Hmmm. Problems with payment processors. Really?

Here's the PayPal User Agreement.

Search for "mature" or "adult". The only reference in the entire document is in this line:

4.8 Receiving Payments from Student Accounts. PayPal may block your ability to receive payments from Student Accounts if you sell goods or services that may be illegal for minors to purchase under any applicable laws or regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, alcohol, tobacco or adult-oriented materials.

*So if you sell adult-oriented materials, you may be blocked from receiving payments from Student Accounts. 

And on the Acceptable Use Policy

You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:

[...] (f) items that are considered obscene, (g) items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any jurisdiction, (h) certain sexually oriented materials or services

Ebay has an entire sub-store dedicated to mature content (with everything from toys to bondage eq to flicks to gadgets), and it is thoroughly integrated with PayPal, as you'd expect.

They absolutely do not have a blanket policy in regards to adult content. They have the industry standard "nothing obscene" plus a generalized "certain sexually oriented materials" clause that could, if necessary, mean anything, but is almost certainly, given the nature of the merchants they permit on Ebay, not going to include something as prosaic as 3d figures with genitals -- unless you're letting your customers post naked kiddies on your site or posting simulations of torture/snuff animations.

Visa, Mastercard, etc most definitely have no issue working with purveyors of outright kinky porn.
