Google's GBuy Accepting Adult?
 
Can anyone confirm, either way, that GBuy will or will not accept adult site transactions?

According to one news item it says:

"While PayPal has refused to process transactions for adult content online, there is no word on what competition from Google might mean in terms mainstream payment firms looking to capitalize on the multibillion-dollar online porn industry."

Apparently, they will be launching this week.

Okay, found this news article that explains a little further:

So it looks like G won't be doing adult, especially when they don't accept adult stuff in their video section or adwords.

I guess they will also link their Froogle and G Base to their payment system, but I'll bet they won't connect adult products.

It's going to be called Google CheckOut not GBuy.

its the same story as paypal

Well, their TOS expressly forbids it. And they don't allow AdSense ads to be displayed on adult sites, so I don't see why they'd let adult avdertising slide.

Actually their content guidelines for adwords only prohibits CP - anything else is fine:

same here, promote adut sites on AdWords. you can't use some hardcore words like Fuck / Suck in your Ads is the only restriction I see.

Do you mean Google Checkout? If so, see link:

You can advertise adult with AdWords, they're just picky about the words that will show up in their text adverts. They rejected one of mine because it had the word "pussy" in the domain name showing under the adverts text description.

Google Pay
 
Does anyone know if GPAY or the new payment processor set to be launched by Google will accept adult related payments?

Useless 2006-07-24 09:43 PM

No, they will not. http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ght=google+pay
