Amazon has closed venders using the word vape in their listing or company name before too. Usually they reopen omitting the word in a couple of weeks.

The problem with ebay is if it's reported to paypal, their $ can be seized and account closed.

I think a number of companies get reported by competitors or by manufacturers because they aren't "authorized retailers" with agreements. It's kinda like playing whack-a-mole.

I tried to buy some aspire clone coils but paypal wouldn't accept the order. I never did figure out how to pay for them using ebay.

Sometimes you can pay by using "other" when making a $$ transfer through pp

So that's why Fasttech calls they're vaping stuff "electronic gadgets."
Last i checked SS Acrylic PP cotton silica kanthal, contain zero derivatives from tobacco so its not a lie. It is absolutely stupid to even classify the devices as such. The juice containing nicotine extracted from tobacco while i do not consider it tobacco and see as a real stretch is the only viable thing to even consider a tobacco product.

Quit using Amazon, Ebay and paypal for everything.
While i agree, i generally support US Born/Ran Websites who often have local B&M's , It doesnt change my mind that i can/will get whatever i want and trying to tell me some piece of stainless steel or quartz cylinder is somehow a tobacco product i await the day i get caught "smuggling" unauthorized tobacco "products"

I think it will be funny when they start some class action law suits for false advertising. When you buy a mod and it says "This product contains tocacco" but it doesn't that's completely FALSE! It's like saying disposable lighters or matches are a tobacco product.

I cannot wait til they try to enforce that it does, we vape'rs will rise up and bring the largest lawsuit in the 21'st century! We may have to have a martyr here and there but in the end i think we will win against the unjust overregulation. The only ground they have is in the nicotine itself. Hell look at a lot of attys most of them look like some sort of commercial chemical agitator

Did you know that tomatoes and bell peppers contain nicotine? And why is it if I buy batteries, cotton, or wire at a vape shop it's a tobacco product but if I buy those same items anywhere else they are not?

Its a money grab, which is why until it is enforced is harder to litigate. Try charging me with having a tobacco product that is not "authorized" yet contains zero nicotine or tobacco. Yea ill take your shirt off your back FDA!! Hopefully the guy i voted for does something bout this :D we'll see

Well, with all the cracking down on vape stuff on eBay, I was pretty amused when I just got this email of their most popular items (I had to clip it but it's recognizable as really from eBay)

Looks like their search filters still need a bit of work if they're serious about vape gear.
