I think that sneaky article means that adult webmasters are moving paypal into the adult b2b breach.

Once paypal finds out (and given that AVN sneaks rang up paypal head office with the good news) thousands of accounts are going to be frozen.

There is a whole world of difference between someone like Top Bucks paying the odd coder or whatever by Pay Pal and 'not having a problem with it' to using it as an option for a slew of affiliates. I think it will end in tears.

We will be waiting to see which way the winds flows.

Hopefully going B2B will work out but not risking it yet.

I dont know why paypal are turning it down for like affiliate payments, because the fees they take are huge! They could make some serious coin, especially for those not sent mass pay!

Ya I know. I'm not interested in hiding my money. I'm more interested in something that stable. Beside who want the bad guy in this business. If we can filter 'em out then that's good.

I really dont know but I remember years ago i purchased an adult sex toy site from ebay using paypal and the company which was selling the websites did not seem to have any problems with them, and I have also seen a lot of sex toy websites that do still use paypal, but as soon as you mention anything about porn in the transaction details they jump on it very quickly. I guess they dont want to be associated with porn as it such a high risk biz

Hardly. PayPal works well for people in America and a couple other countries, but not so well for the rest of the world.

Unless Paypal alters its "Acceptable Use" policy, which can be found here:

https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?&...se_full&bn_r=o

from which I quote:

"relate to sales of (a) narcotics, steroids, certain controlled substances or other products that present a risk to consumer safety, (b) drug paraphernalia, (c) items that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity, (d) items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime, (e) ITEMS THAT ARE CONSIDERED OBSCENE (Caps mine), (f) items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any jurisdiction, (g) CERTAIN SEXUALLY ORIENTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES (Again, caps mine), or (h) ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories, or (i) ,certain weapons or knives regulated under applicable law."

...you run a very high risk of having your funds either returned to the sender or having your funds locked up for 180 days, at which point Paypal must by law make those funds available to you.

Paypal sucks and using its service for anything connected with adult is tantamount to financial disaster. The lack of specific definition of "obscene" and "sexually oriented materials or services" says it all. Paypal can and will do whatever it wants and will tell you AFTER it has done it. You will be told when you log into your Paypal account and find that your funds have been refunded or blocked.

I have personally had over $10K locked by Paypal simply because it did not understand the nature of the transaction, which transaction was legal, above board and in compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy. Full explanations and documentation meant nothing to Paypal and it did indeed take 180 days to get my money.

In short, if you use Paypal for adult, you could well be kissing your hard-earned money goodbye or have to wait 180 days to get it.

Yes but here is the reality...paypal does accept adult transactions, they have been accepting adult video sales for a while now.
i am talking about people buying adult videos titles from a variety of big (and small) stores using paypal-

so how does this translate into their TOS? makes no sense to me.

here is proof - CD Universe sells hardcore DVDS
http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.as...&altsearch=yes

go to the check out on this title and you will see you can pay with paypal


Paypal is not going to freez CD Universe, they have already made it quite clear they are accepting porn dvd sales, and those very porn dvds are chopped up into clips which are placed on websites which they DO NOT accept!

Exactly and you prove my point that the Aceptable Use Policy is not only vague but is selectively enforced by Paypal based on what parameters we don't know. IMHO, without a very specific change in the Acceptable Use Policy, Paypal will remain a very risky method of accepting payment for any kind of adult product or service.

About 10/15 years ago before they where purchased by eBay they had no problem taking adult payments. As soon as eBay purchased them that all changed.

yes its completely insane and it leaves them open to many problems-
1)an adult company could SUE to force paypal to let them process their adult site.
i'm no lawyer but there is an obvious basis for discrimination here.

2)whats more insane is that obscenity prosecutions have been largely made for physical DVD sales as opposed to internet websites. they get them for shipping across state lines etc. So what paypal accepts is more likely to be subject to obscenity charges than what they DONT accept

3)if they accept sales for dvds why dont they accept sales for VOD?? someone please explain the difference with that one? VOD would be actually LESS risky.

Paypal used to do subscriptions for adult sites when they first came out; I mean they were up on the join pages and all. About two months into the program they shut it all down without warning and without explaining their actions.

As far as them not wanting to be associated with Porn because it would hurt their business...It sure doesn't seem to have tarnished Google's much. I doubt adult will work out long term with them but would like to see it happen. Their system is rock solid and I have used them for years. The fees can be high but it is a convenient and ideal payment form for US webmasters (or whomever else can get their debit card).

makes no sense, they can't process adult then choose not to process adult at the same time.
they process for porn dvds, discrimination would be not processing for porn sites.

on edit- i dont know if that would be a legal basis for discrimination in a court of law, but it is discrimination nevertheless.

Well,

who in their right minds will steal credit card numbers, bang them on DVD sites and put in their actual mailing address?

However, frauding subscription websites is "safe" for frauders.

So I can see why they would accept DVD sales/tangible goods but not "virtual" stuff.

-edit- DOH...these comments were already made

However, frauding subscription websites is "safe" for frauders.

So I can see why they would accept DVD sales/tangible goods but not "virtual" stuff.

on subscription websites yes, on VOD no. VOD is incredibly stable.
my chargebacks are less than .5% and i know that accross the board its similar.
why not do VOD at the very least? leaving money on the table imo.

on edit - once again refer to their TOS.

No, it is not discrimination; Paypal can do whatever it wants to do as far as what it processes and what it doesn't. Paypal can have whatever kind of Acceptable Use Policy it wants as long as it does not contravene applicable law or go against public policy.

You, on the other hand, cannot cry "Discrimination!" after you have agreed to the TOS of Paypal, which includes agreeing to the aforementioned Acceptable Use Policy.

Confusing?

Yep, sure is and that's why they make it that way, so they can be selective and arbitrary in enforcement.

I think there is a big difference in PayPal allowing p2p transactions from sponsors to publishers vs. processing porn sites. Someone mentioned adult URLs in the transaction being a problem. I imagine that PayPal's filters catch that (in order to avoid porn subscriptions) so it would be easily avoided by paying out generically. For example, from XYZ Co. to jonnydoe for advertising, traffic, etc. There are some big names that are adopting them and I know they have legal counsel. I doubt they are just throwing darts to find a payment method that sticks.

I bet they experienced a large wave of fraudulent transactions and also some child porn peddlers immediately plugged them in. That's why they dropped it all at once.

As several people already said here, PayPal still works with tangible adult goods. And worked most of the time, afair.

VOD = virtual and there lies the problem.

And your chargebacks might be .5% But do you represent the whole market?

Adult transactions = risk.

It was about a year ago and in the end I just gave up with trying to get my account unblocked. They still have my money
