I sent an email to paypal requesting them to stop payments to me from a person, and I also asked them about the new adult policy. I asked if it was ok to still have emails registered on paypal thats adultrelated even if I dont sell anything adult related.

24hours later I get this email from them:

---------
Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for contacting PayPal.

We are sorry, but affiliate payments coming to an e-mail address
associated with an Adult site will not be allowed. You will need to
change those e-mail addresses in the PayPal system.

I have passed your other questions on to the proper department for
action.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us
again.
---------

Ok no problem, so I logged in and changed all my adult emails I had there, and contacted my sponsors to send to a regular emailaddy.

20 minutes later I get a new email from another person at paypal:

---------
Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for contacting PayPal.

Unfortunately, they isn't a way to there you are able to stop someone
from sending you a payment. You will be able to keep your email
address. You just can't sell adult items any more.
---------

First one tells me to change my adult emailaddys and the other one says its ok to still have them?

Sounds typical of any big company.

that's okay today I emailed them to ask how I can close my account because when I click the close account link it is giving a stupid error and their reply was "click the close account link in your control panel". I wrote back "Hello, did you ever READ my email, I'm getting an ERROR when I click that link" idiots...they're all idiots.

Well of course the second one is correct... if you didn't have any money in your account what good would it do to freeze it?
