    @Carmen a high risk transaction applies everywhere, people are always trying to defraud other people. Like you mentioned, the adult world is prime target for fraud, so anything adult is considered high risk.

    Basically:

    1) Lots of the time people buy adult stuff (like cam shows) and then feel bad that they did it because they've been taught it makes babies Jebus/Mohamed/Whomever cry. So to pretend like they didn't do it, they call their credit card company and dispute the transaction. Until they do that a bunch of times, the company will refund it.

    2) One party to a couples' credit card account buys an online adult show. Other party gets the credit card bill.
    "Honey, did you buy this thing?"
    "*gulp* No I don't recognize that transaction."
    "Someone must have stolen our card! I'll call the credit card company and get it refunded!"

    3) People who DO steal credit card numbers online generally run a few transactions first, before actually starting to buy and ship things. You guessed it, porn. They get to test the credit card number without giving any kind of address away, they get to test to see if the card is real and they get to get off.

    4) Cheap bastards with porn shame buy an item, destroy it after using/watching it and then claim they never got it, "lost in the mail, the download didn't work, the file was busted" The company has to send them another one.

    5) Porn companies themselves tend to go out of business pretty quickly. People think it's going to be easy to make a buck, but then it isn't and they quit. It costs a lot for an auxiliary company to start a new client account, and they recoup the cost by expecting that you'll be using their services for a while. If you don't, they don't get their money back.

    6) Other stuff that I haven't thought of.

    Every time this happens someone is out money. We all want our money back, right? So whether it's the service provider, the company, their merchant account, the payment gateway, the credit card or the insurance accounts from one or all of those people, someone is getting burned by providing a service and not getting money. We're not even going into the time that's invested into all of this.

    "Adult transaction" is a risk factor for fraud just like other things like high volume orders, first time buyers or certain addresses. Companies limit their exposure to risk however they can. In the case of adult transactions, many companies have decided it's just not worth the risk and won't take us.

    Duh Re: So Paypal just froze my account for SAYING I'm a cam model.

    So the WEIRDEST turn of events. I assumed my paypal account was toast, I was on hold for them for almost 8 total hours over 2 days. I just gave up.

    then I just happend to tweet something sassy to Ricky Gervais... he responded.

    It was retweeted a few time and then suddenly a Paypal rep asked me to follow them so they can DM me. They had my permaban reversed as long as I take off all mention of Paypal off my site I told them. SURE! I just scrubbed all paypal mentioned and buttons off my site.

    So I guess it was as easy as getting someone with 4 million followers to tweet one word to me. :-/ I just submitted my site for review so they can reinstate my account.

    Ya, they suddenly give a shit when they see you might be able to actually raise a public stink. But anyone who isn't "high profile" enough just gets fucked and ignored.

    what's really making me angry is for the better part of a week I've been tweeting DIRECTLY at paypal telling them I'm on hold for hours everyday and they've ignored my emails. So they where watching... just not listening.

    ^That's what I'm saying. They would've continued to ignore as long as they viewed you as not being high profile enough. People get fucked and ignore by them all the time. You just got lucky. If you want to call it lucky. haha

    I had forgotten about this until you spoke about Twitter. Awesome you got your money. But back in January a well known author ruffled some feathers at PayPal. Eventhough my accounts are froze those idiots still send me emails regarding policy changes. And one of the changes was in regards to legal transparencies and filt ers for approval. Lots of promises but no real dates as to when they would occur. Basically they just got smacked by a person with friends in high places.

    How is this a working business model? screw over anyone that isn't "important" and then act responsibly to the .02% of people in the public eye? Reading the comments on that article it seems they dick over everyone not just cam girls and adult people. I did notice that the PayPal rep kept flip flopping on why my site was deemed too adult. They claimed they don't discriminate against users for being sex workers and said it wasn't the problem (Bullshit) but then said because I rewarded users who shared my writing with XBL games that would be considered adult. Umm did they inform Microsoft that they are an adult company now? Then they used a post on a site that was in my Blogroll as the reason. Which is like... THAT'S NOT MY SITE.

    I changed my donation method to Amazon pay. Its only for sending and receiving money there is no commerce so the fees are lower.

    Are you saying you have been accepting paypal for adult transactions? I really hope thats not what you are saying here. Because sooner or later you will lose your money. Especially if you advertise taking paypal: buttons on site,paypal email address on a site with the words paypal in anyway. This company has crawlers on the web looking for word association and will shut you down. Not worth it.

    Ugh. I cannot believe that they would actually close your account because it is linked to a blog that mentions industry work. That is just taking it too fucking far.

    MORE ridiculous - being able to freeze, then unfreeze an account when "celebrity" makes it slightly more "legitimate". Thank god for Gift Rocket - it still uses paypal, but I like to think of it as paypal laundering.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Even though it's sweet of you to offer this information, it's probably not necessary just because we all know that we WON'T accept PayPal from those guys if we happen to have the misfortune of running into them.

    But if you're just talking about revealing the names of time-wasters (who use PP and refuse to use anything else), I guess some of the models may want to add their names to their Yahoo! Messenger blocked users list, or their Skype blocked users list, or their cam site blocked users list.

    I've not used GR. Not really sure how it works, but I would like to point out that if you love it, mums the word. This forum is searchable on the net and PP uses certain algorithms that include crawlers looking for word associations. IE laundering, adult services,webcam etc etc Many companies start out using them but eventually get spanked by them. It's probably not best to connect the dots for their bots.

    I would be careful with it. They do not even check to see if there is money on the card.

    If it declines later you get zero money. Greendot moneypaks are pretty much foolproof.

    yes, and it's safe to do it because they are bought with cash. You just put in the # from the card the guy gives you and your account is loaded. Same as if you loaded cash from your bank.

    Sophie (and for anyone else who this helps), Paypal is tied to your social security number. It doesn't matter if you have different bank accounts, emails, nothing. Once your SS# is blacklisted that's it!

    Also, regarding what Laurie said about Moneypaks, you can load them directly to your Paypal account so it's almost the same thing but it's not traceable to any adult activity and no chargebacks! Some guys might find it to be a bit of a hassle because they have to go to the store, so it's best for selling tangible goods like panties or shows that are booked in advance.
