Brandon Wade Is Fighting PayPal For Ditching Him

Posted on August 31, 2012

Brandon-Wade11BUSINESS INSIDER – Aug 31 – Brandon Wade runs an online dating empire including whatsyourprice.com, in which singles "bid" on first dates, and SeekingArrangement.com aimed at "sugar daddies." He recently sued PayPal, claiming it got rid of him because it deemed these businesses too "sexual" and even implied his websites promoted prostitution. Paypal is handling payments for Ashley Madison, a much more lucrative customer. So far, Wade has won a small victory in his case against PayPal. The judge in charge of the case rejected a motion to dismiss the suit before a trial.

    Maybe PayPal needs one of those signs that says, “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.”

    Paypal is not suitable as a primary payment mode for dating sites. Worthy as an alternate, but dating sites need at least three providers, plus mobile options. We have a comprehensive study of dating site payment providers here http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/payment-providers.html
