Thanks, but I would prefer to remain a bit anonymous until I can get this sorted out.
My goal with this thread is to try and get some connection to somebody at PayPal that can help me.
There was nothing obscene on the site, and in our FAQ, it was made clear that this wasn't a gay phone sex service. Regardless, the PayPal employee I spoke to agreed that it wasn't some obscene porno or sex service.

you have:
"You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:"
"relate to sales of [...] (e) items that are considered obscene [...] (g) certain sexually oriented materials or services"
I work on (amongst other things) a gay online discussion group/social network. A lot of what's discussed on there would probably be considered obscene by the population at large, and is certainly sexually orientated in many cases.
I suspect your site is similar. Care to post a link to it?
eg, Someone saying "Gay phone sex is great!" is probably ok. Someone saying "I just had a gay phone sex call where they said they'd do [x] to my [y] while swinging from the [z]" may not be.
