I don't really think paypal actively tries to find people that violate their terms. Every time someone's account gets closed it's because the account was flagged for some other reason first: chargeback, suspicious activity.. etc... Then while investigating the account, they just find out it's doing adult related processing, and shut it down. I could be wrong though... :-/

Kimmykim 03-20-2004 03:51 PM

Choker and I had a talk yesterday afternoon, he's being very pro-active in handling his business.

On another note -- you guys know Paypal gets like this... and it doesnt help that people rat out their competition all the time, just making Paypal even more likely to search harder.

Choker 03-20-2004 04:45 PM

I think epassporte will be the main service people use. Yahoodirect is pretty slick though, you can pay thru your yahoo account and charge a cc. So it is the same as if I had my own merchant account.

myjah 03-20-2004 04:55 PM

*note to self - do not leave any money in paypal account

jimmyf 03-20-2004 05:56 PM

I closed my paypal account and it wasn't an adult email addy.
2 many horror stories.

This is crazy, looks like they have a bunch of Bible Huggers working there now.

For the first time, I am starting to think that I should vote for J. Kerry, cuz if Bush wins, we may face an obcenity war from the Bible huggers :(

Yes you are really smart. WTF does Bush have to do with Paypal. Paypal has nothing to do with government period you moron. This is why they can do what they do. They are not regulated.

Yes because adult webmasters make up a majority of their business not old ladys on ebay bidding.

Thanks for the braindump.

I would only keep in there what you are prepared to loose because at the end of the day ity can and does happen.

skillfull 03-21-2004 12:20 AM

time to make a visit at the atm each day to take out the maximum money i can ;)

Alex Xe 03-21-2004 04:04 AM

No there will always be some clowns who think they are safe. How long have they been kicking out adult and how long have we been having these threads?

Seems some will never learn, we're for ever being asked "Do you take Paypal".

I am hoping epassporte can help me out here and get the guys I buy and sell with accounts if they do not have them. This is a good opportunity for epassporte to open up a few hundred new accounts.
Sounds good, wires are the way to go! :thumbsup

hmm i never had a problem with paypal, been using them for the last 3 years.

i even use a domain with the word sex :)

Trace 03-21-2004 09:51 AM

I don't get it. Someone with a legitimate online business, let's say selling books, that use paypal for their transactions could get shut down because someone with an adult email addy paid for said books? That makes no sense.

I'm canadian and it's nice to have american money on hand which is why I never withdraw from Paypal. Just use it to buy american stuff.

So if something does happen and my account gets shut down, is there any steps to take to get the money owed?

We are also looking for Merchant Account solutions. So far the bank we deal with in Canada has told us FAT CHANCE. Anyone have more information on that iKobo program?
I went to the website: almost seems to easy?

synergysex 03-21-2004 11:44 AM

I have been telling people about how bad PayPal is for a long time and most people tell me its all in my head. Oh well, they'll learn for themselves when they wake up one day and find their account locked up.

Could consider 2CheckOut depending on what you are selling. They dont accept most adult products, but they do accept lingerie sales, fetish sites (if no nudity is shown), web design and *maybe* traffic brokers and some other sidelines. They also take dating sites now. But they wont allow anything with nudity in it - the fetish sites are kinda borderline.

Yep it's very easy, I had a merchant account set up in 5 minutes. Already recieved 3 payments thru it. Everything seems fine so far. Also they have a program where I can send atm cards to affiliates, and then I can add money to their card from my admin. This would be perfect for the affiliates I pay out for traffic. Any lurkers in here that have a account at SMT? Would this work for you? Takes a week to get the card initially. Then everytime you requested a payout in SMT I could jsut send the money to your card.

riosluts 03-21-2004 11:46 AM

The closest thing I would go with is Epassporte. Its more widely used than any other payout system out there. I've never heard of half these other online bank companies

Agreed. I prefer epassporte above all other options, the problem is that so many guys cannot get epassporte accounts. I would be happy using ONLY epassporte.

Don't you have to fax/send them all sorts of info (ikobo) when you reach a certain limit of turnover?

I hate Epassporte

It's really an ordeal to set up an account

It's more expensive then most I tried

To name a few of many more reasons not to want to use them.

To be honest simple wires I like best no bells & whistles just wire to my bankaccount.

No fuzz

You won't. Accept it. You will also be fined. That happened to me about 2 years ago, and I have never used them again. My account is negative 40 something dollars today.
