I was wondering why I hardly see vendors taking PayPal. I thought there was one in the vendors section though. Maybe they use a personal PayPal account for payments to their business?

Paypal USA will not accept transactions for e-cigarette related sales.

PayPal DOES take payment for companies who's primary business is registered from a different country.

PayPal will not allow transactions from personal accounts to personal accounts of they know the product, or the seller does business in e-cigs.

I KNOW these things as FACT. it is not a guess.

That answers why I get an international charge on my debit card when I do business with TW, who is in Florida, I use my debit instead of Pay Pal, so now I guess I best pay from Pay Pal. Is this right???? to save the international charges. Hope I am understanding what is happening.

A US PayPal account will NOT let you pay directly to them, you will have to use your credit card on Totally Wicked's paypal account, and be charged the fee. It is the same, even if you walk in to pick up your stuff. (I went through this the other day, and CALLED PayPal which is why I know the deal.

You will need to get yourself a Merchant account and Gateway and a Website.

Alertpay will close you down. Paypal will shut down your account and seize the funds in it if you try and go that route. Don't risk it. They will catch you..

The only way you can do it and do it right is to get a Merchant account.

Ask some of the ecig vendors how they like the ones they use first..
Some have contracts and some do not. Be careful when deciding..
There are things like chargebacks and other things to consider..

It isnt all profits.. Lol

any venders care to give me some places they use to process payments? looking for one but so many out there have hidden fees and such I would rather get some info from some people that are actually using them. THANKS!

I don't think we are supposed to say who we have . I think roly wants the merchant providers to post in first person . A PM to a supplier may be permissible :

Board Rules

1. Members or suppliers can post here.

2. The board is for services that assist the running of an ecigarette-related business in some way.

-->3. Only the person offering the service may post. No 3rd-party offers.<--
