I am considering using PayPal for my next product. Wondering if there is a list of products PayPal does not allow in order to avoid a problem later. I have tried to find a list on PayPal but not seeing any info on this or at least I cannot find it.

    There is. From memory, anything relating to gambling, some adult items and alcohol, but you can check it out for yourself here:

    Note that some items are not forbidden but are not covered by Paypal for refunds etc either.

    Hope this helps

      These lists above are all typical products not allowed. In these markets, you need a high risk approval. It's the products and business models they don't tell you about upfront.

      These are the bigger problems with getting slammed later. Avoid it by securing alternative options.

      Yeah, that's a link below to solve it.

    Yea, I totally understand paypal wanting to make sure sketchy businesses which have a lot of dissatisfied customers or potential illegal activities are not a part of paypal. Sure, paypal could make more money, but their liabilities increase. I have a lot of respect for paypal not working with just anybody. I personally have had great experiences with paypal.
