eCigMods.com - PayPal up to their same old crap! Please Read

[Craig Patterson]

NOTICE: PayPal has screwed me. *** THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WONT GET A PRE-ORDERED PRODUCT*** After many times contacting them, they assured me that I was in compliance and they wouldn't give me any more problems. I woke yesterday to find that the account has been permanently disabled, with over $1000 in the account.

I am trying to get this resolved, but I have no access to anything in PayPal at the moment, including payments, addresses, etc.

If there are any Lawyers on ECF that can help me with this, please send me an email. Both times PayPal contacted me, I did everything that they told me I had to do... and it seems convenient that they waited till there was a lot of money in the account.

I am waiting to hear back from Michelle. She helped me last time.

I just don't understand. They reviewed my website 2x... after each incident and told me that I was in compliance. I have not added anything back that they asked me to remove.

So all the money is gone... and I don't know if we can survive this ordeal. We will still finish out the orders that have come in. unfortunately, the shipping money for the juiceboxes is gone... as is the preorder money for the new Vape360. All the work we have done in the last month for nothing. Every bit of our profit is gone, and now we have no money to continue to buy parts/supplies.

I have no access, at all, to any payments received/sent through PayPal. I can't go any further than the first page. I have email records of some payments, but not all of them. Do *not* email me with something saying... I have paid... make sure I get mine. You will get yours... and PLEASE don't spam the mailbox with that, or addresses or anything. I will post on the site if I need your information. I will most likely contact you via PM on ECF, or by email.

Please bare with me as I try to get this straightened out.

Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,

Most probably you will get your money and they will allow you to withdraw it.

We have had dealings with them in the past for other type items they said couldnt be sold on paypal.. Usually within 3 days they will allow you to withdraw.

They do not keep their word when they tell you that something is ok to sell then you get an email telling you your account is frozen..

It is best to have a merchant account but I know this hard when you are not dealing in a lot of money.

The other way to do it is to just take orders and use paypal and have the person not mention ecigs but since they got you it would be hard to go down that road unless you are not using a website and doing it all by email.

A merchant account would probably be best so you can take credit cards and not have to worry about PP at all..

Sorry. I know how it feels to be screwed by PP..

Hang in there.. You will get your money back.

Who do you use as a Merchant Account? Everywhere I've called says its high risk and they wont take it... and I was declined by a few that were recommended by ECF members.

If need be....i think we all have our pp account and transactions showing that the ones who have paid..indeed have.

Some people use google checkout, some use amazon that ive seen....dunno about the rest of them..

Hey Craig,

Sorry to hear about your PayPal troubles. Been hearing about the bad experiences that venders have been having with them more and more nowadays. I sure hope you can get it all straightened out before any further damage is done to your business!

One question...

Will you be able to continue to make and sell your mods? And if so, have you decided on any alternative payment methods? Are Postal money orders a possibility?

I'm just thinking out loud... I've been wanting to buy one of your juice box type mods and just as I am able to afford one... BOOM! PayPal hits ya!!!

Well, anyway GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!
