I guess this means no more payments allowed for digital content?

I still don't understand why so many people are using PAypal at all. Incredible fees and constant changes of rules, plus miserable support.

For me they were the only way I could still accept credit cards for adult content when my merchant processor closed my account. No problems with them for 8 years so far. Fees are about 3% where adult processors like CCBill charge 10.8% to 14.5%

I agree with you. What alternatives do you recommend that still allow nudes or semi-nudes?

I was under the impression that in theory PP was already not adult friendly (despite many sites managed to use it)

90% of people getting to me for blog posts and stuff ara paying with paypal as an only option.

There are alternatives, Paxum, Cosmo Pay, Crypto..whatever.
Epayservice was really good for years but they fucked me up seriously recently so I wouldn't recommend them

Didn't they have this since the very beginning ?

[todservices]

I have been boycotting paypal for 10 years
They froze our account one day for no reason...

For anything B2B, it's now crypto all the way
