So does Napster! Wait, what year is it again?

Coup 10-10-2010 03:30 PM

epass rocked too remember?

Horny Joe 10-10-2010 03:33 PM

Honestly, I have not used PayPal in years. Then epass collapse and I got some money into paypal the other day... And it works fine :) Paying domains, hosting.. transfering money to my savingsaccount.. All good!

Jarmusch 10-10-2010 03:38 PM

They would rock harder if they accepted adult.

HomerSimpson 10-10-2010 03:54 PM

I heard too much horror stories (even with biz accounts) so I could trust them my money...

Sublim3 10-10-2010 04:27 PM

I've had my paypal for about or a little over 10 years... with only minor temporary interruptions. The fact that paypal is old and still around is a good thing, I have no idea why some of you have napster jokes, etc. You guys are probably the same people who will get your money taken AGAIN trying to ride the new middleman wave.

I ran adult businesses and - on the mainstream side (completely unrelated to my adult biz) - I sold chili peppers, salsa, hot sauce, etc. I grew my own produce - in Scarborough of all places. I grew corn, habaneros, chilies, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes and garlic - and a variety of sweet peppers. I made my own hot sauces and salsas. I used to get ripped by my friends who chewed me out for having a cornfield in my backyard. I sold these products to local grocers - Foodland being my main purchaser.

Things were good back then. I entered into negotiations with a certain Michigan based company to sell their Habanero chips and bottled sauces in Canada. All I had to do was import their products and add French-language labels to the packaging.

This was before Ebay bought Paypal, mind you.

I started this failed "import" business in mid-late 2000. Initial talks were with a company called Confinity (? - not 100% sure - I'm not digging shit up). By 2001 it was Paypal. That was short-lived. We had the paperwork done (but still were not able to sell in Canada), yet things were looking up. I got homemade Salsas and Hot Sauces going to Foodland. On the sidelines I had Blair's, err, my Michigan based friend ready to import his stellar goods into Canada.

Then, Ebay bought the company.

Before I could finish the paperwork and set up a printing facility (which would have been handled by my best friend's father), Ebay purchased Paypal and shut down my account. Bam! Business gone. I didn't lose cash. What I lost was about two years worth of effort.

If you're wondering why I've been in the biz since 1998 and am still slugging it out, I have my own naivete and Paypal to thank. I trusted Paypal like a lot of people trusted Epass. There are threads here where I bitch about losing money on failed ventures.

This was the venture.

Ironically enough, I can go to my local Bulk Barn and grab a bag of Blair's Death Rain chips. Sadly, I still have to go to Windsor or to Detroit to pick up his magnificent hot sauces.

Now, I could just order a half million units of product, slap French language stickers on the packages, and be good to go. Back then, nope. To rub it in, Sobey's owns Foodland and they've shut down every local franchise.

If you actually read this, get someone to give you some cred.

icymelon 10-10-2010 11:04 PM

paypal is owned by ebay

leg4 10-10-2010 11:21 PM

When will Paypal work with the adult market?

Is there a chance that this will ever happen?

Love to buy shit with it on ebay

kazbalah 10-11-2010 12:26 AM

Everyone will say paypal rocks until their account is shut down and funds STOLEN.

cykoe6 10-11-2010 02:13 AM

Paypal does indeed rock..... right up until the moment the freeze your account with no notice.

Don't keep money in there?

I think epass has taught us all not keep any significant funds in online payment systems.

PXN 10-11-2010 02:25 AM

I'm using paypal for both adult and non adult. Have an account with them for 10+ years without problems.

Just don't put adult in comments and u'll be fine. Even if they freeze your account, u can take it out after 180 days (unless it is fraud, but if just because it is adult they'll let u take it out).

Could they freeze your account? Sure, but you'll get your money back later after 180 days unlike epass your money is actually missing.

ok, but my bank also rapes me on wire fees and actually you can claim both as costs on your tax declaration. so it hurts not as much as you think.

spazlabz 10-11-2010 08:18 AM

Just be very careful with what you use PayPal for
