"-Minimal cleavage exposure. The majority of the female breast must be clothed (at least 80%).
-No suggestive or sexual positioning."

Well, there goes 75% of the Marketplace. Seriously. These criteria will all be subject to someone else's value judgements. And in order to meet any possible definition, some of the most innocent stuff will be a no-go.

"It's the fact that statistics show that people who order mature products on the Internet (ie. Porn site customers) have a much higher charge back rate than other groups."

From the point of view of someone who has experience running such sites and contact with many others, this is actually not true. There are some trouble sites, as in any market, but VISA & PayPal's targeting of the Adult market has been disproportionate. They've been extremely Draconian over the past year and a half. Don't expect that to change for a few more years, either.

My question is this:
Will there be some kind of flag or notification for potential customers between now and the 22nd for anything that might be pulled from the MP due to TOS restrictions? Preferably something that would show up when we look at our WishLists. I too second the mention of the R'otica MP, but that's going to be every merchant's individual decision.
