Canadian Nudists To Paypal: Don't Cut Us Off, Eh!

These photos of seniors doing the bunny hop is just down right scary and I AM a senior! A group of naked Canadians are looking into a class action lawsuit against PayPal. The Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN), aka Canadian nudists, claims that after four years of business, PayPal suddenly cut off services to them, no longer processing their magazine subscription payments.

PayPal excludes “sexually oriented Web sites” for the purchase of digital goods such as membership and subscription fees. Yet PayPal can be used by any Web site for the sale of sexually oriented goods, like DVDs or magazines that are delivered by hand to customers. Nothing worse than a gang of pissed off naked Canucks, I say.

PayPal claims this is due to the immense administrative cost of doing business with an industry riddled with criminal schemes and frequent "charge backs" (when a customer disputes a charge to their paypal account.) In addition to this discrepancy between physical and digital goods, PayPal further reserves the right to deny Web sites that are distributing sexually oriented material involving minors or for Web sites that "facilitate meetings for sexually oriented activities." These two lines from the Mature Audiences section of their Acceptable Use Policy are what PayPal claims the FCN has violated. (switched)
