That would be ideal, except PayPal's Terms Of Service does not allow CFS to use them because of adult/pornographic/etc. content.
Considering all the management issues facing me, I've actually decided to follow a variation of jonn3's advice above, although the other party and I have not begun negotiating yet.
I have engaged a tax accountant and business formation professional to help me prepare and get my records in order and make some changes to the corporate structure that need to done beforehand. When I actually make a deal with the other party, who will have actual ownership of what, how access and registration might or might not change, and so on will have to be worked out.
I will stress to them that the majority of Sex Listings content does come from unregistered anonymous "Guests" of the site. For this type of site and audience, a lot of users simply cannot or don't want to register.
For those who do register and who are willing to pay something, they may ways to pay other than by credit card. For example, FetLife Supporters can pay by snail mail sending a money order or a check.
Without getting too much into my personal life and the issues that caused so much delay, I did achieve a major milestone when my ex-partner finally moved out a couple weeks ago. I'm still in a sort of constant rush, sorting things out and dealing with my own health issues, but for me personally and CFS generally we're on the right path now.
CFS unfortunately must see that essential upgrade and reprogramming delayed while this deal - to bring such needed help! - is worked out.
