anyone use payoneer to sell stuff ?

Using a company like Payoneer is not an option. So very few people have an account that you won't get many sales. And don't expect people to sign up simply to buy from you, they won't - it will be a lot easier to buy from your competition.

The only intermediate payment company that is any use is PayPal, but I don't think they allow adult DVD sales (but it might be worth checking, as they have started allowing adult books, including the more extreme S&M ones, and to be honest, if I ran a payment processor I'd be happier selling vanilla porn DVDs to selling some of the books I distribute using PayPal).

I would guess that your only real option is to get your own merchant account and accept credit cards directly.

Thanks for responding to me.... It's greatly appreciated.

I'm forced to admit that this is becoming a lot of legal redtape, stupid rules and stupid people.

Paypal will process adult DVD sales. *BUT* only if I have a United States address. I'm not american and I have no plans to move there so this is a no go for me.

I've spoken to my bank but the questions and general *asshole-ness* of them is getting to be a bit much. I sell a legal product but it looks like bible thumpers have infiltrated the banks.

A US address is easy to get. Ask other board members (ones who live in the US, I don't) for details on companies over there offering business addresses.

If you are not in the US, you may find it easier to get an account through a non-US company rather than CCBill, because CCBill have to jump through all sorts of US hoops. Most European countries are laxer, and most don't require an up-front payment for the credit card processors (which I'm told is high in the US). This laxness probably explains why our banks are in the shittier at the moment (and why Obama wants us to extradite some of our bankers to the US for punishing), but it does make things a lot easier, cheaper and less red-tape-ish.
