Pay Pal BAH HUMBUG

[bjannr]

I just received notification that my payments will be held. What the H***?
I am planning to post some items in the ECF classifieds within the next few weeks. I guess I will be like lawnman, and take payment in the form of PO Money Orders. I am finished with Pay Pal.

Yeah, they shut down my account for apparently no reason. PayPal sucks. Not sure if it would help but Google has the Google checkout thing.

The threatened to hold any gifted payments for 3 weeks on my account. I just add on the fees to cover them when selling something. It stinks but majority of people use paypal. There is dwolla and wepay but not sure what you have to do to set it up.

PayPal has been doing that ALOT, lately. If you search the Internet a bit, you'll come up with hundreds--if not thousands--of complaints of held payments, and people are abandoning ship.

PayPal has also established the policy of cancelling the personal and merchant accounts of anyone who is dealing in anything to do with vaping.

Dwolla is an eCig-friendly payment proxy. I've already signed-up with them because several vaping vendors have said that they prefer payments through them. It's worth looking into, at least.

Google checkout also does not allow e-cigs.

Thanks guys, I am going to check out Dwolla.

I have read good things about moneybrokers also.

I got the same notification. So be it. Sure it sucks, but you will get your funds eventually. Nothing I can do about it so I will just leave it be I guess.

 

[bjannr]

Well I checked out Dwolla. Their fees are very low. However the register page never fully loads for me. Can't use it if I can't register.

Wow, what's with all the e-cig hate? They're still legal as far as I know. Idiots.
