Paypal got me too.
 

Yeah yeah I know, I was a dumbass. But I did not violate their fucking terms. Anyway I got moneybookers, yahoo direct and epassporte. Any others I should consider?

Well now that really sucks big time choker.

i still havent got caught

Damn, that sucks.
Epassporte would be better if the fees were not so high, in my opinion

shit....paypal is really starting to scare me..... everytime i read a story about them its negative...

That's Sucks! Those guys are fuckers!!

they have been on a shutting down FRENZY lately :(

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully they did not lock down any substantial funds in doing so.

I have always had a fear of keeping / sending any decent amount via pay pal.

Read the stories in www.paypalsucks.com
It will blow your mind!

IM telling ya guys, it doesnt matter how or what but if someone PAYS you and they have an adult url as their paypal addy, they will close BOTH ACCOUNTS

it was bound to happen with choker since peoplke are always paying him. so his account was porbably flagged and once you get their attention, acct closed.

The only epassporte fee that I think is high is to fund it, but it's because the only way to fund it is with CC (last checked).

me either

How do they catch you exactly? Is it based on the email you are using? The emails that sending you $$? The subject/comments?

Clue me in..we use it quite often and I'd like to know.

a lot of times its the email that they have registered with them.

how much did they get you for?

I don't keep any money in my paypal acct, they can close you down for no violation, just if they feel like it, they have total control and you can't do shit.

also its not a good idea to use adult domain emails for your paypal address, i use a yahoo account for mine.

ePassporte rocks. I just hope they'll become the standard online payment for the adult industry in one or two years.

This makes me think about paypal, I dont know if I should empty my account with them. I dont want to, because I never had any problems with them but all these stories make me think..........

Right but does it work both ways? What if we're using a non adult email and an adult email sends US cash? Who gets the axe? Is it the sender, recipient or both?

i'll stop sending paypal via site
co'z im so scared!!

both

That blows btw..hopefully you didn't have alot in there.

If you are saying that you keep money in the account, then I would suggest emptying it. I would never keep a substantial amount of money with them.

Not saying don't take transactions with them....

Choker - Is it an option for you to obtain a merchant acct and take Credit Cards directly?

Better knock on wood

Your account can be closed by being "SENT" a payment, yes.

My own bank account to transfert your money! :thumbsup

Heres when greenguy got his closed for sending his partner some money.

"So, just a word of advice - use a non-adult or ISP email addy for your PayPal stuff, because they are watching."

Good advice from Greenguy.

Well I am setting up a fast system for sending and recieving wires, checks, and money orders as we speek. Roman is coding it into ctts. I am hoping epassporte can help me out here and get the guys I buy and sell with accounts if they do not have them. This is a good opportunity for epassporte to open up a few hundred new accounts.

We have been looking hard for alternatives too!

DH

paypal was so nice to have

we've been closed by paypal 3 times, come up with a new url and open again.

Still trying after a month to set up Epassporte...takes a real human to close the deal, and we turn off our phones during the day because we're shooting...damn

I have tried, at least twice, to get set up on epassporte. But each time, I never see the small initial charge they send to your credit card when signing up. So, I cant confirm the amount, and I cant get set up.

This really sucks ass - I was looking to buy traffic off you next week.

PayPal has gone INSANE !!!
First they don't want to take adult related transaction.
Now they don't want to take transactions between people who deal in the adult biz :(
This is crazy, looks like they have a bunch of Bible Huggers working there now.

For the first time, I am starting to think that I should vote for J. Kerry, cuz if Bush wins, we may face an obcenity war from the Bible huggers :(

Has anyone tried egold? I used them for a content deal a week ago and everything worked well. Very easy to setup.

the most they fucked me for was a lil over 2k....and in the end was only froozen for about 3 months that required about 2 dozen faxes to get it released :/


I hate those bitches...

dang, they're really screwing up everybody ... not kewl

Yup this really sucks, first ARS now Choker :(

Trick is, as soon as you get paypal confirmation for payment, move it to your checking account. Never lost more than $5 and we bang out a few K a month with them. DON'T leave it sitting their for them to fuck with you.

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
