So they added a new “digital adult content” drop-down item to select in your Paypal business options but when you choose it your account will immediately be closed down. Just letting everyone know so they don’t get tricked! Even though this is a selectable item IT IS STILL ILLEGAL AND AGAINST PAYPAL POLICY TO SELL “SEXUALLY ORIENTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES”
Posted this on twitter earlier but I cannot stress enough how fucked up this is. Paypal users, please be careful.
I didn’t fact check this myself, but if presented with the option NEVER tell PayPal you work with adult content.
For those who don’t have a FA, here’s what the journal says:
since I have around 14,000 watchers, I figure if I post a PSA it might help calm some of your tits.

IS FAKE. note that the tweets are all carefully cropped and if you go
through paypal yourself and LOOK, that isn’t even an option.
I’m a paypal
business account holder and a senior PP user, I’ve used them about 10
years now. when I tell you digital art of the nsfw variety is ok, it’s
because I have been on the goddamn PHONE with them myself to confirm it
FOR MYSELF.
THEY. ALLOW. PORN.
WHAT THEY dont ALLOW is ‘selling sex/sex services’ which if youre a
total moron, you’d label your payments in a way that w ould get you
flagged for selling SEX. they DO allow digital art for adults, adult
comics and the like. they OBVIOUSLY allow adult material, because
BAD-DRAGON is paypal verified, and you can buy DILDOES AND DONGS from
ebay or any other site that takes paypal, with PAYPAL.
do not believe the bullshit and mass hysteria going on right now.
continue your normal business, be smart. if you are selling ART, then
you list your merch as ART. but ive sent hundreds of invoices to people
and not once have I ever had to or even remotely BOTHERED to put ‘what’
in a dropdown menu, it is im selling. thats what the subject line is
for.
if you want to not have problems with paypal, which most people never
ever have, and PP has great fucking A+ customer service, then dont be an
idiot. protect your name, your investments [artwork] and business. dont
flaunt that you’re drawing bestiality or child porn. list it as
something else.
an example is:
guy buys a 2character pic from me with a background, m/m picture with
heavy bondage and hardcore anal banging with a huge load of cum
what your invoice should look like:
Subject: 2 character digital art commission w/ background -price- -tax[if applicable]
THATS IT. COMMON SENSE GUYS.
now seriously, stop panicking. one douchebag trolling is trying to ruin a
good thing. and frankly, paypal is the most trustworthy money trading
company online TO THIS DAY. hell, when i visit a different city and try
to put gas in my bf’s car, paypal will DECLINE THE PURCHASE simply
because its not anywhere near my home address. their fraud protection is
fucking awesome, the people on phone support are awesome, and the
service is fucking FREE.
just chill out guys. really.
FYI here are screencaps of what a REAL paypal business account settings look like-
