REGARDING OUR DISCONTINUATION OF PAYPAL

Posted 9/15/04

At this time, we are only accepting money orders and personal checks as payment.

We have decided to discontinue our honoring and the use of PayPal due to PayPal’s preposterous banning of nudity in artwork for all auctions and all websites that accept PayPal.

To put it bluntly, we’ll be damned if a payment portal determines the content of artwork Melanie creates and offers to the public, and if having the right to create freely means not including Paypal as a payment option, so be it. We’re counting on the fact that many of our patrons also share our feelings on censorship, and can understand our decision to not change the catalog of Melanie’s work offered online, or to support a company that would seek to judge the moral value of an artist’s work.

If you have any questions regarding payment for Melanie’s Ebay auctions or website purchases, or anything else for that matter, please send along a query and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Thanks for bearing with us as we restructure our payment policies, we hope to have the chance to work with you soon!

Best Wishes,

Melanie and the MelanieArt “team”. :)
