I'd stay away regardless. I just had a PP account frozen because I sold too much stuff :) Only one person hadn't received their PS3, the rest did; all the tracking numbers clearly displayd that. Yet PayPal wants me to 'prove' I had them lmao. Mother fuckers!

Suppose when you consider Adam & Eve has been around.. 35(?) plus years and with a solid bricks and mortar business track record and employing 350-400 ish staff, - there is little reason why any net transactor would not deal with them.

The scenario is kinda different to a few guys/girls operating websites with little or no solid physical base or management experience - the risk element is obviously higher for eg PayPal under these circumstances. (Plus, it's a lot more work mangaging 1000's of smaller merchants who may often have a biz career on the next of a couple of years)

PayPal was OK with adult years ago and even had a rep speak to webmasters at an adult convention to get our business. Then later they pulled the plug on us. They could do it again

aaah yes ;-) they even sent a rep to australia to chat to a few companies ... he came to a bbq at my home, but when paypal pulled the plug I didn't receive so much as an email warning me ... found out on a board.

but even with all that said ... I'd still use them to process adult products because it is the single best converting billing method, and you can withdraw your money daily.

Just take the risk that you are prepared to accept the consequences of!

I doubt it's processing 'adult' as one big lump of filth.

My thought here is the word, 'tangibles'.... i.e. toys, DVD, video, etc.

The rules for tangibles are different that for memberships, clips, or untangibles as defined by VISA/M.C.

:2 cents:

Shhh... Logic is not welcome here at GFY.

Nice deal if you've got the resources to exploit it. :P I imagine competition will quickly get fierce.

Seven Life sentences from Paypal. That is too funny.

Apparently PayPal will now accept adult merchandise sites on a "case by case" basis (hard goods only, dvds toys etc.), but as of now still has no plans to accept membership or content sites.

Has anyone else heard this? Has anyone else on here been "approved"?

Paypal do indeed seem to be backing porn in one way or another, here in the UK at least.

In the UK we have a mobile phone network called "3" (www.three.co.uk)
One of the functions of this network is called "see me tv"

Basically people can upload clips of themselves masturbating, showing their tits etc.

Each time a "surfer" downloads a clip, the sender of the video gets paid a percentage and according to this page,
payment is made via paypal :

http://www.three.co.uk/personal/cust...=1128010467006


Trouble is, paypal's mature policy page clearly states this :

Digital Goods
PayPal prohibits transactions for all sexually oriented digital goods. Digital goods include downloaded pictures or videos, subscriptions to websites, or other content delivered through a digital medium.

Thoughts???
