This may be naive or old fashioned, but could they take checks? Can banks refuse to cash checks based on "morals"?

- beat 10y agoYes, but how much business would they lose?
- jakebasile 10y agoI'm sure some, but if even half the people who subscribed by card sent in checks, it's better than nothing.
- msbarnett 10y agoHalf would be a miracle, with that level of friction.

- Sharlin 10y agoAll international users, at the very least. Edit: FetLife is based in Canada. Are checks a thing there? (honest question from a European who has never even seen a check)
- hackerboos 10y agoCheques are very much still a thing in Canada. Especially for private rentals.
- msbarnett 10y agoReally? I haven't seen a cheque in years (also Canadian). I've been renting privately for years, and it's always been accomplished via email money transfer.
- viraptor 10y agoConsider their market. It's one thing to send a transaction which is in bank and payment processor records, but at least is mostly anonymous on the other side. It's another to send a piece of paper signed with your name, saying you're subscribing to an online fetish community.
