It seems like they have shut the doors and are making it difficult, if not impossible, to do anything about it
The problem I believe is that my site is "sex oriented" - there is NO sex, just nudity and only occasionaly some masturbation - but no penetration...
What I'm wondering...what is "sex-oriented" material? I mean a girl walking down mainstreet with a tight dress can be very sex orienting...many ads, while not showing any nudity, are VERY sex orienting...what the hell is "sex orienting"?
They don't make it clear...but they expect me to abide by rules that are not clear...
I mean, this is an adult industry forum...has anyone here had a "sex" issue with paypal?

Adult-oriented digital material is the issue. They have no issues for hard goods, dvds, toys, etc.
