One of our companies is an adult company, and we have a ebay division, we were kicked off of paypal because of the content of our ebay auctions....ebay did not have a problem with our auctions, but paypal did, sort of like trying to buy a xrated video and your credit card company won't let you because they do not approve of the content.
