Yes - I think there's at least 2 other threads on here from a couple of days ago (when it was announced)

EDIT: Sorry - I've just re-read my post... didn't mean it to come across as so 'abrupt'

somebody stop the vape hate. haha that rhymed.
how about this
stop hating on my vaping.
sounds like a good bumper sticker.
or maybe
yes is vape. dont hate.
or
im vaping if you dont like it f*** you.
ha that one didnt rhyme.

ever just feel like being a bit tardy? well i just did. and so i did.
*sticks tounge out*

but in all seriousness its prolly not eBays fault. im sure they were under pressure from local authorites in those domain areas. why else would they hurt themselves? they make money off of anything anyone sales on ebay. so its safe to say that if they did this just cuz they haten then they would be self mutilating.

ha more rhying

As of this moment, there are 1,739 matches for "nicotine" on ebay. Patches, gum and lozenges are still okay to be sold on ebay.

Hey kiddies, come get your cherry and freshfruit gum - the FDA and Logic-free Kids don't mind if you have that.

Everyone knows that flavors are for children. Adults only like things that taste like bark and dirt.

 

[MaSuAnime]

yum, bark and dirt!

I thought this is old news. Ebay has never allowed sales of cigarettes on its US site, and this was just extending the policy to its international sites to be consistent with corporate guidelines. Has nothing to do with anything going on politically/regulatory with e-cigs. They just decided a long time ago that e-cigarettes, by their definition, was an extension of tobacco cigarettes. Are they? No, but it's their right as a company to decide not to allow that type of product to be sold.

A point WELL noticed ~ ebay has had a LOT of feedback (mine, too)about this double standard snaffoo. When I got my NPRO in March, it was one of the last sold from US suppliers. So they left the PV's on from anywhere else in the world (nobody wanted to complain about that). But I did notice that without US competition, prices went up considerably. No reason for the BS, so look forward to them doing nothing.
I was disappointed though that they did not allow the devices at least as long as no one sold JUICE with them, but that didn't happen either. They sell all kinds of pipes, however????

No it didn't, but you already knew that ;o) Still very be poetic, though.

...haten then they would be self mutilating.

Negative, sorry no rhyme here either....

As they say... Don't quit your day job...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The word "Rhyme" can be used in a specific and a general sense. In the specific sense, two words rhyme if their final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical; two lines of poetry rhyme if their final strong positions are filled with rhyming words. A rhyme in the strict sense is also called a perfect rhyme. Examples are sight and flight, deign and gain, madness and sadness.

*sticks tounge out*

Apparently, I do, wait, what??.. Well I was a little tardy to work today and I suppose I might be being a little turdy with this post, but although I understand what you meant I don't think, wait, I know turdy is not an actual word either.

Only having some fun with you "DyZiE", yes I am being "turdy".
*tongue back at ya*

 

[redjazzy1]

sounds like someone needs a cigarette... pick that apart

 

[Evilfezdog]

no joking need to be smoking

 

[Glock]

^^^See now that rymes, LOL

Wow, I must have been in a weird mood, I was only joking around...

Sorry Dyzie was not trying to pick on you (even though it might look that way). I was totally joking around with you, but maybe not all that funny anyways.

My sincere apologies if I did offend you... You seem like a good person and that was only meant as a friendly poke (funny how I ASSume everyone is a friend around here or longtime 'buddy' and sometimes buddies harass each other as only friends could/should do, that was all)...

It just seems rather odd to me that you can buy a crack pipe on e-bay, but you can't buy an e-cig.

Makes perfect sense to me!!!.........................NOT!!!

This didn't seem like a big deal to me at first, but it really can be - eBay owns Paypal, and I always use Paypal for my online shopping.. if they extend the ban to Paypal I will be seriously disappointed.

It's amazing how much opposition there is for a technology that's probably going to save my life.
