Anyway, I think PayPAl should get over themselves. Their job is to get money from A to B, not to tell people what they can spend their money on. (As long as it's legal, as you say.)

They also want to make money.

Part of this is trying to keep the rate of chargebacks down, when people either dispute having paid for a good or service, or when they deny having received the good or service.

Apparently, "adult" content is something that people (for whatever reason....) deny having paid for more often than other things.

See, for example, these comments on this entry: http://dw-biz.dreamwidth.org/7022.html?thread=702574#cmt702574 , http://dw-biz.dreamwidth.org/7022.html?thread=702830#cmt702830 , http://dw-biz.dreamwidth.org/7022.html?thread=705390#cmt705390 .

So perhaps one way to get PayPal to accept adult sites is to educate people so that they won't be ashamed to own up to purchasing adult content. (Good luck with that.)
