I may be stuck not being able to take payment for adult items via Paypal -- they're starting to heavily fine folks who use it for paying for erotic items, and the vendors who offer it.  I may have to look into getting a merchant account for payments via an offical credit card.

Why oh why, Paypal!

More likely it has to do with keeping them out of lawsuits wherein people buy items that are illegal in their community via their service.

IE France and the Nazi merchandise thing on eBay a few years back.

I was told by some that they are using www.yowcow.com

... it's because paypal really is the scum of the earth. even post ebay buyout. they're looking for a 'legal' way to steal more money. so they modify the agremeent, and start stealing money again.
out of 7 paypal users i know, only 2 have not had to resort to calling a lawyer.
