I'm trying to find some advice about receiving payment for adult work. I *feel* like this has been brought up, but I checked the 'paypal' and 'advice for artists' tags to no avail, so please direct me if this has been covered elsewhere.
It's a pretty known fact that PayPal doesn't allow the exchange of goods it can consider "obscene". Despite this, an overwhelming number of artists use it for these purposes anyway. For the most part(from my perspective), it appears a lot of artists don't get in trouble with paypal over this.
After a recent discussion with my partner about PayPal's terms, I've been feeling a bit dodgy about this rule in regards to taking NSFW commissions. Since this is my primary form of income, I have concerns about the possibility of my account being locked if it were somehow made clear to them I was implicitly creating "obscene" products
So, what I'm here to ask is: what's the best way to go about protecting my account? If it's just not feasible to adequately protect it, should I find another payment service- and if so, which is preferred/recommended?
