Epoch recently added paypal as a payment option for US-based merchants, they've been using it for EU processing for a while now and have expanded to the US processing zone.
the one downside is that in processing paypal payments via Epoch the payout rate is still 85% (not the 100% that chicas who risk using pp themselves would receive), but ultimately I think it's a good thing, in that expanding the range of payment options available to potential clients is generally a good idea. I doubt it will have much impact either way on indy chicas who don't use Epoch; what I worry about is a rise of annoying dudes asking for it after seeing it offered on porn sites, but that didn't happen during the EU rollout so time will tell.
what remains to be seen is how or if chargeback rates are impacted by those who use Epoch. I haven't really heard much one way or the other in this regard, I suspect that will probably change as more Epoch merchants start offering it (as the pool of available experiences to draw trends from increases)
in case anyone reading this thread is confused as to the current Paypal/porn stance, you still risk having your account closed and funds withheld if you try to use paypal for adult services without going through Epoch.
The biggest problem I'm thinking this can create is an influx of guys asking models to also accept PayPal as a payment. In these customers heads they will think, "hey since MFC now offers us to purchase tokens through PayPal, there's no reason why the models shouldn't be able to accept it now either". Or they will trick more new naive girls into PayPal being ok by showing them that MFC has it as an option, so more girls will be tricked into acceptiong it cause they can show them this "proof" that it's ok.
