Google Check-Out

[Serena]

I’ve been reading their (very wordy) T&C’s and as far as I can see adult related material is no longer disputed… i think… :unsure:

Anyone using it?

https://checkout.google.com/termsOfService

This would be very big news and a huge change as Google has always clearly stated that adult products were a no no. I’ll look through the terms and see if I find any mention on the web of a change in g-payments terms.

Thanks PK
It would be huge and great news!!
I have noticed quite a few worn panties relates google ads coming up too, so maybe their policies are changing…

:S

hmmm.. I found this https://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=75724&hl=en:

Unacceptable product categories

Examples

Academic paper-writing and test-taking services Pre-written essays, thesis papers, and dissertations; offers for paper-writing or test-taking services.

Adult goods and services

Pornography and other sexually suggestive materials (including literature, imagery and other media); escort or dating services; novelties and toys

I guess worn panties classes as novelties and sexually suggestive materials?

Looks as if its just general enough to keep us good panty folk out of google checkout.

I personally would steer clear until there is either no mention of pornography, as I do with most services, or a response directly from someone at google checkout stating that used panty sales are okay.

I just emailed them and I’m waiting for a response. I’ll post here when I get it.

They haven’t responded yet. I think I’ll send another email. Geez…

From the Merchant Forum:
“Any sexually related items would be a violation. I have a suspicion that used underwear would likely fall into this category.”

No google checkout for us. 🙁
