I was trying to buy the Oddy v2 ceremic upgrade kit from them but when i was try to check out and pay for it the only 2 option of payment is direct deposit or cash on delievery (For greece only). International money transfer take way too long and cost an arm and a leg.

As an international seller shouldn't Paypal be a prerequisite?


I had a look at GG UK but they are sold out and have very little spare parts to offer..

I think we really need a better international sellers... more stock/more spare parts/paypal as payment option...something closer to that of COV.

paypal is not an option for Greek seller any more pimpe. Paypal kept his money for a long time and they had no intension to open his account but after about 30 phone calls they opened it.!!
Then they told him that they will keep the 15% of his money for 60 days on every trascaction and they will give it back to him the 61th day.

Paypal's people are idiots if you want my opinion. They did the same to me 2 times in past and they kept 1000 euros the first time and 10.000 euros the second time. When I asked them the reason they told me that they cant tell me the reason. So they kept my money and they didnt want to tell me the reason? :lol::lol:
You cant work like this if you agree!

ps....... in about 1 week the credit card option will be available

Paypal have some advantages over other payment methods:
1. It's fast and cheap. At least it faster and cheaper than wire bank transfers.
2. It works in many countries insteed of some other payment systems (GW, etc).
3. It's safe for byers. It provide byer protection option. At least, it better than write cc number and cvc code at every online store I use.

So, I think PP is the best choice for byers.

I disagree a little bock:)

1. PP charge you for every transaction so its not cheaper than credit card
2. If you buy from trusted sites like esmokeguru, COV etc you dont need this protection. So if trusted sites have CC then you can still use paypal on untrusted sites

Paypal is good for buyers but a pain in the ... for sellers. I am sure that I won't have any problems with e-smokeguru that could not be resolved with a mail or a phone call - no need for pp here!
Its actually quite annoying to see how PP make market politics.

Thank you very much for your confidence in me Manni :)

Hello Friends,
Paypal was for me very good because it was simple.
But they dont want any transactions with e-cigarettes and parts of them, i know it sounds crazy and i think it is crazy!.
They behave to e-cigarettes sellers like crimininals :)
And this problem will get large dimensions worldwide because they now check all e-shops.
We have at this moment the payment option to transfer the amount with Banking, if you use e-banking the fees are very low about 1 Euro.
I hope in 3-4 days we have ready the payment option with credit cards and prepayd cards then we have solve all problems.
Thank you
Vassilis
