Note: Do not use PayPal for anything other than raising money for a non adult oriented reason.
I use PayPal as a college fund piggy bank for donations ONLY. I do not use or advertise the use of PayPal for adult related transactions.
PayPal's TOS prohibits the use of their services for adult related business. If suspect, they can and will suspend your account privileges and I have heard of some models receiving up to a 500 USD fine for violating these terms.
Fees are only incorporated if you sign up as a business account. I have two PayPals, one as a college piggy bank and one for eBay.
I have had no issues with PayPal and never needed to contact support. I am well aware of PayPal and also use their services for selling used tech equipment and textbooks on eBay and everything ran incredibly smooth.
Their software is incredibly user friendly with a simple interface anyone can use or operate.
It may seem like a good option to a newcomer but DO ***NOT*** USE PAYPAL for adult work payments. They reverse payments easily and you can't complain because the 'work' isn't allowed, your account and balance can disappear and you can get sued as well.
Don't use Paypal. I know it may seem like an easy way out, and scammers insist on using it for a reason.
They will catch you, they will seize your account with the possibility of seizing other accounts that are associated, and they have the right as stated in their Terms of Service to FINE you 500.00 USD.
Do Not take this as a regular form of payment, especially from clients that you do not know! I have only used this option for 2 different clients, 1 was great and sent payments as gifts the other almost got my account shut down! Paypal is NOT adult content friendly!!!!
Do NOT use PayPal. I have no idea how they found out that I was using it for adult entertainment transactions, but they did and froze my account. I just had a $300 transaction, and thankfully transferred all the money except $50 over to my bank account before they shut it down. I will not see that $50 until 90 days. I was spanked and told I was a naughty girl, which of course I already knew, lol. Looking into Dwolla next.
