I really don't know what is going on with PayPal. I do know that yesterday I placed an order with LiteCigs and today I placed an order with Janty....all through Paypal with absolutely no problem.
People keep saying things like this and I don't understand why the concept is so hard to figure out...

The reason you can order through any particular supplier with "no problem" is because PayPal just hasn't gotten to that particular supplier yet. They have no way to "blanket ban" all ecig suppliers at once. They have to check into each supplier suspected of selling the products they are targeting and then manually shut that supplier down. This will be a drawn out process, one or two a day, until they get them all which I am sure is agonizing for suppliers who currently only take payments through PayPal.

So, you may very well be able to order from a supplier with "no problems" right now then you could check their website in an hour and find a notice that their ability to accept PayPal payments had been shut down (like is now showing on several supplier's sites)... it happens that fast.

SHARON...I am soo jealous! You are such a wise woman! I have about 70 toal, split up between my 901, 510 and my backup 4081--1st pv I purchased.

And if a ban never occurs (yaahoo) we have plenty supplies to vape with for a long time.

Sorry I made you count, but don't you feel good knowing what you have!

You're a sweetie, yes, I'm glad I've gotten all of those. I have 26 for the RN4081 and the rest are all 901's. When we started seeing potential problems I decided to concentrate on one particular atomizer and it became the 901. I've got two Screwdrivers and two Prodigys that both take the 901 so I should be good to go for quite a while. I also have the AdapteR and the Copper. The Copper takes the RN4081 and two batteries so it's a pretty good vape for the RN4081.

I've also got the Iolite. I guess I wanted to be sure I never go back to analogs!!

My husband has lung cancer and still has refused to quit analogs. Addiction is a strange beast. He didn't want me to quit because I've always been his smoking buddy. Yet he felt so selfish feeling that way. When I found e-cigs he was so grateful and even though he still won't quit, he's very supportive and is so grateful I've got these.

The e-cigs truly are a God-sent for me.

Sounds like you guys are ready!

I just went and looked for cig sites and was surprised to find there are some still operating. I guess that is why they want to ban the shipping of them. Maybe we can out fox them for a little while too.

Yes Kevin, there are still some operating, not sure how many. I know the site we ordered from is.

By the way, I LOVE your avatar!

Well, in the two years I have been posting here, there have been many instances of the sky is falling....and then it is not. Perhaps PayPal is moving in this direction. Perhaps the companies who can no longer use them have other issues with PayPal that we don't know about. Anyway, we will find out soon enough. Until then, there are still places that you can easily order using PayPal, including LiteCigs and Janty.

The last time I really looked for cig sites was a couple of years ago. I've been doing RYO for the last 2 years or so. Hopefully I wont have to return to that. It looks like the 2 cig sites I visited are having to do some creative eCommerce to keep operating. I guess we will have to do the same.

Thanks for the avatar compliment. That was taken in my back yard. My wife is a 5 year breast cancer survivor. The Monarch and the pink ribbon are for her. I guess I should have made the ribbon a little bigger though.

I'm sorry Angela, I didn't mean to ignore you. I was referring to analog cigs. I was surprised to see some of them still trying to do business. Last I saw most merchant banks for Visa and Mastercard were unavailable for cigarette sites.

i made an order on innovapor on 8/5 without a problem...is there a way for suppliers to list your receipt as something else, like teddy bears? or does that break PP's terms of service?

It would probably be a combination of product name, referring site of the transaction and domain name for referring site. They probably review these manually.
