Celebrity adult content creator Belle Delphine complained that PayPal blocked her account and withheld nearly $90,000 she earned from selling her bath water, but after publicity about the incident, the funds were released.
Bath Belle
Uncensored bath
British internet star Belle Delphine, known for her provocative content for adults, was recently at the center of a scandal with the PayPal payment system. According to the blogger, the service, without warning, froze her account, which contained about 90 thousand dollars, proceeds from the sale of bottled water from her bath.
The outraged Dolphin was quick to share her outrage on social networks. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she openly spoke out about the actions of the payment giant, which instantly attracted the attention of numerous followers. Soon, representatives of the media also got involved in the case, in particular the authoritative publications Business Insider and The Verge.
Shower Policy
PayPal's rules limited the trading of physical goods, such as DVDs or magazines with adult content, to domestic US transactions only. Given that Belle Delphine is based in the UK, her activity in selling bath water was technically in violation of company policy.
Moreover, a year earlier, PayPal's policy included a fine of $2,500 for each prohibited item. Considering the cost of bottles of water from the blogger’s bath at $11 apiece, one can imagine the scale of potential sanctions from the payment system.
Everything returned to normal
However, faced with widespread public outcry, PayPal reconsidered its decision and unfrozen the funds in Belle Dolphin's account. This allowed the creator of erotic content to once again gain access to her legitimate income, earned in an unconventional, but completely legal way.

What kind of idiotic idea is it to sell used bath water? 🤢 People are willing to pay for some crap these days. All these modern trends are simply ridiculous.

Don't judge strictly, mon ami! 💋 For some it may be a fetish or a way to make money. The main thing is that PayPal eventually returned her funds.

Certo, è un po' strano, ma se c'è domanda, perché non offrire l'offerta? 💰 Sono contenta che PayPal abbia risolto la situazione alla fine.

Nie sądziłem, że ktoś kupi taką wodę, ale to pokazuje, że ludzie są gotowi zapłacić za najbardziej niezwykłe rzeczy. 🤷♂️ Dobrze, że PayPal w końcu to rozwiązał.

¡Qué locura! 💃 Aunque es un negocio poco convencional, creo que si no hace daño a nadie, ¿por qué no? Me alegro de que PayPal recapacitara al final.

Es ist ziemlich ungewöhnlich, aber wenn es eine Marktnische dafür gibt, warum nicht? 🤷♂️ Gut, dass PayPal am Ende eine Lösung gefunden hat.

Quite an unconventional business model, I must say! 🧐 While it may seem peculiar, if there's a demand for it, who are we to judge? Glad it all worked out in the end with PayPal.
