First of all, this was my first time hearing about or visiting engadget and I don't know violet blue. I am not a feminist either and don't think paypal is discriminating against women specifically. I just think it's the most complete article I have read on the issue of adult payments. So complete that I am actually surprised I could get paypal to unlock my account 2 years ago when they first locked it.
Now my account is locked again for receiving money for pants and shoes, which are neither obscene nor pornographic. Just my name on the receiving end make them an adult service I guess, violating paypal tos. It's a clear mistake but paypal won't unlock my account a second time, not even for another business, completely adult unrelated. They are more stubborn than *fill in the most stubborn thing you know*
The only thing the article doesn't cover is that Epoch, one of the biggest adult payment processors, has a deal with paypal and is actually processing payments for adult sites through paypal.
I wanted to leave a comment on the article, but my email could not be verified even after 5 attempts. I hope this article changes something. Not that paypal allows adult payments or restores accounts, but that someone else is stepping up and taking on all the adult billions waiting to be processed (like bitpay wants to, but people don't like cryptocurrency)
About the credit cards: I always knew that they accept adult material. Not all of it, but they are not to blame. I hate that big companies can just hide behind the diffusion of responsibility that all their managers and employees provide. "The company" does not exist and is never responsible. When you call paypal, you never reach paypal.
Here is the article:
