At the end of the day, Tomas, First Data does not process for adult transactions, as long as they know they are adult transactions.

Referring to a Forbes article from 2004, in regards to iBill (a company that many here know well) and their lawsuit to attempt to force First Data to process for them --
http://www.forbes.com/2004/09/27/cz_sl_0927ibill.html

""We have determined that processing payments of the adult entertainment marketplace is inconsistent with our core values," sniffs a First Data spokesman. He adds that the company warned iBill with "multiple notices" that its contract would not be extended after its expiration. "

If something has changed at First Data, I would be highly surprised, especially since in the last 45 days they've declined to process new adult related business for clients that do substantial amounts monthly in mainstream. And by adult related, I mean in the Paypal sense... no taint of adult, period, regardless of the product or service.

I'm off to bake a cake now, hopefully if I decide to use baking soda instead of baking powder it will still turn out alright. They are similar, aren't they?
