PayPal and Fast Tech Problem??

[katwb]

Am I the only one who is having a problem using PayPal with fast tech now?? I have placed several orders with them .... and tonight I went to purchase an atomizer and it's telling me I can't use PayPal - "PayPal unavailable due to" Rebuildable Atomizer"
Am I the only one??? Is this something new??

Without further details, I would surmise the word atomizer flagged up against PayPals Service policy. It's against there user agreement to buy or sell e-cigs.

That is... sad.

Maybe try signing out and signing back in. I just got finished using Paypal at Fasttech about 30 minutes ago and had no problem. So sorry you are. But thank you, it's usually me that has weird problems.

You know I'm just kidding. Good luck to you.

I had no problem either ordering tanks and clearomizers with Paypal from the US...but Paypal is stricter in some other countries..but since the OP is from Georgia, should have no problems....yep, clear cookies, reboot, sign in again and give it another try..

The official Paypal policy is "no electric cigarettes" but I've never seen a purchase denied by Paypal but have seen it denied by some credit card companies/banks because of that..and I have seen PayPal deny claims due to eCigs..

I figured out what it was!! Its justs the one atomizer - I took it out of my "cart" and added a different RTA and it showed PP again..... its the "mini RTA" that is doing it.

If you check this rta out:
https://www.fasttech.com/product/1941301

the triangle windows rta, which I believe was originally listed as 'squape reloaded'

scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see:

if the mini rta you are talking about is
$13.61 Mini RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (3.0ml) - acrylic + stainless steel / 20.5mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

that's an erlkogin(sp) clone.

lower down the page it says paypal is unavailable for this item:

Ok .... I see that - but why is it available on some and not on others?? I have bought 3 Kayfuns on 3 different orders - a couple of RDA's and I have used PP everytime - wonder why its on a few items and not all. I'm not complaining..... I'm glad it allows it on most - just caught me off guard and I was afraid PP had shut it completly down!

PayPal has different AUP's for each country it does business in. Also difference in laws.

I believe - and this is merely speculation on my part - it stems from the cloning/counterfieting issue;

note for example it seems to be happening with the relatively newer rta's and for example that "mini rta" you mentioned was probably listed as "Erlkogin" (excuse my spelling), and maybe a lawyer's cease and desist letter went somewhere, and Paypal won't accept orders on that sku as a result, and fasttech is going through their product listing trying to rename stuff so as not to get more lawyer letters.

Take this product for example:

$19.39 Stainless Steel Rebuildable Atomizer - 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It's called : "Stainless Steel Rebuildable Atomizer"
what kind of a name is that!! well, it's actually a clone of the GP Heron!! GP probably sent them a nice little lawyer letter.

That makes sense.... and if they "block" a few from PP .... they are "trying" to prevent us from using PP. It makes me nervous using my credit card internationally - but I'm giving it a shot as I really wont the mini! Has anyone tried it yet?? They aren't much to look at but they say they work very well

Any "Aspire" product is another item that is not allowed for purchase by Paypal...so Paypal must have a list of specific sku's they won't permit..so read the product information very closely and thoroughly before ordering..
