Well it finally happened..
 

I, too, got shut down by PayPal.

Only had $4 in the account as I was smart and withdrew as soon as I got payments.

Consider yourself lucky for having it open for so long. Most of us got shut down over a year ago.

That's what I've noticed.. I thought I could get away with it until they updated their Acceptable Use policy this month to include adult-oriented designs that don't have adult content themselves.

Tricky bastards :Graucho

So do you know how exactly you got busted?...

For a long time I was using just my email address through my mainstream site ([email protected]) to accept payments from Dynamixxx.com, but I launched TGPFactory.com and added '[email protected]'. I'm assuming they just went thru the domains associated with my email addresses and saw that it was adult-oriented. Doh! I probably could've gotten away with it for far longer had I not done that.

At least I went to the ATM tonight so they only kept $4 :1orglaugh

I opened a MoneyBookers account several weeks ago, have yet to verify my identify (you have to fax them copies of your ID and such), but I already have money waiting for me in there.. hopefully that will become more widespread throughout adult and I won't run into any billing problems.

I also setup a Merchant account thru DirectNIC so I can accept credit card payments, and that should cover most of my sales..
