Paypal cited my ModelCentro page as the reason for suspending my account
Just a heads up. I thankfully dont have much in my Paypal right now but they just sent me an email stating my account is frozen forever and money held for 180 days, linking my ModelCentro website as the reason.
I made my Paypal account about 5 months ago specifically so that I could buy one thing, so theres only been one transaction for a major retailer on the website, which I know didnt violate their TOS.
So what's left is that ModelCentro uses Paypal as a payment processor and really shouldn't, or Paypal hates pornography and sex worker so, so, so much, that they found evidence of my nudity online and shut my account down because reasons.
Fair warning ladies and gents, I wouldn't have any money just sitting in Paypal right now if you're affiliated with MC. You might end up like me and not be able to get it until April 2016 lol. Paypal is on the warpath.

@H.Hally, very sorry to hear, looks like they are on a warpath.
We do not use or recommend using Paypal for any adult payments at all, in particular because they are not adult-friendly.
Apparently, they found your website on MC and closed the account thinking that you were using Paypal for adult payments, it's all the more unfortunate knowing that you weren't.
We pay out via paxum, payoneer, check, ACH or wire, as stated in our payout guide here: http://modelcentro.com/support/post/19220
And the billing on your websites are done through a payment account of a biller accredited for processing adult payments with Visa and Mastercard.
Paypal has always been anti-adult and has closed accounts for adult transactions but this is the first time I've heard of them closing an account like this. May I make this known in the other cam model forums, please? I'd like to copy and paste both your posts in the "Models Only" section on ACF
@H.Hally Sorry i didn't get how did paypal know you have a pay site?
I had one a few years ago and I found out quickly they do not like anything associated with porn / adult. The closed mine down and anything associated with my home address was banned from ever using paypal now too. You have to go through different sites to sell things and luckily modelcentro as there own processing for our memebrships.
Welcome to the club at Paypal.
Until 21/2 years ago I work with Paypal (Skype Shows). Until Paypal frozen my account.
I work with Paypal 3 months, was up my account frozen by Paypal.
I advise against any model to NO work with Paypal.
Paypal account balance at the moment € 0.00.
I had all the money tranferiert on the cash card by Paypal. Many Models losing by this policy money to Paypal. Paypal pays the money out after several months.
11/2 year ago tokens could be bought at Cam4 via Paypal. This has also been canceled.
I have read, Paypal is the rethink its policy and open the adult area. Only when?
@Natalie
In Germany Visa or Master cards are not widespread. In Germany Mastro and Visa are credit cards (no debit card) . This must be requested, with creditworthiness. Many customers have only one bank card or Maestro. These are not accepted by all sides. This many customers use Paypal, Paysafecard, Amazon and Co. This is a problem for us.
Here in Spain I open an account at a bank and automatically get a Visa or Mastro debit card.
Rebecca, sure
@spaingirl I know, I have a Maestro myself.
For certain countries, the billing company does special payment methods that are particularly widespread in the area. I'm not an expert on this, but I believe for German IPs your sites will offer Sofort as a payment option. In the US, Discover Cards have been accepted recently. Neither takes Paypal still, of course - we can not and will not break any payment method's terms of service and endanger your funds.
This is what I meant.
I advise against any model NO work with Paypal.
what about to have a paypal account regestred by your boyfriend?
I've been really lucky with PayPal I guess. I made an account with them in January 2012 using the email address holly at dirtylittleholly.com before I knew they didn't allow adult. They flagged me one time when I first created the account and gave me a warning saying not to mention anywhere on my website that I accept PayPal. I haven't had a problem since, and I've done thousands of dollars worth of transactions.
I made it a business account and put my business name as DLH, which is dirtylittleholly's initials. Maybe that's why they let me slide. Not really sure. I'm gonna go knock on wood now haha
