Paypal and ebay

[zanedog]

Is there an official answer from these conglomerations as to why they don't participate in selling something that saves lives?

Paypal shuts down shops that sell ecigs? LOL, thats almost funny unless you are a shop that booked into paypal... anyways, paypal charges WAY too much money, had businees, and they charge 5 percent...

Best paypal goes away anyways. I say, if you are a vaper and have a choice, never ever use ebay or paypal!

Join the revolution!

I use PayPal all the time, for various things.

eBay I stay clear of.

Paypal + Ebay = My best friend.

You're allowed to sell/buy them on there I guess Ebay is strict on how it's worded though. As long as its presented as a 'smoking cessation device' they usually leave it alone.

I just bought a mech,rda, wire, batteries/charger, and an ohm checker off eBay about 2 hours ago and I think I got a pretty good deal...is there a chance i won't get my items or something? I DID pay through paypal, and it all went through

O.K. so they have terms and conditons? This is the shortened terms for sure, but can you dig up their whole speil?

"PayPal generally prohibits transactions for all types of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco due to legal requirements and industry regulations for online tobacco sales."
Any merchant selling these products and offering PP is either doing so without PP's knowledge or with written permission. That permission can be revoked by PP at any time, for any reason, without explanation, and without recourse by the merchant."

What I could find, hence why most sellers label their gear as smoking cessations and not actual smoking devices.

thanks for digging that up for us.

Paypal has sent cease and desist orders to pretty much every vape shop in canada.

Anyways, it doesn't much matter as paypal is more expensive for vendors.

Lond live mail order lol..

thanks again for clearing that up!

I only use Paypal for my ECF membership.
They don't use credit cards.

I use Paypal to receive payments for products and services. Their charge is and has been 2.3% to 2.5% and $0.30 per transaction. I am unclear where 5% comes in. I also use a Paypal debit card for online vaping goods and have never had an issue.
