The Merchants effected are not without options. Poserpros does accept some of the items that do appear to be affected here and they also work with Paypal. Richabri is a merchant there as well. Check out the restrictions on other sites and see what can be done. As Diane herself said, R'otica does not accept Paypal but does allow for Check and CC payments. Diane has been very gracious in dealing with customer service issues as well. I have dealt with her both through e-mail and over the phone. R'otica itself is a free-site unless you want to get into the Premiere picture galleries. You still need to sign-up for a membership through to protect them.
