Adult website

[HoverCatz]

Hi.

Ive seen a few questions about this, and I havent seen a direct answer. Please dont tell me to read the TOS (or whatever its called), I've tried and I see nothing directly answering this.

Am I allowed to use paypal as a payment processor for an adult website (where I only accept payments for account user types, such as "premium" or "vip"), and not for any spesific sexual service (such as photos/videos of nudity, etc)?

These "user types" will only gain access to design a better looking profile page, able to use more emojis, and some other kinda non-useful things that are 100% non-sexual in any way.

MARK: No payments are for SEXUAL ITEMS/FILES, ONLY USER RANKS.

Yes/Maybe/No would be really appreciated 🙂

If you email <removed> they would be able to give you the best answer.  That's theAcceptable Use Policy group, and they would decide if PayPal could be used for something like you're thinking about.  My gut reaction would be 'no' as it's connected to adult material (since that would violate their Acceptable Use), but really they're the best ones to answer your question.

Thanks! Ill email them asap and update this thread with whatever you respond with 🙂
