I want to know about selling my panties with paypal. I read that I can get in trouble. Is it true?

Paypal is a widely utilized e-commerce businesses that facilitates online money transfers. Unlike their parent company eBay, which specifically lists used panties as a restricted item in their use policy, Paypal’s documentation remains rather vague on the subject, which can understandably lead to confusion while doing related research.

Their history of allowing sales of adult goods has been shaky but as of now the general public has two sets of Paypal documentation to use as a reference in determining whether or not their services can be used to sell used panties.

The more specific Help Center answer to How does PayPal determine which sexually oriented goods and services to permit? states that certain adult goods which are physically delivered are permissible. However, don’t think so quickly that used panties falls under that category.

In their Acceptable Use Policy it is states that the services cannot be used for “…items that are considered obscene…” and “… certain sexually oriented materials or services….”

It’s hard to decipher from that whether or not they allow sale of used panties, specifically. You may be given the impression through their Customer Service that they are alright with such transactions but, again don’t get too excited….

You may have go so far as to e-mail (they don’t accept phone calls) the Brand Risk Management department at Paypal–which does the actual interpretation and enforcement of policies–to get a definite answer. They’ll likely summarize only the two points in the Acceptable Use Policy and then specifically add that, yes, utilizing their services for the sale of used panties is a violation of it.

Those who violate this policy are subjected to a range of actions–from account suspension to hefty fines.

How does Paypal find out if someone has used their services for the sale of used panties? Only they really know the answer to that but keep in mind that they do have numerous links for reporting violations as well as records of account holder invoices/transactions/e-mail accounts, maybe even knowledge of popular selling venues, and…access to search engines.

This policy applies to those who use their account to buy used panties as well–however likely they are to be discovered!

Some sellers have knowledge of the violation and its potential consequences and go about utilizing their services anyway, in a deemed ‘discreet’ manner with patrons that they ‘trust’. It is very much a gamble. Is it worth it when, say, you have your rent money for the month tucked away inside of the account, or use it consistently for things not related to used panties? That is your decision.
