Porn sites are subject to the same rules with Visa/MC as they are with PayPal. The difference is with Visa/MC, you can find a processor that will allow it, but you have to pay thousands per year in surcharges. I myself had a guy on an Asian network hack a guy's account in the United States. He then came to my site, signed up two monthly recurring accounts, setup subscriptions to pay on paypal, and left. Had I not had fraud protection in there and acted on it, I would have lost money, and probably had my paypal account locked also. You just have to cover yourself best you can. -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Plans start @ $1.99/month. "Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for the rest of the day.
