Paypal out of adult completely
 

Just got the email:

We are writing to inform you that PayPal has updated its Acceptable Use Policy to simplify the policy on transactions of adult items. After June 12, 2003, PayPal will no longer process transactions for adult items through the Mature Audiences category on eBay.com. As a result, after June 12, PayPal will no longer process payments for adult items anywhere on the Internet.

PayPal strives to find the right balance between serving our community and minimizing our financial risk. We feel that exiting the Mature Audiences category with a clear and consistent policy for all adult items best achieves this balance.

How This Affects Your PayPal Account

As part of this effort, we are extending the deadline for when PayPal customers must stop sending and receiving payments for tangible adult products, including magazines, DVDs and videocassettes. Originally May 12, this deadline has now been extended to June 12 to correspond with the phase-out of PayPal service for these items on eBay.

The deadline to stop receiving payments for digital adult products and services, including online photos, streaming video and phone or other audio services, will remain May 12 for PayPal merchants who have registered through PayPal's digital adult merchant process. Merchants who have not registered can not process payments for these digital adult products and services at any time.

You may keep your PayPal account open after the respective deadlines of May 12 and June 12, on a good faith basis. Your transaction history will still be viewable online, and you may continue to withdraw funds under your current account guidelines. Reserves for accounts with rolling reserves will continue to operate, with reserves ending 180 days after the receipt of the last transaction. Because you are not being required to close your PayPal account, your account access may be limited if it is determined that your account activity violates PayPal's policy on adult content.

what about paypal payment design?

we are just gonna have to name the transactions other than paysite payment, logo payment.

fuck paypal :ak47:

So we can still do things like pay for traffic deals it looks like? Since that's not a tangible adult product like a magazine.

This is such bullshit but it was inevitable. I predict that it is only a matter of time before the adult category is pulled from eBay entirely.

what I want to know, what is the alternative???

let's not forget to predict that Visa will stop processing adult as well...


:helpme

the end is near :helpme

I'll post this for 12clicks to save him the keystrokes...


The sky is falling...

thanks for watchin' my back Jimmy:thumbsup

You're almost right. But there's a chance for your a/c to be frozen anyways. F.ex. if your transactions are considered suspicious or something.

I can think of a better way to avoid direct payments from/to your paypal a/c. What if you get an account with a online payment system you know (that provides paypal payments as a service) and send and receive paypal payments through the system's paypal account which has nothing to do with adult?

Hi,
please go on icq I left you a msg. thank you.

edit: this is unrelated to this post, your partner is not online so I need to talk to someone from your site asap.

"what I want to know, what is the alternative?"

Look at my signature! You are getting sleepy...

What you say? <i>StormPay replaces Paypal?</i>

"The deadline to stop receiving payments for digital adult products and services, including online photos, streaming video and phone or other audio services"

seems to include adult services, which looks like it includes anything adult related.
