RE: Secret life of sex workers who live off bitcoin

Very Interesting the part about PAYPAL taking the girls money and not allowing... brings up a very good point of why or who lets these payment processors decide what is right or wrong? this woman is doing legal things which happen to be on the internet and being paid for by it, yet Paypal is not allowing the payment to go thru... Strange world we live in... Kids can buy cigarettes, guns, and go to war... we are regulated on what we can get paid for me, even if legal??? interesting topic! upvoted

Thanks for watching, that was my point exactly for sharing, you hit it on the nail. I wonder what PayPal does with all that money or at what point do they consider the funds abandoned and begin to use them 🤔

Paypal makes decisions based on risk and liability. They don't want any kind of business that can be charge-backed because of buyers-remorse. They dislike certain business models that have bad "stats". If they did keep her, and pay her out, and then customer decides to take it back, paypal would be in a hole for the amount if they can't collect. Research more about negative balance paypal accounts. Thats why crypto can deal with everything, every transaction is final, no risk involved. Of course their TOS is written to make them seem like a good guys.

Very True! i do understand paypal is there own entity and should have to the rights to choose who they wish to conduct business with... However Im in the business of manufacturing, and I've sold products internationally thru paypal... received payment in full, shipped out my product, and for whatever reason the customer wasn't able to pick up the package from the address we shipped due to some sort of family matter (i forget the scenario exactly) anyhow they asked for a full refund from paypal... in which paypal returned the money and i had to eat the shipping cost and pay to ship the package back home... cost me $300+ i tried to file a claim with paypal with no success... they're fantastic to shop with in the fact they always value the customers! however being a merchant they really don't take care of the merchants in a fair manner at all. Im with the girl... not a fan of paypal, and looking forward to the day i strictly can accept crypto payments with no 3rd partys ... Hopefully this really is the future??? sooner than later?
