Paypal cancelled Johnson Creek account

I got my freaking order in just yesterday, so I'm a lucky sumbastard I guess.

Recommend suppliers withdrawl into their bank accounts as soon as feasible. You don't want PP locking your account pending an 'inquiry'.

Also, check out Google Checkout. A friend who is working on a NFP unrelated to ecigs got locked out (& funds frozen) by Paypal for excessive activity shortly after the project launched and he was able to transition to Google without any problems for donations. This was just last week.

I'll bet that explains why my order to TW wouldn't go through this afternoon...

ETA: nope--I tried again and it did go through.

Just got my final "stocking up" order in to TW yesterday as well.

paypal,google and all the rest are false security blankets. you can always make a phone call to your credit card company and reverse any transaction just as easy if not easyer than paypal/google. also if you do dispute a clam with a credit card company, it cost the retailer big bucks!
the retailers only use pp/g because of you! the customer, CC are cheaper for the retailer to use for any kind of business unless your sales are lower than 10K week. Screw PP/G and all the rest
Im not mad, i just like getting even

Yes i was once a internet retailer and i got screw more than once by PP/G both.
It got so bad i just got out.

Edit to add, you can get a pre-paid cc at any store

I just had to use my credit card to order supplies with one supplier. This is the second time I tried to order using PayPal and it did not work! There was a yellow background colored message (too ticked to remember exactly what it stated) telling me I could not use it. Stupid goober ..... ignorant manipulative controlling bozos.

That's directed to the PayPal people!!! NOT to the suppliers...I need and love you people.

But a few of the suppliers I have used *only* accept PayPal. Or at least, they did...

There was no option for Visa or MasterCard, at all.

Apparently PayPal did some sort of housekeeping today, and it boogered up the site for most of the afternoon. I had tried to make orders from both Eastmall and TW. FInally got the Eastmall order in, but the TW order wouldn't go through--it kept saying "try another method of payment." Well, there was no option.

But after I read this thread I tried again, and it did go through, so for the moment it looks as if you can still order from TW.

Hi Guys ( 1st time here! )
Well if e bay own paypal or visa versa I guess it follows, but it does make one wonder what other reasons they may have, might they be involved in the tobacco industry? Does anyone remember when e bay / paypal was cool & hip. By the way is this ban only affecting the USA so far?

Not good... NOT GOOD AT ALL! I becha u can use paypal with tobacco purchases online, bong/pipe/hookah purchases online, so on and so forth. WTF is the big deal with paypal and e-cigs? What does paypal have to lose, or does it GAIN somehow monetarily? Logic says it would only lose money. There is no official ban yet, but paypal is all ornory over e-cigs, regardless of the benefits or harm to anyone.

A quick question if i may: can u use paypal linked to a different credit line or checking account for e-cigs? If not, my card is getting CUT UP ASAP! I dont use it for anything but e-cig stuff!
