    For the record, Paypal has allowed adult for at least a couple years now. What they don't allow is "digitally delivered [adult] goods." i.e. subscriptions, downloads, etc..

    Physical items, such as DVD's are perfectly fine, and I have an email from them stating as such.

      PayPal should set up a "high risk" version of itself for adult memberships, like maybe AdultPayPal or something, and charge 10% for adult transactions.

      Paypal would make money, and almost all adult sites would offer this option, so it would be a win-win for all.

      Until then, as people have already mentioned, you are still paying 15% to the 3rd party processor, and PayPal can still just reverse course and leave everyone out in the cold at the drop of a dime.

      It will be interesting to see where this goes...

        Question:


        How prevalent is Paypal in these European countries? If they are not, would this be considered a nice strategy to get market share/users in those countries?

            Has anyone actually tried to speak to Epoch?....
            Yah - I spoke to them on phone. At first I was told by their support that this Paypal billing is possible only at the UK, but their other support at - sells told me that this is possible on the territory of whole EU. They currently are working to make that happen worldwide.

            However they accepted a policy to work with Mastercard ( and thus their clients have to pay $500 annual fee ).

            I was told they convert better than CCbill...... and I use CCbill.

              I wonder if you can say no to MC - Then if someone wants to pay with MC they can use PP?..

              Will be interesting to see how this all pans out.....

                    We are pleased to inform you that Epoch has added PayPal as our newest payment type. We are launching a pilot program with PayPal to our European-based merchants and their European customers. This represents a major enhancement to our industry-leading processing platform, which already offers merchants the ability to accept more than 35 international payment types and process in 59 different currencies.

                    By adding a PayPal option, you will significantly increase your sales from people and places that do not favor traditional payment cards. You will also enjoy a distinct advantage in an industry that is rapidly diversifying to serve the mobile market, as PayPal is a mobile-friendly option.

                    We are honored to have been selected by PayPal for this pilot program, and are proud to offer this payment type to our clients. We agree with PayPal's approach to begin by offering this pilot exclusively in Europe. We look forward to continuing to work with PayPal and leading the industry in delivering quality payment options to our clients.

                    This pilot program is now being rolled out to our European merchants that accept our full suite of payment options. Integration is completely automatic and seamless, with PayPal transactions falling under the category of Additional Alternative Payments in our agreements.

                    We appreciate being your payment solution of choice. Feel free to contact your account representative if you have any questions.

                      Interesting why some of the EU countries have been excluded though, like Czech Republic, Slovakia or Poland to name a few.

                            This is pretty huge ... could be quite awesome for mobile billing.

                              Since I'm kinda new in this - I've been told that I'm able to use two payment processors at same time. One to be a primary. So far my clients appears to be only from US and Australia. And it smells to me like changing lanes with Epoch when Paypal is worldwide allowed

                                I asked them the same question, and I've been told " It would be silly not to sign with MC, since 30 % of the people worldwide are using it."
                                So like it or not /using it or not/ you pay them $500 annual for MC and f*ck off - basically that's what I understood.

                                      open a Delaware company , open a US bank account , declare your income to the IRS as an alien '' resident '' ,

                                      Had that with Epoch till 2-3 years ago when I closed my paysites.
                                      Bank account was pre-9/11 ( easier to open ) , as well as the company.
                                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                        I've always had trouble with Canadians and ukers who use maestro, switch, and solo. The program I use seemingly cannot process these cards for shit.. And the programs that can don't convert as well..

                                        As an affiliate, my top priority is always to match processors and cards before the first drop of traffic hits.

                                        Sadly I'm forced to purchase predominately US traffic (87%)..

                                                    Well and how Turkey and Israel are europe?

                                                    By the way if you want to print "Paypal" only to countries that supports it, you can do something like this in php:

                                                    $epoch_paypal_countries = array('AD', 'AT', 'BE', 'CY', 'DK', 'FI', 'FR', 'DE', 'GI', 'LU', 'GR', 'GL', 'IE', 'IS', 'IM', 'IL', 'IT', 'LI', 'MT', 'MC', 'NL', 'NO', 'PT', 'RO', 'SM', 'SI', 'ES', 'SE', 'CH', 'TR', 'GB', 'VA');
                                                    $showpaypal = in_array($_SERVER[GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE], $epoch_paypal_countries);

                                                    <? if ($showpaypal) { ?> PayPal click here <? } ?>

                                                    Note that Vatican shows paypal.

                                                                      CCBill is very meticulous & cautious in their business dealings, this is how they've sustained unprecedented longevity in the adult industry.

                                                                      I'm somewhat taken back that an Epoch end user broke the story about PayPal seemingly beta testing use with Epoch, and that it seems as though Epoch was forced to issue emails the following day notifying people of of the current "beta testing" of PayPal in EU.

                                                                        It looks like now they are for now, but maybe in the future they will allow others?

                                                                        We are honored to have been selected by PayPal for this pilot program
                                                                        So who knows PayPal will allow other adult processors as well in the future if they are happy with the results of the pilot.

                                                                          Same for Epoch, both have been around for 15 years.

                                                                          In regards to compliance (what sites/content they will process for) Epoch is stricter than CCBILL, so maybe that's why PayPal chose to work with Epoch first, but that's just a guess. Maybe they just had the right contacts. I'm sure this is something that has been in the works for months, if not years.

                                                                            Yeah it does look like that, but if they didn't want this to become public before an official press release they could have contacted some select clients to beta test this and have them sign an NDA or something. But even then other people could have noticed and posted about it.
