Paypal users: now is a good time to leave - GoFuckYourself.com

If you are using a paypal account for doing adult business, you might want to leave now. I was just looking at their policy updates...

"Violating the Acceptable Use Policy
Notice Date: August 23, 2004
Effective Date: September 24, 2004

Violators of the Mature Audiences, Prescription Drugs and Gambling categories of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy may be subject to a fine of $500.00 USD and/or PayPal may take legal action against you to recover losses that are in excess of the amount fined."

Looks like they get more creative at revenue generation every day.

fr8 · 08-25-2004, 09:26 PM

paypal is worthless no matter what you use it for. there are so many other good ones out there.

hydro · 08-25-2004, 09:27 PM

they should wake up and offer email marketing, id love to advertise my mainstream stuff through paypal.

08-25-2004, 09:31 PM

Holy shit. Thankfully they closed my account last week so I won't have to pay the $500.

Which ones do you recommend?

iwantchixx · 08-25-2004, 10:18 PM

Just get rid of large sums FAST. Don't tie it to a bank account that you save money in and don't let them have your credit card number EVER.

Then how do they go after you for $500?

If you really think they will spend big bucks suing you to have a judge laugh it out of court, then I got a bridge to sell you.

I spend any money I get in paypal as soon as I get it and the bank acohahahaha it is tied to has $20 in it max.

psyko514 · 08-25-2004, 10:19 PM

iwantchixx, how much for your bridge?

I gave up on them a long time ago.. glad to see that lawsuit made them change their ways.

Goatse · 08-26-2004, 03:40 AM

Actually, a year ago was a good time to leave. Now it's basically letting yourself be robbed willingly.

there are a lot of payment systems yes... but none as widely accepted as PayPal. I hate to say it but they still have a large piece of that pie and I don't see it changing...

exactly, I've been searching for something as widely accepted as PayPal but sadly they are way on top!

I've even thought of bringing on a system by myself to compete with PayPal but i think i couldn't even take a crumble of their piece.

They are still great for non adult.

well tell me what other ones were 99 out of 100 people use it? Epassporte?

nofx · 08-26-2004, 06:30 AM

i've used paypal heavily for two and a half years and NEVER have had any problems. I also love my Paypal debit card, I use it daily.

Does epassporte have a debt card type deal?

Khun · 08-26-2004, 06:35 AM

Face it, Paypal has a huge share in the marketplace. Mainstream, they are pretty much the whole damn show. If that fact pisses you off, do the american thing. Build a beter service and shut the fuckers down.

Brinner · 08-26-2004, 07:15 AM

paypal really sucks. Back when it came out it was a great payment tool, now its nothing like it was.

Doctor Dre · 08-26-2004, 07:31 AM

Actually I owe paypal like 1.5 g now ...

They fucking let a guy charge back on me when I had delivered the product (old d2 story) . So I just switched the money real fast ...

And they aren't doing shit, been like 3 years now .

Their fucking policies aren't up to date for sellers ...

Had the same lat feb.... Buyer did chargeback of 2200.00, but my account was under 100.00 ... I had paid the producer by Paypal also, so I told them to charge that amount back ( 1900.00 ). They wouldn't because it was " funded "....

Let them run after me ...

noone else finds it unnerving that the dates they mention coincide suspiciously closely w/ the supposed new 2257 laws..?
