    Ugh,gov should not accept taxes from sex workers too. This is a discrimination!

    Soooo does that mean I need to take all the toys off my wishlist? I mean what the hell, you're selling the damn things, but we can't put it on our lists?? Pshhhhh bullshit.

    Their problem isn't with the toys, it's that they don't want us to use their wishlist items in exchange for "sexual favors". They probably don't want to get into trouble with their credit card processors because that would put them in the "high risk" category.

    A safe alternative is one of the many toy store wish lists out there (MyPornProfile has one). The one in my signature is 100% secure (customers never see your real name or address) and designed with adult performers in mind.

    Amazon is being very prudish right now! It has even trying to slowly censor adult fiction writers such as myself on their site. So everyone from erotica writers to sex workers must watch their prudish ways.

    You know what, my entire "work" Amazon account just got shut down out of no where! Not just the wish list, the entire account is closed. Now I guess I know why.

    This. This is what it's all about every time. It's always about the money. I'm so sick of our industry being labeled high risk. It might have been in the early ages of porn, and maybe some dark corners of the web still have shady characters running adult sites and stealing credit card numbers or whatever, but fuck. I have such a low rate of chargebacks and refunds and I've never ripped someone off in my life. I think my online store has *never* had a chargeback or refund the entire time it's been up, nearly 2 years. Ask how many people who run vanilla online stores how many they've had.

    Did you post a source with your claim? It could also be because you weren't an established user.

    I admit that this site isn't entirely noob friendly, but neither is our industry. I'm not trying to make excuses, and I am very sorry that this happened to you and I'm sure that we are all glad that you stuck around!

    Haven't read entire thread but I once used my membership on Stripperweb as a means to encourage a retailer to replace a faulty item. they had ignored multiple emails until i told them that I was planning on telling the 40,000 members of the site I was on my experience with them. Ok, a little fudging there

    My point is, let Amazon know that you wont be using their services and use your networks to broadcast that info- money talks. Discrimination need not be tolerated.

    Interesting coming from a company who, years ago, refused to stop selling dog fighting manuals because of some freedom of choice bs. So apparently amazon supports illegal activity as long as it's only animal abuse, and not consensual sex.

    I tried to buy something from her Amazon wishlist and it only gave me my own address book as shipping options. Maybe this has something to do with that as well. She wasn't shut down, but you sure as hell couldn't send her anything from it. Annoying!!! I would think Amazon was big enough that they don't have to cower before the prudes in this country.

    Reason why I don't have an Amazon Wishlist anymore.

    If she does not have her address set up on each wishlist then you are unable to send her anything. I have several wishlists that I talk about, but have no address associated with it. When I want gifts I ask for gift cards. Maybe that's why?

    I noticed that too when I clicked your Amazon wishlist mav. Check your link, it goes to an error page.

    (They sell 32,680 fetish items) God forbid someone who enjoyed your company buy you something on your wishlist..why not just stick fucking Blinkers on the head of all customers. Send them using Amazon Prime Air!
