paypal sucks asz. Once as an ebay vendor, I got paid for a laptop I sold, and they froze my account of about 2 grand for over a month. I was literally sick to my stomach the whole time.

Now they start bowing to some political pressure and freezing accts of you vendors. This is most uncool.

I'm glad you've foreseen this eventuality and takens steps to bypass them!

This really SUCKS Rob, so sorry to hear it, :( but PayPal DOES SUCK :mad:
It is only a matter of time before every supplier is Banned :mad:
If I did not buy so much on Ebay I would quit using them, but that is about the only way to pay for stuff on Ebay. You are still one of the best, always fair pricing and Prompt shipping, I will always be a customer, even if I have to mail a check.

Paypal just limited my account on Saturday, just in time so I can't get my FTP password for the weekend to remove their crappy logo from my site so I could get MY MONEY (my IT support team doesn't work on the weekend).

As a result of them giving me no notice, and the fact that they were inconsiderate and unprofessional, I sent them an equally unprofessional and inconsiderate email, coupled with a few choice words. I would suggest banning any and all use of their service to anyone who uses e-cigs, as I will be doing the same.

Thanks fellow Vaporites.

I also purchase things from ebay, and I also have a personal PP acct for that.


PP is so sucking right now. But If the PV's are approved, better watch out for PP to be spamming. They will have so many people working to get back all the suppliers back to using PP for payment.

funny,

Rob

order 1670-just left sorting and everything looks clear no paypal emails.
Thanks!!

The bad thing is I don't have checks and getting MO and stamps and all that is hard for me with my busy sched.

But the thing I feel more so is for you Rob...this is your business and a set back....so If I have to sneak out at lunch to get MO to support I will....good luck!! its just a small set back.

my paypal went through the other night. Had it direct draw from my checking and no cancellation notice here from paypal.

If it comes back to me, I'll mail you check rob. Hoping I like your juices so I can order more.

Can you do check by phone? That may speed up things for you until you find another payment option.

paypal sux.

Same here Rob, just got home and read this stupid ****. Paypal is ridiculous. But yeah, did not receive any emails from Paypal, but if I do, I will definitely send you a check for what you already sent out. You are one of the good guys and hopefully this does not slow down your business in any way. We all appreciate what you do and the deals you are able to provide us with!

One other idea I had... I wonder if there is a way to say, rename the items in a way that Paypal would not be flagged (i.e. calling the e-cigarette something else? Not sure this would work but just an idea for those who are still using Paypal...

I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but I do wonder if some other supplier was ...... and turned you in because of all of the great deals you are giving out and they were trying to shut you down...

I already had all my items as PV's

About 5-10 other suppliers here on the forum alone have been hit this morning.

We are still speculating on who had payapl do this, and yes another supplier is still in the air, it could very well be a hate group such as ASHhole. No one knows for sure.

Thanks it means alot to hear that.

Will send money direct from bank account work or will they hold the money from you? (Order 1686)


I am no longer able to use pp for any typr of transacttion to do with sales of PV's or liquid. That might change with PP, but prob not.

I will be accepting CC's shortly.
For the time being, MO and checks are all I can do at the time.

Thanks,

Rob

Mine was #1680. Went through the bank and no notices from PP.

Check by phone is used commonly be collection agencies - it used to be very common before everyone with a checking acct had a debit card. The buyer just gives you the numbers on the bottom of the check and the actual check number. Check with your bank in the morning - it may be easy to set up and would hold you over til you get CC processing up and running.
