PayPal Strikes Down Vermont Vapor

[popsec]

Well, we got our notice today that PayPal had frozen our acct for selling e-cigs. Until we can get a merchant account, money orders will be the only acceptable form of payment.

Ok this just sucks! I am not a consumer of VV but seriously - what the heck is this crap?!

"I have an idea.. let's freeze the accounts of all the US companies that sell e-cigs, and then maybe all the PC groups will love us!!" wtf?!

I just don't get it.

 

[SantanzChild]

Thankfully I got my order in before this happened. Hope you find a new way to process payments soon.

 

[AVITWeb]

CRAP!!!! I wanted to try some more stuff!!! Please keep us all informed!

 

[Briar]

PayPal is *so* full of it! Bloody ignorant idiots lacking any semblance of common decency or common sense. This just makes me screaming mad. Right along with the healthcare fiasco. Grrrrrrrrr.

Well, I was set to place an order tomorrow to try some of your liquid. I guess I'll be getting a money order and mailing it to you, but I sure wish there was an easier and faster way. I assume you have directions on your web site giving the address and how to proceed.

I think we need to get as many people as we can to boycott paypal long term. I know they will not even notice, but it gives me satisfaction to know that we would at least be making them lose some money by denying them our sales.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

We're in the process of setting up a merchant account now so we're hoping we'll only be in limbo a couple days. Will keep you all posted

Well thats just unfortunate right there. Thankfully my order got in under the wire too, but how does that help me next week or next month? You know how hard it is to find affordable VG juices? UGH!.
I'll tell you how hard: If im happy with the juices/sampler I ordered, I'll probably do the money order thing, cause PG is a little brutal on my throat and has some other unfortunate side-effects (on me). I'm in the unlucky 10-15% who dont tolerate it *well* but im choking it down, and will continue to do so till my VG gets here.

Please get a merchant acct/on site secure CC billing in as soon as its feasable. Some of us actually need an alternative to PG, even if we wish we didnt. Godspeed and the best of luck.

Any updates? Time frame for alternative payment method?

Any updates? Time frame for alternative payment method?

According to an email I received from my son a couple hours ago....

"Received word about 10 minutes ago that we should be up and running
later this evening. How much later depends on how long it takes to
work out the kinks between our shopping cart system and the credit
card processor. But rest assured, by tomorrow morning, come hell or
high water, the shop will be back online - even if it kills me. Which
I hope it doesn't. Then who would make the liquid..."

I just placed and completed an order on your site using my credit card and all went smoothly, or at least it appeared to do so. Tell your son that I appreciate his efforts. Thanks.

Yup I got the same email and confirmed it earlier. They are back.

Whew!.......looks like we're on our way now........still a few glitches but hopefully those will be ironed out as the day wears on.

And another one falls. It is a shame. Paypal can be so convenient. What a lousy policy.

can you let me know who you got your merchant account through. I have a online retailer personal friend who is looking to get started. He knows PayPal will nopt allow it...

he did find ecigpayments.com and got an account approved in 24 hours... but he is interested in having more than one account in case the first decides to follow the paypal road...
