For those of you who use PayPal, did you get approval before using it? - GoFuckYourself.com

on Paypal's acceptable use policy PAYPAL ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY (can't post link because of new account)

Activities requiring approval 10 mature audience content. My question is, have any of you sought approval and what are the odds of being accepted, especially if you are working with taboo themes?

I've got approval. They seem OK with most porn except beastiality and necrophilia, so if you stay clear of those two genres you should be OK with PayPal.

What if it is incest literature? Should I delete my business account and start a new one? I already created one and then learned that you needed approval afterward

Kiss ass for approval? Not me.

After ~2 decades without a chargeback Paypal recently started putting 21 day holds on my client's mainstream payments of just a few hundred bucks.

Paypal can go fuck itself.

When Paypal first came out their VP came to Phoenix Forum. Back then at Lightspeed Cash we added Paypal to our join process. A month later they removed all adult sites from Paypal.

For personal stuff, Paypal is great. But I would never consider putting them up on a paysite.

I'm finding a hard time finding payment processors though, so I'm not sure if I have any other solutions. Crypto is sort of a solution but most people do not use it.

Over the years they sway back and forth - if you're going to use them always make sure you have a backup plan.

Personally to accept payments just keep things normal - no mention of adult content etc. and you'll be fine - if you do programming then just say for programming services and do not put any websites down.

It'll be problematic with my titles, although I'm looking into ways to change the product name after purchase. For now I guess I don't have much of a choice than to use them.

Why is it so difficult to find a high risk payment processor? Even if what I write is taboo, it's still just text and fiction.
