paypal - who's been shut down ?
 

what are the exact rules for paypal and adult ?
eg. can designers use paypal if they sell adult designs?
i know some content providers had their accounts closed but how much adult is too much for paypal?

i did find an alternative (see sig.) but i've always loved my paypal.

yes they can. if its anything that has anything to do with adult, then it can get shut down. pretty lame but true

Don't use anything Adult related in the subject or comments.

i use an adult related domain and they don't mind me.

It's just a matter of time before they find out about it.

I did too but I didnt process adult under it anymore, it was for my ebay account...but to be safe I changed my email from my domain account to a normal account. better safe than sorry :2 cents:

so just having the word "adult" in your addy will/can cause problems?

Did the same here. Changed the email to a non-adult one.

And ofcourse, don't let any money sit in your paypal account. Either spend it again, or have it transfered to your bank account immediately.

I've heard guys that lost $1k just because paypal shut them down, and that money was still in there.

i have an adult domain for paypal, no worries here, its even been involved with transactions to/from accounts that have been caught with adult, like focus adult etc, still no problems

what he say :)

If a customer or someone else wants to to fuck you, it's so easy !

You can also fuck anyone yourself, by just sending somenone 2 dollars and put in the subject : "Payment for adult services".

They suck bigtime.

Don't waste your time, money, life with them.

I don't use their service because they don't support the country where i live but i think ePassporte is much more good than Paypal

I'm starting to use moneybookers, and they are good

lot's of nice stories here..

i lost $3,500 mar keveryones words never ever use adult anywhere hosting,design, notthing!

at least get you some heat ...

LMAO my friend dave has 42k in his acc when they put him on hold .. I had 5-6k in mine when they put it on hold too ... took me a year and 2 months to get my money

yes!

if you have an adult related email addy registered on there, take it off. and if you know you are about to get paid from someone in the adult industry, make sure that *they* dont have an adult related/sounding email addy.

:thumbsup

I know so many webmasters that have had their account shut down because of adult sounding emails despite being warned by me and others.

One person I know who didn't have an adult sounding email addy got a charge back to their PayPal account, the reason stated camshow refund and they were shut down too.

Fucking pathetic. Looks like everyone with lots of cash in their paypal gets shutdown, and they leave the small ones alone..

Don't post a link to Paypal on an adult site and use non-adult email. Also transfer all funds right away.
