PayPal is going

[sc12]

You knew it would happen eventually. Good that you were prepared with a merchant account but yeppers...what a pain!

I got scared and backed way off when the system asked if I kissed my mother with that mouth after my first tries.

My mother taught me to swear! And her mother taught me better!

Yes, but your mother was Skynet (just going by your avi).

Sad to see difficulties to such a great asset to the vaping community. I too will remain a customer as long as you choose to make them.

Have you looked at square? If the paypal model was working square might be more appealing from a cost perspective.

 

[JimmyDB]

Yeah, it's bad that it will effect you negatively... even for a short time... but I wouldn't have wanted PayPal to get a cut of anything I send you anywho.

you didn't like damned?

I find poop to be a wonderful pejorative. Try this:

Paypal management is a bunch of poopy pants!




Ahhh....refreshing.

Not a big deal folks its going to be a pain for a week or so I am hoping it will make my life easier in the long run . The only part that is bothering me is not knowing . Thanks for all the support

Good luck Rob, and get someone good on it. Retooling a web site for a new CC server can be a royal, technical, PITA. When Ikenvape had to go through it they were out of commission for about two months, in part due to technical interfacing problems, in part due to hiring someone to do the job that then held them hostage once they started receiving money. During any transition I still have a checkbook and a crayon somewhere if that helps. Old skool - ya know?

What really puts a Twist (or a Reo) in my knickers is I just spent about a week (at least it felt like it) trying to even find the current PayPal AUP. It's here, and it hasn't been updated since 2011. => https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/acceptableuse-full

I dare anyone to find the words "electronic cigarette" in there, anything remotely close or related to e-cigs, or any correlation between tobacco products and e-cigarettes. Go ahead - not there. So while the AUP has been written in stone - at least it hasn't changed in nearly three years - PayPal's "compliance" department seems to have gone rogue, pulling AUP violations out of their own behind at whim.

They are not very good then Rick - i have ONLY used paypal for e-cig related purchases!

Oh jeez you with the goose again...

I finally got the dreaded notice on Tuesday morning PayPal doesn't want to be friends with me anymore . I was given the choice remove the atomizers and cartomizers or be shut down . I will be going with a standard merchant account . I have had the account ready for this day for many years but its still going to be a pain for me . I may take a week or two of no custom orders until I get use to the new system .

Why in the hell would PayPal care what you're selling? It's not like your selling making bomb making supplies. *face palm*

Many ecig vendors don't use that hypocritical BS company so no big deal. I'm surprised e-cig vendors don't have a class action suit against them. So dang easy to prove a kind of monopoly with them forcing the small guys out while allowing their sister company (eBay) continue to sell with out restrictions.

That's actually not a bad idea. Class action with any/all vendors affected

Paypal is dirty anyways, I dont have a credit card though, gunna have to apply for some this weekend... i havent ordered much offline, until i started vaping, now that my im set up (with paypal :/) i have bought all kind of random neat stuff. I wish I would take the time to learn more about bit coins.....especially a couple years ago when the getting was good, maybe it's time.

If you want to continue to use PayPal, just get a PayPal debit card. It's a Master Card but it comes right out of your PayPal account. I use it for all vaping related sites that take Master Card. Just bought more Nic with it the other day. I got one because the dark side doesn't see what I purchase or how much I pay and I can purchase from the PayPal restricted sites. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Personally I would change the wording. They aren't atties or cartos. They're battery powered atmosphere conditioners.

How about calling them Battery powered personal breath freshners.

Square doesn't allow "e-cig" products either. Can't remember what company I heard this about but after their site was all designed and opened for biz Square shut them down when they saw it was Vape related.

Rob - You will be better off in the end. I will bet your fees will decrease.
