Paypal sucks ass!
 
Just had my primary account cancelled for "obscene or sexually oriented goods or services," even though this account is for mainstream. Do they cancel accounts for association with certain *people* who have a history?!?

Who should I use for mainstream transfers and/or industry transfers?

That sucks. I never keep much money in the account...I had $46 in there, and they gave me the option for immediate withdrawal. At least that's to their credit in this case.

How would they track it if I did? If the subject doesn't refer to anything but mainstream, they would have to flag based on email address...that doesn't sound right.

The problems I find with epassporte is
(1) 5% minimum load fees
(2) the majority of people don't have an account
(3) from what I understand, it takes forever to set up an account (took me several days, and the people I referred said the same thing...)
(4) there have relatively low transfer limits

I try to use them when I can, but don't have that option most of the time.

call and ask them

Bird 03-31-2005 02:31 PM

jsut because paypal sucks (they got me 2 last year for a ton of cash, but i DID find a way around it ;) ) does not mean "epassporte rocks"...there is still not a decent alternative yet for paypal, someone would be LOADED if they came up with one :2 cents:

Sosa 03-31-2005 02:46 PM

transfer your funds right away...

ModelPerfect 03-31-2005 03:03 PM

I just got confirmation, that they cancelled my account because a *previous* one was associated with modelperfect.com.

This account was created before the modelperfect.com one...back when Paypal was graciously accepting adult transactions. So now they are discriminating, not against account violations, but on *people* who have had previous association with the industry. "Hey pot, this is the kettle; you're black."

Kind of sounds like they're opening themselves up to a class action discrimination suit, but what do I know about the law?

groark 03-31-2005 03:08 PM

chowda 03-31-2005 03:14 PM

multiple accounts, thats what its all bout

digifan 03-31-2005 03:43 PM

Paypal sucks big way... but it's in their TOS :(

Veterans Day 03-31-2005 03:43 PM

multiple paypal accounts is the only route. Epass sucks ass, noone has an account with them. Mainstream anyway. There fees are sick, there support is a joke and I could keep going on. Time to open another paypal account thats all. Never keep any money in it. Just send money from a bank account and whenreceiving, withdraw immediately. :2 cents:

Yeah, I guess that's about it. But I think I'll have to open another bank account to link with it...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to use one I previously used with them. That's a pain.

Did you contact them? They closed my account for adult and issued me a check the next week.

Even within the adult industry, I find it rare that someone has epassporte. I usually offer that as a first option, but rarely find someone who has an account or willing to use it.

I had one common denominator. One of the emails on both accounts had the same domain as part of the email, but it wasn't linked with adult at all.

They suck because you fail to comply with their terms?...nice...

They suck because I complied with their terms, and they still cancelled my account, because as a person, I am associated with the industry.
