MemberI lost the e-mail I had received from PayPal’s Acceptable Use (or whatever they call it) department. Basically, I had received verbal approval and something vague in writing. However, when it came down to getting actual approval in writing, well, it didn’t go so well. In fact, THEY DO NOT ALLOW PP to be used for any worn adult items. In fact, their new policy doesn’t allow for much of anything adult natured.
Good luck.
MemberAnd Ms. Vetter actually ‘only’ got 5 years probation and had to participate in a “mental health” program (wtf?)
MemberI did some more research and was rather surprised to find out that just about all porn is illegal, technically. Arggh.. most of my reply was just accidentally erased. But yeah. So they got her basically on obscenity laws. For USA, google obscenity laws. By those standards 90% of your average ‘adult’ store is illegal.
MemberI do things weird ways, but i stick to ’em. Panty selling is not the main topic of the meeting. This, however, does not bode well –
“There are potenitally a lot of problems selling panties. A girl in South Carolina was prosecuted for selling obscene and dirty material. See the story below.
Clemson grad pleads guilty to mailing ‘filthy’ panties
By Anna Simon
CLEMSON BUREAU
asimon@greenvillenews.comANDERSON — A recent Clemson University graduate pleaded guilty Friday in federal court to using the U.S. Postal Service to mail “indecent and filthy things” that she sold through her Internet Web site.
Christine A. Vetter, who graduated in May, will be sentenced after a presentence report is completed. The maximum sentence she could face is a fine of up to $250,000 and five years in jail and two to three years of supervised release, U.S. District Judge G. Ross Anderson Jr. said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald said in court that between November 2000 and this past March, while Vetter was a Clemson student, she operated a Web site from which she sold and mailed soiled panties.
Other items included used feminine hygiene products, used condoms and sex aids, he said.
McDonald said the case is unique because of the type of items mailed. He said during his research on the case that he “couldn’t find any other reported cases.”
“For the most part this statute has been used to prosecute offenders that mailed photographs or writing that could be considered obscene or filthy. In this instance we are talking about actual things, rather than photographs or writings of those things,” McDonald said.
Vetter, 21, of Central, told the judge that she got the idea when she “stumbled upon” an adult auction Web site.
“I needed some spending money because I was in college and needed a job,” she said.
She said she mailed unwashed clothing, audio cassette tapes, photographs and used vibrators.
She also said she made less than $6,000 but had no exact total. She said she had about 100 customers throughout the nation, and she said that she ran the Web site alone.
Postal investigators learned of Vetter’s enterprise because of a disgruntled customer who had bought panties, McDonald said.
Postal investigators found records of 225 sales through the Web site ranging from $20 to $50 depending on the item, McDonald said.
The Web site has been taken down, McDonald said.”
Member🙂
MemberLOL.
Thank you, I don’t think I’ve been congratulated for wearing underwear before – at least not in the last 25 years. (I suppose I might have gotten some praise in those potty training years :laugh:)

Hmmmm… that would seemingly wipe out the entire online porn business. :huh: I have not heard of anything like that except in regards to certain payment processors. I’d be interested to hear more about this if anyone has any information.I have only heard about this in regards to PayPal, and I probably posted that here. I am not aware of any general laws about this, and if there isn’t and that idea came from what I posted, sorry 🙁
Member[quote author=pntywife link=topic=2427.msg16373#msg16373 date=1186535954]
So if PayPal is not a viable option, what does everyone use? I’m brand new at this and certainly can’t afford a Visa merchant account or whatever. Thanks in advance for the help ladies!!!!!I stick with AlertPay and money orders, or cash mailed 100% at their own risk.
MemberI have a buddy that is really wanting to start selling his underthingies. He’s straight but doesn’t care of the preference of buyers. Another friend is curious and a little scared and feels more comfortable marketing to men as that’s what he’s interested in.
MemberWhen i finally get the ‘eggs’ to meet with some business advisers (for a variety of reasons), i’ll ask how to find out for sure about legality in the US. Could be several months out still, but i almost-promise to post what i learn here.

I’d like to know what is so special about victoria’s secret panties. Anyone?Not entirely sure. But i know in a lot of towns it’s the only fairly well known nearly “undies only” store. It’s the *one* that’s in malls all over. And from what i’ve heard it’s the one men hear about from their friends when they’re in high school (have had good quality catalogs for years). Then there’s the commercials.
Personally, i don’t care that much for them. Sometimes i fall in love with the idea of ’em and buy a bunch. Those end up in the sale pile pretty quick. I’ve probably got 10 pair of VS to sell.
Ladies – pass on an VS mesh with little rhinestones. Sooooo cute, but quite uncomfortable, trust me.
MemberA lot of people lie about their age, but i believe there was an option you could check in preference to only allow users over 18 to view/add.
MemberAlertPay is what i use. A lot of buyers don’t seem to want to use it. For those i accept well concealed cash via regular mail. Some people accept Amazon gift certificates/gifts or other such things as payment instead.
MemberSorry for the delay. I hope it was grand 🙂
MemberI know that, at least where I am, in the USA – there is little no to know honest talk about underpants and the natural things that may be left in them. I was seriously ashamed for years of what now I know is a valuable commodity. There’s a chance this guy is legit.
