If you take a look at their terms of service, you'll see clearly what their policy is.

i read it long ago and i cant find anything on subject matter

Paypal eased their restriction several months ago and you can once again use Paypal for adult related hard goods. That means that you can use it to sell DVDs, dildos and the like but not for any form of membership site.

Thanks Hammer, maybe time to sell content via them as long as it's burned to disc and posted.

Question: How does PayPal determine which sexually oriented goods and services to permit?

Answer : Physical Goods – PayPal allows U.S. only transactions for certain sexually oriented physical goods, such as videos, DVDs, magazines, or other products physically delivered to the customer. PayPal does not permit transactions for sexually oriented physical goods by users outside the U.S. To determine which types of physical goods to permit, PayPal considers these factors:

* Regulations or restrictions on the purchase or sale of the product in the applicable jurisdiction
* Classification of the product by a recognized ratings board
* Description or depiction of sexual conduct in a patently offensive way
* Dominant theme of the material or website
* Literary, artistic, political, or scientific value
* Impact on the safety and protection of PayPal's customers
* Potential medicinal or educational uses

Digital Goods – PayPal prohibits all account holders from buying or selling sexually oriented digital goods, including downloadable pictures or videos, subscriptions to websites, or other content delivered through a digital medium.

Other Prohibited Goods and Services – PayPal prohibits all account holders from buying or selling any sexually oriented goods or services involving minors or made to appear to involve minors, and any services for which the purpose is to facilitate meetings for sexually oriented activities. PayPal does not include sexual preferences or viewpoints as a factor to determine what this policy prohibits.

I've got a webmodel who wants to sell her dvd's, but I was talking to a few people that told me not to use paypal, cause I would be banned from the site for doing that.

I think I just might hook ol' girl up tonight.
