I have a rather unethical website -- its not terribly bad at all.. but after 1.5 years of selling my product with PayPal, they finally checked it and I guess its against their policies. They gave me a month to remove all info about PayPal from my site. I continued to sell stuff through PayPal via my site, but finally I cleaned it up and now they're re-reviewing it. I've also had the option to pay via Google Checkout, and now checkout is my only payment option Since PayPal was the #1 choice people made, I fear that my sales will go down. But I am not sure if they will. I also fear that checkout will eventually ban me too. What can I do now? Do I go through Authorize.net? I set up a 2CO account and after 3 successful orders, 2CO canceled me! My website isnt anything super illegal. In fact, I dont believe its illegal. Its just a bit -- unethical. What can I do?
Without knowing what you exactly mean by a "bit unethical", it is tough to say. You should elaborate if you want concrete answers and advice.
you are selling bomb or adult material? try to research the related website and their payment system.
We would have to know what your site is about in order to refer you to a better suited payment processor. Since it's unethical and PayPal doesn't allow you to have its reference on your website then it must not be a great topic.
Because it is the content that is causing the problem, it is difficult to offer a solution without knowing the content.
Most payment processors specialize. Some in physical goods, some in digital downloads and/or subscriptions. Check this at the same time you check the Terms of Service. What part of 2CO's TOS did you violate?
