Amazon.com policy on selling e-cigs

[Slickstick]

they will sell on amazon even with high prices, not everyone knows about this forum

Yep, and since Amazon.com is a world wide distributer--it should help get the world out--depending on how Electronic Cigarette is cross indexed in their computer.

'quite smoking cigarettes' probably doesn't equal 'e-cigarette' on Amazon's computer when you type it in the Search bar.

I linked my supplier on my Wish List using the Universal Wish List button.

You have to create a Wish List on Amazon (things you want - I use the list for those family members that are located far away to be able to see what I would like for a present). Usually you can only link items from Amazon's website or vendors that sell on Amazon. But, with the Universal Wish List button you can link ANY item from the web onto your list. When the link is accessed/clicked it takes you to the website where the item is being sold. This way my fam can see what I want AND that vendor gets the sale.

I'm sure Amazon tracks these items to see what they don't carry on their site that people are buying or wanting.

It's just some people slipping through the cracks. I emailed Amazon to ask and here's what I got back:

Hi Everyone

So does this mean we can use Amazon simple pay for a checkout choice on our sites? Or is that a no no.
And have any of you fellow vendors used Amazon checkout on your sites with any success.
Thanks

If you click on the Amazon links for the e-juice you can see how they got away with it: they call it a personal vaporizer. More vendors should do the same because that's exactly what it is.
