I have phoned Paypal three times in the past 2 years (their Corporate Sales office) to ask if I could use them to accept payment for adult traffic. Each time I was told a flat out "no". It was against their AUP.

As far as I'm concerned any adult affiliate program using Paypal to make payments is trying to fly under the radar. Eventually, they will get caught.

Paypal will not unfreeze your account. They may hold it for up to 180 days (but usually less) before the let your withdraw your balance.

just think of your money as a cd with no interest :1orglaugh :helpme

You can get that reduced, and get your money back sooner.

You will need to write some letters, and CC a few folk, but within 24 hours of sending that email you will get a call and/or email from executive appeals, and they will go over your account, and when you will get your timely refund. You do not have to wait 6 mo..

:2 cents:

Paypal now uses routine credit checks if you are pushing a lot of volume through your PP account. I wanna say it's around $5-10k a year, but I do not recall off the top of my head now. They will run it on you personally, and/or your business EIN. As long as you are in good standing, you will rarely have any serious issue with them. If it comes back otherwise, you will have things "out of the blue" come up with your account.

This policy has been in place for a couple of years now, and definitely not new. What has probably changed is, you are pushing more volume through your account, transferring money out immediately (your bank account, paying vendors, etc.). Which in turn raises a red flag, and then they start poking around in your transaction history.

:2 cents:

funds processed thru a 3rd party can be intercepted,frozen,seized,delayed,shuffled...on any given day for the most VAGUE AND SHALLOW REASONS IMAGINEABLE.

of course the policy and standard P.R. script was somehow the horrible bad merchant managed to disobey the rules even if complete accident or misunderstanding....

acknowledge the fact that in a deteriorating collapsing world economy that the reasons and the seizures will continue to snowball.

You can take that to the bank

fuck paypal.
Let's use something else, we don't need them

When this happened to me a few years ago I discovered paypal has been sued twice under class action status for doing the same shit. Both times they settled for millions, admitted no wrong doing and continued doing the same thing. Apparently they make more from the interest on holding peoples money hostage than it costs to settle lawsuits.

You deserve what you got for being dumb.

nope nothing adult. Did say affiliate payout. The paypal account was a business type. Been fine for years. The explanation was very vague. One the phone they did tell say which transaction caused the issue. But the AUC dept can not be reached via phone and they suggested sending them an email.

I know several BIG adult affiliate programs have been openly paying through paypal for couple years or more already. The name of the program is often mentioned in PP notes or in the email domain. I'd assume that if any of their affiliate gets their account frozen due to these transactions, then the company's account would be frozen too. Makes me wonder why the issue is still so vague.

Yup, Ive been getting paid via Paypal from some well known adult companies for awhile now and no problems...hell I have had my Paypal account for 11 years now and never had an issue with them.

PayPal appeal denied

We regret to inform you that we cannot overturn the limitation on your
account. Due to the violation of PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy, your
account has been permanently limited.

Please refer to:
- Website/s: http://www.landofvenus.com

Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive
payments for certain sexually oriented materials or services or for items
that could be considered obscene.

----------------------------------------
Pretty silly to say Land Of Venus Is obscene. They have offered to send out payment a second time via check. I'm not trying to call them out. I hate posting their name. But I want to be clear that paypal is back on their anti-porn crusade. And hopefully you read this and it doesnt happen to you.

Very sorry for your loss...I hope you did not have a mortgage/rent/car/food payment that that money was set aside for.

I hope it was just extra and not something you desperately needed...that would totally suck banker balls

Not sure how you can say that. One click takes me to;

"Watch fit girl Veronika take it in the ass!"
"18 yr old Mira getting a cream pie"

I don't see how anyone could say that this site even comes close to falling within Paypal's AUP.

If you can't play by Paypal's rules, don't use them - seems pretty simple to me.

could be was more than 5-10k year and I was using it to cover operating exepenses
