Oddly, though, Paypal processes transactions for PHE's (Philip Harvey) online adult product sales.
For those who aren't familiar, I'll link to wikipedia, NOT to the site I'm referring to.

Edited to add after half my post went missing: It seems to me that Paypal has chosen to define where the line is for them, rather than trying to navigate the hazy waters of defining "obscenity", which is better than the "we know it when we see it" hit-and-miss approach that some companies take.
