PayPal wants to send out your affiliate payments
I asked them, was specific about it being for adult webmaster commission payments.... check out the last line in the email
============================================ Thank you for contacting PayPal. Yes, you can use PayPal to send funds to your affiliates. Business and Premier account members can send up to 5,000 simultaneous payments to individuals using their email address. You can create, send, and track all of your payments using the Mass Payment feature. You start by creating a tab or comma delimited file or spreadsheet that contains your recipient?s email address, payment amount, and currency code. Next, you fund your PayPal account with the total amount of the Mass Payment, plus fees in the currencies you are sending. Each currency will need to have its own file. After you upload your file to your PayPal account, you can review and edit your file or add a personal note to each recipient before sending it. Within minutes of sending your file, we?ll send you an email notification that the process is complete. We?ll also notify your recipients that have money. PayPal recipients receive their money directly into their account. Recipients without a PayPal account can get their money by clicking the link in their email and following the instructions. Here?s how to send a Mass Payment: 1. Log in to your PayPal account. 2. Click ?Send Money.? 3. Click ?Make a Mass Payment.? 4. Select your method of identifying your recipients under ?My payment recipients are identified by:? and click ?Upload? on the ?Mass Payment? page. 5. Click ?Review.? 6. Click ?Send Money.? To see what countries can receive payment from PayPal, go to www.paypal.com, click ?Send Money,? and then click ?Transfer Money Internationally.? Note: * You can pay recipients in 22 major currencies. * Online payments are instant. * There is no fee for the recipient, but there is a small transaction fee for the sender. * An insufficient PayPal account will cause a Mass Payment to fail. * You cannot use a debit or credit card to fund a Mass Payment. * Unclaimed money is returned to your account after 30 days. * Individual payments cannot exceed $10,000.00 USD. I am glad to have resolved your concern today. Please tell your friends about PayPal. ========================================== |
Interesante.

Yeah, I'd double check that with someone over the phone, someone other than a customer service rep.
|
double and triple check.
|
I think affiliate payout is a LOT different to having a paypal payment on a porn site.
Would be cool if affiliate was fine. |

But seriously, sounds dangerous. I sometimes get antsy even taking money for adult domains in PP. |

I have been suggesting this for a while. You can't sell porn with PP, but many sponsors are already using Paypal as an option.
|
Wow great. Now I guess I can forget the rest.

I'm still highly skeptical of getting a real answer from a Paypay service rep that addresses your question. They're like trained seals who will give you a copy and paste answer from a list.
|
I have been paid through paypal for years by some sponsors, no bigger amounts though. If you set It up right It should work.
|
Thats just a standard copy paste answer from a worker that probably doesn't understand. Would love to hear something official from higher up at PP, but I can't see ebay involving themselves with porn.
|
I remember way back when people would complain frequently on here about having Paypal freezing their accounts without warning.
I agree, that is a standard email. On many levels, I would enjoy being able to tell people we pay via PayPal but it would have to be a lot more clear than that. |
probably ask them to escalate the ticket, so someone higher can take a look at it..
|
And as soon as one of those sponsors sends to an email that Paypal deems as adult - Boom! Account frozen.
|
Paypal and their relatively "new" vp have been very "fuzzy" about the porn industry....

spazlabz: I'm highly skepitcal too. Can you paste a copy of your original email to Paypal? I talked to a customer service rep about a month ago, and their response was an unequivocal "No".
|
I think it could workout but..they should get a Adult Industry specialty Staff to handle us..

that has thousands of affiliates. I was wondering if it would be acceptable use to be able to use PayPal as a way of paying them their monthly commission payments The information I am looking for is very specific. I have thousands of affiliates that make sales to our adult sites each month. We would like to use PayPal to make payments to those affiliates who would like to receive their funds in that way. They are not purchasing anything from us and we are not purchasing anything from them. Simply paying them for the commissions they earn. Would this be acceptable use by PayPal. I want to make absolutely sure that this will not cause funds to be frozen by PayPal in the future if we use this method as a payment option.' |

Having dealt with paypal before on issues like this, hell no.

It wasn't too many years ago that PayPal was closing accounts that had ANY connection with porn, be it affiliate payouts or just accepting a payment for someone with suspected porn connections. It'd be interesting if that really has eased up. Certainly though, I wouldn't accept an email from a minimum wage rep as being representative of their current policy. :2 cents:

por·nog·ra·phy /pɔrˈnɒgrəfi/ Show Spelled[pawr-nog-ruh-fee] Show IPA ?noun obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, esp. those having little or no artistic merit. deep down inside I view what I am involved with (and probably what you do as well) as adult entertainment and not obscene. Anyone is welcomed to write them as well and see if they get a different answer... you very well might. This is the answer I got. There is a form on their page |

Perhaps PayPal has changed their stance. I don't know what the big deal is, really. Tons of Fortune 500 companies are involved in adult. Hilton, Comcast, Cox (heh), and the list goes on.
|
Don't use paypal. Pick something adult friendly.

Look monkeys, you have ALWAYS been able to pay affiliates and shit with paypal. You can't sell adult sites and most adult services with paypal, b2b payments have always been fucking OK.
Are you all really in this business this fucking long without knowing the basic shit? |

HOWEVER, PP deleted one of my accounts simply because the email was on an adult domain. I never even received any adult payments to that account. |

It's a good option but you need to be a little careful
|
My understanding of paypal, is they dont want to process payments for porn sites becuase of the high charge back rate.
Check with them, i have asked them before about accepting payments from adult web masters for a link directory and they said it was fine. |
no, thank you...

It's a standard reply from their list
#73 Affiliate payments question And your question to them wasn't specific enough at all, 'online adult entertainment company' translated into tamil probably doesn't come out as 'porn' |

They probably want to take a part of cake, why not, what is wrong paying affs via paypal.
