We don’t permit PayPal account holders to buy or sell:

  • Sexually oriented digital goods or content delivered through a digital medium. Downloadable pictures or videos and website subscriptions are examples of digital goods.

The following websites ALL sell Sexually oriented digital goods and/or content and offer PayPal to pay for them:

https://www.adultrental.com/join/

https://psexs.com/payment/paypal/page/2/

 

Why are these websites permitted to use PayPal to sell Sexually oriented digital goods and/or content but other websites are not allowed?

 

What does a website have to do in order to sell Sexually oriented digital goods and/or content by using PayPal, like the other sites on the links provided?

 

It's unfair that some adult sites can use PayPal while others are not. What is this reason?

Years ago I had many adult websites. I had a merchant account but many, many webmasters used PayPal. They banned the clients from using PayPal but many still do so. You need a report them though they’ll just open another account. Lots of adult sites accept PayPal today.
