Exactly. And how the fuck is it any different than Ebay's Adult section? People on there are selling tons of porn and are paying with and accepting Paypal payments.

Exactly and they have been doing it for ages, go figure....

HunkyLuke · 10-06-2010, 05:42 AM

I have sent them a request for information specifically saying PORN and affiliate payments...will report back once I get their response

10-06-2010, 05:42 AM

theyre gonna freeze you and your friends

ajrocks · 10-06-2010, 05:45 AM

I wonder if PayPal wants to give back all the money they took from affiliates and programs when they shut down their accounts for being adult. They should GFY. Douche Bags.

So I wouldn't mind using it to get some payments. It is easier then waiting for checks and going to put them in the banks.

Wrong!!
I had a paypal account that was 100% squeaky clean. A sponsor I was working with, who used paypal a great deal sent me a couple thousand dollars to pay small expenses in his absence (ordering banners, buying domains etc.) Within 20 minutes of the payment being deposited they froze my account. The person that sent the money did not get their account frozen.

I called, emailed and did everything I could to find out what the problem was and was basically told that their TOS allowed them to freeze any account for any reason for investigation. They do not have to tell you what they are investigating and they can freeze your funds for 180 days (6 months). From everything I found on the net at the time, no one EVER got their money back before the 180 days was up. Strangely enough, 99% did get all of their money back and 100% were never told why their account was frozen.

In my case after 180 days my account was no longer locked but my funds were still frozen. I contacted them and they said that all I had to do was request the funds. I did, they released them within a day. I removed the money and haven't used the account since. It is almost as if they make you request the money hoping you will have just forgotten about it. I would never use them to accept payments.

to those affiliates who would like to receive their funds in that way.

They are not purchasing anything from us and we are not purchasing
anything from them. Simply paying them for the commissions they earn.
Would this be acceptable use by PayPal. I want to make absolutely
sure that this will not cause funds to be frozen by PayPal in the future
if we use this method as a payment option.'

Did you put a link to your 17 site in the email?

Show them some galleries and tell them it's for sign ups via this type of content onto a site full of this type of content.

SlammedMedia · 10-06-2010, 06:09 AM

I just wrote them a detailed email asking them. I also asked for an explanation on how eBay members can sell porn and use Paypal to accept payments -- I'll post their reply once I receive it.

Tjeezers · 10-06-2010, 06:20 AM

I fail to read in their replay some things. And therefor i think you got a Copy Past as a replay. The desk worker searched on the term AFFILIATES in his Q & A script, and does not confirm your situation as an Adult Company

Their answer avoids any words related to that, so I am not convinced this desk worker fully understood or acknowledged your business situation.

A more personal replay from there, where they also make a difference themselves about Adult Products and Adult Affiliates is what I need

Davy · 10-06-2010, 06:26 AM

I was selling a nude calendar with paypal two years ago. I could ask my contact from back then if they allow adult payments.
Since I am not going to use paypal for anything adult related, I'm not going to give this guy a call, though.

do you SEE a link in my e mail to them Paul? You quoted it so it should be easy to tell. I presented their reply, was asked to present the e mail I sent (actually what I filled out in the form on their site) and I did both.

>Individual payments cannot exceed $10,000.00 USD.
Considering the fact that there are programs sending out $200,000+ payments every 2 weeks this is a silly option.

Your response was silly.

They're sending out $200,000 dollars in "payments", but not as a single "payment".

maybe because ebay is an enviroment controlled by THEM, so they control what is being sold. with 3rd party sellers who knows when the ho is over 18 or not? they can only stop it by not allowing it. with ebay they just delete the shit.

true but the question put to them (PayPal) was not in regards to memberships but specifically about affiliate payments. However, as many have pointed out I neglected to make some sort of declaritive statement in my question explaining that I work for a

"PORN COMPANY", one that "SELLS MEMBERSHIPS TO PORN SITE FEATURING NAKED PEOPLE HAVING SEX AND LIKING IT"

or maybe I should have said "OMG! EVERYTHING IS LITERALLY BATHED IN CUM, OH GOD THE HUMANITY! can you process payments to our PORN AFFILIATES FOR PORN PORNO PORN!"

Just so I could have been a bit more specific in my query since I must assume that whoever is reading the question I sent is actually a trained chimp in a far off country that heard someone say 'Hi' in English once but that was years ago

My site was actually accepted by Paypal to sell memberships to surfers. It is a non nude foot fetish site and they said I can go ahead and start accepting payments. I never did but I wonder if they would suspend my account anyway.

Eat too much of that squeaky cheese and you won't be flying home. They'd strap you down to a tilt-n-load and ship you back to Colonel Sandersville.

HunkyLuke · 10-08-2010, 11:47 AM

I heard back from PayPal again today, after providing them with further information including my HunkMoney site URL and explicitly mentioning that this is a PORN affiliate program and that I want to use PayPal ONLY for b2b affiliate payouts. Their response was:

Quote:

Thank you very
much for providing us with your website and the information regarding
what you would like to use PayPal for. Unfortunately, we are not able
to extend our services to you for this website http://hunkmoney.com. We
do appreciate your inquiry. Have a great weekend!

So as far as I can tell, adult (even b2b) is not an option!

Loch · 10-08-2010, 11:55 AM

i would NEVER trust them for something like that.
they have been KNOWN to freeze accounts in seconds with zero warning, and usually takes 3-6 months to get your funds back

Edit: i would want a strong contract with them before even considering this option.

minicivan · 10-08-2010, 11:56 AM

This is a mistake.

You should call her back and say "Hello, I run "runaway teen whores with assholes full of cum" and then explain what you want to do. Your answer will not only be different, there will be a long, uncomfortable pause and awkward silence.

I've had my account frozen over the years at least 10 times. Not once has it taken 6 months to get it back, they only do that for TOS violations or other dirty shit.

Argos88 · 10-08-2010, 12:11 PM

Im not surprised, because paypal has been processing some "almost adult" dating sites and also it has processed many adult forums...

However we are always in risk of having the account freeze. we can never be sure. but anyway, is still good news.

cykoe6 · 10-08-2010, 12:24 PM

Based on lots of pain in the past I would never trust them personally.

MaDalton · 10-08-2010, 12:37 PM

i use them all the time, but neither from my email or the message subject you can tell it's adult. and i ask my clients first what their email is. only once someone used an adult domain for his paypal account i dealt with, but also that went through fine.
