First of all...my site is NOT A PORN SITE!!!! I had a button under a plant prop set and pose set for crying out loud! Secondly, the images I have in my gallery are pretty tame if you ask me. If there is any nudity, it's women's - errr make that a 3D MODEL's - breasts, nothing below the waist. I have 1 (2 at most) image in the entire gallery that shows full nudity. These ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE! Someone needs to get their head out of their ass. Third...why the hell is Renderosity allowed to sell everything and anything through PayPal. If someone is going to "label" sites as porn sites I'd much quicker label Rosity as one before I'd label mine as such. I think most people would agree. One example tells it all - the genital props. Are these not "adult content"? Not to mention that PayPal specifically states: "Items not falling under this category and which are therefore not permitted include items which are intended for use in a sexual setting (such as "bondage" and "fetish" items), items which display sexual activity or portray human genitalia in a "life-like" or realistic fashion, and vibrators intended for use in sexual activity (as opposed to ordinary massagers)." Don't even try to tell me that PayPal doesn't know about Renderosity and the like. I don't give a crap if it's Visa or PayPal - PayPal is STEALING money! That lawsuit linked to above - the last update was December 2003 - last month. I have recently gotten into collecting books. I have had a look around on eBay. Although I didn't look at any "adult" stuff, I believe it's there and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that people are buying it with PayPal!! Nearly every merchant I looked at ONLY accepts PayPal! "...call the FBI instead of whining. use the LAW. it's what it's there for!" I'm not whining. I'm telling people MY story. You can choose to believe or not believe what's on the other sites but I've posted my actual email exchanges with PayPal. I'm not about to hire a lawyer to get them to reinstate my account when I refuse to give them another red cent. That would be a pretty stupid thing to do. And just for the record, I could care less who's behind it. I could care less if PayPal allows "adult" sites to offer PayPal. The point is that they are thieves. And they are hypocrites. The very fact that Renderosity accepts PayPal should tell you at least that much. Oh, and let me add that in the 3 years I had my PayPal account, I conducted only about 10-15 transactions - only 5 involved me receiving any money and that was under the name of my old website. It says right on your account whether you're verified or not and how many transactions you have received money for - mine says "Verified (5)" So folks, if it ain't about porn - no porn on my site - and it ain't about money - they barely made enough off of me to buy a box of donuts - then it seems to me to be a case of good old fashioned FRAUD & THIEVERY!
