Further on using Paypal for sexually explicit erotic art, here is a useful guidelines page:

https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/...ervices-faq569

Bottom line...

* Only US-transactions (not sure if this means US destinations or US-source-and-destinations).

* No digitally transmitted content, although sending a flashdrive or DVD-ROM with content seems permissible.

* They "consider" the literary, artistic, political, or scientific value of the product.

This seems to leave more room to work with although Paypal does have a long history of surprising merchants with frozen accounts and permanent account deletions without warning. They have also bullied Patreon to de-sexualize their account portfolios in the past.

I know many adult biz folks are using Paypal for B2B, but even being paid for explicit graphic design/artwork or copy writing/authoring of sexual site reviews (which is transmitted as digital content) is pushing the limits of their TOS.

Can adult payment processors be used for physical goods?
