Quick check on Amazon's site shows:
tobacco Products - includes cigars, cigarettes, and other tobacco products.
(source: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sd...User-Agreement-Policies/Acceptable-Use-Policy)
No mention of e-cigs.
I would think it would be fine because I see all types of e-cig cases, rolling papers, tobacco flavorings and even herbal leaves, meant to be smoked, brewed, used as incense, etc. At least one of the damiana leaf items was even fulfilled by Amazon and eligible for Prime delivery!
Quick question by Eric to Amazon should be easy.

GoodDog, On the EMDCC's I just boil them in water for about 10 minutes-blow them out and lay them on there side in front of a fan for a few days to dry and back to new condition..

I , too use Google checkout whenever possible-very easy- never had any problems with them at all,
I don't have any problems with storing my CC info Eric but (no offense) as much as you stress over your stuff, have you ever considered Google Checkout? I use a number of online sites that have it.
You basically have a portal on your site at the check out. When the user submits their order, it redirects to Googles site where THEY have to deal with security and such. It relieves you of that burden. A user can store many different cards or just one as they choose. Once Google Checkout verifies the purchase, it redirects back to your site.
Also, with Google Checkout, you have the same CC info stored in one place and any vendor or site that uses it means you don't have to enter the same info over and over again. Not sure of their fee structure but just an idea.
good news... after talking with PayPal I had my account restored. My money is now back in my hands.
I can't (and won't) take ecig related payments but at least I didn't lose what was there. It was tough as I sound horrendous and they had trouble understanding me but they were VERY nice and understanding. One person called me and stayed on the phone while I removed a reference to them I didn't know I had on the website, once it was removed, she lifted the hold in two minutes.
My opinion of PayPal is now somewhat restored.
WePay has been FANTASTIC, they have contacted me several times to ask questions, assure me they are ok with ecig and generally wish me well. If anyone ever needs to accept payments let me know, I'll give you a referral link You get 10 dollars free that way.
They are not the solution, just a temporary bridge until I get full CC going.
I am going to have to redo the website, I use a special cart that doesn't have any option that isn't online integrated with providers who don't accept ecig vendors...I think if I tried to sign up with an online processor I would just get shut down and this whole thing would start over again. So I believe I am going the local bank / POS terminal route, which means I will accept CC's on my website and then enter the details manually here. This way, I can't get into any trouble.
So next up is re-coding the website and getting some SSL going for secure payments.
Also I have an Amazon Payments account already but the cart is not setup for it, so I will put that as an option when the new website is up. In fact, I'll have three, WePay, Amazon and CC on site. You choose.
I'll post more info later, gotta go back to bed

All good news Eric, except you're still ill. Get to bed, get rest, and get well. We want our favorite vendor at 100%!
I got my new skins on my batteries and looks good.. It was easier than I thought it was going to be, not hard at all..
Hope Eric is getting some much needed rest today..

Yeah, I was surprised by how easy they are to put on and look good. I hope the cone skins are available soon.
I'm so glad you got your money back from PayPal, Eric. When you first started I warned you about them and what they did to other vendors. Please don't trust that they won't do it again and try to find other ways to pay your Chinese vendors. Just because it was reinstated by one person doesn't mean another one bent on stopping the sales of e-cigs won't come back and put a stop on your account. It has happened here at least a few times.
Vendors need to band together and help each other instead of it being a dog eat dog industry like it is now. There's enough money to go around and the ones with the best business models will prosper.
I sure hope you're feeling better and can come out and play with us soon.
Just saw Eric's notice on his site and it made me sooo angry !!!
This whole "e-cig" banning thing is totally ridiculous.
At a time when the economy is so bad/no jobs and they shut down a good dealer ?
My Hog mod is in no way at all a smoking, fire burning tobacco cigarette !!!!!
Ego's/Go-go's and various different mods are NOT cigarettes !
Pg-vg- candy flavoring -a tiny or NO nicotine are horrible and need to be banned ??
What in the @!*&! is a potatoe/tomatoe/eggplant have to do with a cigarette ??
Nicotine only, so the powers that be should not allow stores to sell them either.
Come on-this is just so ridiculous.

sorry, everyone for the rant-- sometimes this whole "nanny" thing is just too much.
It's very ridiculous, I agree. I had read somewhere that the FDA had sent warning letters to paypal way back when they were seizing shipments (before the ruling they could not regulate e-cigs as drug delivery devices). It seems like now that that's over, paypal could revise their ban, but if they did get *scary* warnings from the FDA they will probably not be willing to go that route and figure better safe than sorry. It sucks and makes no sense though.
To a non-smoker this is not ridiculous.. Maybe they should not call them e-cigarettes ya think? or anything cigarette..
Eric does not sell tobacco or cigarettes.
He sells PARTS-plastic or steel etc. same as car parts and cars kill people but cars are not banned-for example.
I vape, I do not smoke-there is nothing burning and no tobacco so it is not a cig or e-cig or whatever name the nannies want to call it. I call them pv's or personal vaporizers. Because that is what they are.
But then again, I did smoke real cigarettes for 49 years, am 70 years old and have not been to a doctor for well over 30 years.
Only quit because got so sick of the "evil smoking person" label.

So does hot coffee or normal breathing, on a cold day-LOL !!
Or those little gremlins under the floors at a concert-(jk).
Just feel so bad about what happened to Eric and my red had temper got the best of me above.

Yes it is all about perception...to many folks perception is reality...
Have a nice day..

Simple and perfect! Thanks for the great tip.
I was able to get a GoGo drip tip on but it's pretty snug. It looks and feel so much better than the big nipple.
