Open message to all vendors

PayPal is a real pain in the rear and if you ONLY take PayPal then there are a lot of customers your going to miss out on. If you add a credit card service that isn't PayPal related the. I would jump on your stuff. But PayPal has some issues and they don't understand that at my address is a house and they won't take my cards because my house "doesn't" exist.

I was under the impression no ecig related vendors could use Paypal in the first place since Paypal has a ban on it.

There may be a couple out there, but this is pretty much true.

More than likely they will eventually get their accounts banned along with the people purchasing products from them.

Are you in the UK? Why would you want to buy anything from here, it's so much cheaper in the States.
I was getting upset with the States 'cause they won't take PayPal, just couldn't understand it!

Geeze, most of the complaints have been that most vendors don't use PayPal...

Problem is, most merchant service companies won't allow it on vendor websites, as the products aren't regulated yet, or are at least in a grey area. Contact any financial institution (paypal included) and they will give you a list of products that they won't go near when it comes to merchant services, including tobacco, weapons, drug paraphernalia, etc. Trust me, every vendor would love to accept credit cards - it's completely out of their control.

The companies he is talking about are not US based, and as of right now it is only US companies that can not accept paypal.

Why buy from them? That is simple they are the only place to get things like Mark Bugs rebuildables. While I do mainly use US vendors there are just somethings worth going to an overseas store for.

Don't forget about us Canadians - most vendors can't accept it here either, with a few very sneaky exceptions.

thank you I was not aware Canada was in the same boat, I do know most countries can accept it which is why we can use it with UK and chain based.

Its been this way since the beginning of e-cig time, the UK and Europe are a different ball game with PP then the USA, I have a Visa with PP and its no problem, There are also vendors who have a home base in Europe but do business in the USA and those are fine, but USA vendors have to play buy different rules so most wont bother using PP but only a very few and that's even using the back door with PayPal if they even will let you use them. Most everyone in the USA uses there credit card for online purchase's simply because they know about PP and how they work, and many even have a separate credit card set up just for online purchases like myself. However all USA e-cig vendors are fully aware of Paypal and how they work and how there against doing business with e-cig vendors so Vendors wont even bother with Paypal any longer for the most part. However PP is great for the classifieds and buying from people that's where it comes in handy.
