Note this page talks, you were warned
eBay Store - Electronic Cigarette and Refills:
I found this via a sponsored link.
They don't sell via ebay but this page has a link to their store.
Ebay won't sell e cigs but they will advertise them.
Odd.
Wonder how long that paypal cart will work.

How is that whole "pay with paypal" thing gonna work?
I was searching for cigarette case and this came up as a sponsored link.
Did they change their mind?
What about paypal?

They have 0 products for sale.

That cant last long...trust me they snuck in...

i didn't look at the link yet, but ebay will end any auction or not allow any e-cigs to sold through ebay. however in the past i did find a ebay international guy selling e-cig kits. if payal doesn't know what is being sold or the seller calls it something else they would be able to get away with it. I think paypal cut-off the online retailers that used paypal check out system, maybe a person to person transaction they wouldnt catch on to it.

so whats your question- buying a kit or not and using paypal to pay? or wondering if people could use paypal in general to pay for e-cig stuff?

I put the "Super Health" Kit in "My Cart" and Paypal would have taken my money, I'm sure.

Apparently ebay will sell ads for e cigs. I did a search and in the sponsored links 2 other vendors came up. What is odd about this guy is that it take you to his ebay store, that you can't order from. But there is a link to his page were you can.

With ebay and paypal being the same company I am surprised his account is still up, since paypal has closed personal accounts of e cig sales.

I also wonder ,from an ash "sue the bastards" standpoint, if ebay would not still be liable for what ever trumped up charge ash threatened them with for advertisng e cigs as opposed to selling them. If you think about it all ebay does is advertise other's products.

So that was it. I thought it was odd considering all that is going on. If he gets shut down in a day or 2, he just slipped though the cracks. If he is up in a week, let the conspiracy theories about an ebay ad equaling protection money to paypal fly : )

PS at the time I typed this there were 2 ebay auctions for e cigs.
Nothing anyone here would want.

When you check his feedback as seller, you see he hasn't sold anything there since July.

Blimey that video clip on their site would put me off buying from them, never mind anything else

EBay are such hypocrites though. As well as banning the sale of e-cigs on their site plus their sister company, Paypal, closing down accounts associated with the sale of e-cigs. I have also been threatened that my ebay community group "all about e-cigarettes", that I set up a year ago, would be closed down unless I removed all links that let people know where they could buy e-cigs from.

Stranger, as well as that page "talking" as far as eBay is concerned, so does money & in a big way!

I refuse to do business with companies that try to interfere with my right to buy whatever the hell I want to with my own money. To hell with Paypal and Ebay. I tell retailers that have issues with Paypal to check out https://www.libertyreserve.com they are the same thing as paypal but lower fees, and they don't try to be moral crusaders. Shame they don't have the big name recognition that Paypal has only because of E-bay.
