoch is processing for. For example, anytime you launch a new site on Epoch or CCBILL, Visa has its own review process of the new site, which is why it takes 20 days sometimes to get all the payment options listed on the checkout page. If you were only able to list Paypal as an option (even with a merchant account), there would be no real consistent vetting process of the content you were selling.
Also, I am sure Paypal took into account how much volume Epoch does , their track record of charge backs, etc. I am sure getting Paypal on board was a long process with all kinds of terms. Notice how they started with the EU first and then moved to the USA? I wouldn't be surprised if the EU was the test phase to see how it did. If it was easy to get Paypal on board, one would assume CCBILL and many others would all have this option.Comment

Great job guysWe've operated a pilot program in the EU for the past year and we had such success that we were able to expand into other markets.
PayPal still does not allow individual accounts to accept payments in this merchant category code. But through our agreement with them we can offer this option as part of our suite of payment types.
We are very excited about the new possibilities this expansion presents.

Yes, I use PayPal for adult DVDs so does adultdvdempire and other companies. Never had a problem doing so.The Only Time When Success Comes Before Work Is In A Dictionary.
