Thread: Pay-Pal are things so different, or maybe we are going back a few Years | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I worked for a credit card processing center that handled porn sites before Paypal was around. And in that time, I dealt with many problem issues that came up. Chargebacks are very common in the porn industry because of several things. One is that people feel guilty about joining a porn site, so they charge back their cards saying it was fraudelent. Two is that they are so gunho to get to the porn from the teaser that they hit the Process Order button several times. Three is that people often are disappointed after they are "finished" that they want their money back and adult sites don't give refunds. The place I worked for finally had to drop adult sites because they were costing too much. Then Paypal came along and they must have made a deal with the devil, because to take credit cards for merchants that couldn't get a merchant account was unheard of in the industry. If Visa/Mastercard caught you doing that, at the time, you were dropped. Of course, the wide expanse of the internet has caused policies to change and markets to open wider. Paypal takes credit cards for everyone else. This means that they are bound by the chargebacks of everyone else. If they present too many chargebacks beyond what Visa/Mastercard is willing to tolerate, it's entirely possible they could lose their entire business. So, it's not really as puritan as it seems. If you get a chance, under their AUP, look at the entire list of items that they have banned for this. It isn't just adult material. I was surprised that you couldn't use Paypal to buy autographed photographs, even if it's Michael Moore (grin), the opposite of porn (grin). I do think they should take each on a case by case basis and have a chargeback percentage law in place rather than by content because a lot of sites like this one get shoved under the umbrella for what much more erotic sites do. The fines and freezing of accounts are illegal, so I don't know how they can do that, but they do. Paypal is certainly not innocent, but their restrictions are up to them unfortunately. Just as Renderosity has the option to take or not take them.

I came back after a bit here and saw what you were all talking about with the menu. However, I set my browser setting to Everytime IE starts and have had no problems with the menu loading or getting new information. Maybe that's how the powers that be have theirs set.

Thread: Important news for CafePress.com service users | Forum: Community Center
Was just there to delete my account and Cafepress has issued a statement on the cancellation page, regarding the bad wording of their latest TOS change. What they meant by the above is that they have the right to their website designs, logos, etc. They did no mean that they can take your property and do what they want with it. However, I canceled my account anyway because of the fees they are planning on charging (in their new TOS) for stores that don't "tow the line"
