Well it finally happened..

I, too, got shut down by PayPal.

Only had $4 in the account as I was smart and withdrew as soon as I got payments.

Paypal.


---------------------------
Dear Patrick Moore,

The PayPal User Agreement states that PayPal, at its sole discretion,
reserves the right to close an account for any violation of the User
Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy. Under the Acceptable Use
Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments or donations for
obscene or sexually oriented goods or services. The complete Acceptable
Use Policy addressing Mature Audiences can be found at the following URL:

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...side&ed=mature

We are hereby notifying you that, after a recent review of your account
activity, it has been determined that you are in violation of PayPal's
Acceptable Use Policy. Therefore, your account has been closed.

If you have a remaining balance, we will be issuing this to you by check.
Please log in to your PayPal account and verify that your account
information is accurate, as PayPal cannot be held responsible for incorrect
information provided by the account holder.

You will need to remove all references to PayPal from your website(s)
and/or auction(s). This includes not only removing PayPal as a payment
option, but also the PayPal logo and/or shopping cart. We thank you in
advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact
the PayPal Compliance Department at [email protected].

Sincerely,
PayPal Compliance Department
PayPal, an eBay Company

Consider yourself lucky for having it open for so long. Most of us got shut down over a year ago.

That's what I've noticed.. I thought I could get away with it until they updated their Acceptable Use policy this month to include adult-oriented designs that don't have adult content themselves.

Tricky bastards

For a long time I was using just my email address through my mainstream site ([email protected]) to accept payments from Dynamixxx.com, but I launched TGPFactory.com and added '[email protected]'. I'm assuming they just went thru the domains associated with my email addresses and saw that it was adult-oriented. Doh! I probably could've gotten away with it for far longer had I not done that.

At least I went to the ATM tonight so they only kept $4

I opened a MoneyBookers account several weeks ago, have yet to verify my identify (you have to fax them copies of your ID and such), but I already have money waiting for me in there.. hopefully that will become more widespread throughout adult and I won't run into any billing problems.

I also setup a Merchant account thru DirectNIC so I can accept credit card payments, and that should cover most of my sales..
