The problem with Paypal...

And other TOS issues

----

PAYPAL

Paypal does not allow their services to be used for adult entertainment. Alright, fine. Lots of models do it, why won't you? Well, if they catch a model using paypal, they will freeze her account, keep the money (or return it to the person who paid it), and never ever let her sign up for another account. Meaning, she'll have to use another name, another email address, and another bank account.

Want to know just how seriously they take this? If they find out that an account holder is a webcam model, even if she has NEVER used it to receive money for adult entertainment services, she gets treated to this same consequence. There's many stories of models having their account frozen because a member of a webcam site donated to her funds when it had nothing to do with camming- like her "help me buy a house" fund, or her "I need a new computer" fund, or even her "give my daughter a REAL Christmas" fund. Yup, apparently it's not enough for us to not use their services for adult entertainment purposes, adult entertainers are not allowed to use their services at all.

THIS is why no paypal. Ever.

"But I'm honest bb"

Doesn't matter. You might forget one day, and put a cute note in that gives paypal a clue. I know one girl who had that happen to her- the guy had been using it with her for a year or more, and accidentally put "thanks for the show" in the note. BAM, her account has been frozen. He got the money to her another way, but the damage is already done. She will never be able to  use paypal again.

MEDIAFIRE

MediaFire doesn't allow pornographic materials to be distributed through their site. There is a way around this, and being caught will only result in your file links not working. They will still be on mediafire for you to download, but will not be available to anyone else.

So how do you get around this? Zip them with a password! And name the zip file something innocuous (like "gift" or "kitty" or "toys". Words that will get your link broken: pussy, penis, dick, fuck, suck, dildo, bang)

If you use winzip:

-rightclick the file or folder  you want to zip
-mouse over "Winarchiver >" until the other menu pops up
-click "add to archive..." (DO NOT click the one that's already named)

a little popup window that says "save archive" should pop up over the open archive.
in "save archive to" you can change the name if you know what you're doing. If you don't, leave it be- you can change the name of it later.

-Go to the "advanced" tab
-click the checkbox that says "enable password protection"
-in the popup, type what password you want. make sure you note it down somewhere so you can give it to the guys who buy it.

If you use 7-zip (it's free!)


-rightclick the file or folder  you want to zip
-mouse over "7-zip >" until the other menu pops up
-click "add to archive..." (DO NOT click the one that's already named)

A popup should appear

-In the "Archive" box, type what you want the archive to be named
-in the right hand column is a section called "encryption". Enter what password you want to use there, and again in the other box. Make sure to note it down somewhere so you can give it to the guys who buy it.

Know another site that isn't adult friendly? Know how to get around it? Let me know!
