That would really fucking suck if they closed both accounts.

Guess it's time to get those thumbs out of my ass and get an ePass account.

I think maybe its time to pull the few bucks I have and run...lol

paypal just shut my account down (which i've been using for 4+ years).

motherfuckers .... they said what i was using it for was FINE, then a year later they shut it down. they are nazis.

LOL, this is nothing more than a burp for me. Already added in epassporte,moneybookers,yahoodirect,money orders, wires,checks into my payment system. Will add more options soon. Most of my big buyers already send wires or checks anyway

soon they wont have anyone left ;)

I got kind of scared when Lens bought my sig, because it says the payment is from Adult.com.

Not with the fees this would cost. I have a very slim profit margin as it is. this would really hurt me.

time to delete my adult e-mail and only use the isp one...

:321GFY to Paypal - got a chargeback even though I provided proof of delivery. Now I have to wait up to 75 days to see if I'm gettign money back.

Western Union is another option

50 Paypal Sux .................








i only use there e-check payment option.. my balance is like $3 so they can never fuck me..

Interesting :mad:

Hmmm
Thank you for the wake up call.
Seems like I did not hear the buzz sometimes before..

caught for doing what?

PayPal Reps lurk GFY watching to see who posts their PayPal email, to save them time.

are you retarded? read the thread?

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... :-/

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.

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.

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

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

You should also add http://ikobo.com/ good one to use

sucks!

Well this is disturbing news.

I think I am going to make a withdrawl, right about.....now.

:winkwink:

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.

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

I hate paypal.

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".

Sounds good, wires are the way to go! :thumbsup

Thanks a million. I set up a merchant account with them so now I can accept credit cards

:helpme

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 :)

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?

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.
