Well after a day knowing about this issue Im over being upset. I'll still use PayPal for other stuff when it's convenient. After all when it came to money passing in or out from me to other vaping friends here Im not ashamed to admit I made transactions that circumvented their fees. Im not worried about being booted out of the PayPal universe since their actions like this is slowly limiting my usage of their services anyway.

Am I missing something? If PayPal is history then we just use our credit cards through the new merchant account that Rob has set up?

No your got it right.:) PayPal had some advantages but nothing that another merchant account can't match. One aspect comes to mind is shipping is nice to just basically click to purchase without entering addresses etc. for the buyer and spitting out shipping labels for the merchant but Im sure other services can handle that too.

BUMMER!!!! PP irks me with their wishy washy rules. I see a TON of vape stuff on Ebay and probably 90% of the buyers use PayPal...not cool
What PP is doing, is targeting suppliers across the board. I have made some Ebay orders and have been royally screwed because of PP when they shut someone down. I am so happy to see that Rob got the letter, and the opportunity to switch. In a lot of cases paypal just shuts it all down and if you payed, but havent recieved merch you are out the money, or vice versa if the seller hasnt been paid, but they shipped the merch they are screwed.

What a crook why should PP care what we the consumer spends our money on? Just goes to show how much freedom we have left.
Everybody and his dog is enforcing there will on us :( Our counties were a much better place to live in the 60's & 70's
You know what irks me the absolute most, and Im not sure if its changed as I don't buy them, but you can still buy tobacco and tobacco merchandise with paypal, Vuse, Marbs attempt at an ecig, can be directly purchased through paypal.

PayPal has always worked for me . I have never had a problem with there services . Change can be tough nothing I am not use to if it was easy everyone would be doing it . I have always known this could happen I will deal with it and move on .

Please no fear mungers if you buy a product from me you will get it . If they shut me down today I will still make sure everyone gets what they ordered .
