I always have heard that Paypal won't deal with any adult materials, period.
Now I see this,
What is the story?

How does PayPal determine which sexually oriented goods and services to permit? Question : Answer : Physical Goods ? PayPal allows U.S. only transactions for certain sexually oriented physical goods, such as videos, DVDs, magazines, or other products physically delivered to the customer. PayPal does not permit transactions for sexually oriented physical goods by users outside the U.S. To determine which types of physical goods to permit, PayPal considers these factors:
Regulations or restrictions on the purchase or sale of the product in the applicable jurisdiction
Classification of the product by a recognized ratings board
Description or depiction of sexual conduct in a patently offensive way
Dominant theme of the material or website
Literary, artistic, political, or scientific value
Impact on the safety and protection of PayPal's customers
Potential medicinal or educational uses
Digital Goods ? PayPal prohibits all account holders from buying or selling sexually oriented digital goods, including downloadable pictures or videos, subscriptions to websites, or other content delivered through a digital medium.

Other Prohibited Goods and Services ? PayPal prohibits all account holders from buying or selling any sexually oriented goods or services involving minors or made to appear to involve minors, and any services for which the purpose is to facilitate meetings for sexually oriented activities. PayPal does not include sexual preferences or viewpoints as a factor to determine what this policy prohibits.

They have this in there to fit their needs. They tried to kill my account just for having a donation button on one of my adult sites. I think paypal has forgotten what got them here.

They used to accept adult.

The thing that got us more upset, was that fact that they spent a good year or two being very agreasive in signing up adult sites.

The lost revenue was big for us.

It's my understanding that you can sell novelty items, dildo, toys, etc... but ultimately, it is at their discretion if they kill your account or not.
