I'm not really sure why paypal is used by most anyway. Isn't it easier for sellers to just accept credit cards? Or are the paypal fees cheaper?

Its easier to use PayPal for small businesses - no set up fees, they have a shopping cart, etc.

But, the fees come out to costing alot more if you do enough business.

For USA and Australia we've had to resort to hand written packages and splitting the order into smaller parcels lol. So far they have gotten through to every time.... fingers crossed

Now I'm wondering if I'll receive my last order from heaven-gifts (china). Order tracking states handed over to customs . First time to order overseas so I'm not sure if this is normal...I suppose it could be. Has anyone been getting shipments from china lately?

i think the trick may be to order smaller packages. so far ive had 2 with a 3rd package almost here, come through no dramas from china to queensland (AUS). the packages we'rnt even open. it may cost a bit more in postage, but id rather pay 7 bucks post on a few 100 buck orders instead of losing a whole 1000 buck order..

I wish people here would stop telling everyone how to get their products into the US. This should be done only in PMs and not in the public forum; the FDA and many other governmental organizations browse this site daily (don't fool yourself into thinking they don't) and the last thing we as a community need to do is run our mouths in public about how we're getting products (for personal use OR resale) in.

It's just not a smart thing to do, in light of the situation.

Mine always say that, It'll clear within a day. Unless you ordered over 30kg worth of stuff to catch their eye.

Hmmmm. Do we know if the PayPal banning is country dependant? Being in the UK we are not breaking any law using PayPal and the Credit card companies are happy for us to trage ecigs.

Our PayPal account is still running... for now... hope they don't read this thread lol

Thanks! I should be ok then.

I've only been vaping for a couple of months, so I'm pretty new to everything.

I do know it's completely ridiculous for citizens of a "free" nation to have to worry that an agency that is supposed to be protecting us may actually ban a product that will surely save, or at least extend, so many lives...potentially millions!

There are so many things in this world that can kill us...I can't believe this has become such a priority especially when analogs, proven killers, are still very legal!!! (and they too should be legal in a free society)

Hmm...I wonder if it has anything to do with $$$$.

I hope your were being sarcastic with your last remark... Of course it has everything to do with money! Less about big tobacco like you might think and much, much more about big pharma and revenues from smoking cessation products.

I said I was new to vaping, not born yesterday lol...of course that was sarcasm .

I'm gonna check out your link to the ECA. Any other recomendations on how/where to get involved before it's too late? Thx.

What is order tracking?
I ordered from China but I don't know how to track it.

When you say you ordered from "China" who exactly did you order from? If it was from heaven-gifts (formerly Ruyan Direct), read your "Shipping Notification" email.

Please check the following instruction about how to track your package. If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us.

*Firstly, get the EMS tracking nubmer or registered airmail number.

1. Log in Heaven-gifts.com Best E-smoking Shop
2. Click My account
3. Click My order
4. Click 'View order' for order XXXXXXXXXXX.
5. In the "Order Information" section, find the shipping service in "Shipping Method".
6. In the "Shipping Information" section, find the waybill number in "Waybill".


*Secondly, decide where to track the package.

1, if the shipping service you paid is EMS express(7~10 business days):

Online tracking information is only available after the package is scanned by the post company. Considering the processing time before scanning, you can begin to track your shipping package at EMS about 2~3 days later.

Chinese EMS website sometimes doesn't provide detailed tracking information for the pacakge. You can also get the detailed information at the website of your local post office. Please find the website at :// EMS Cooperative

Paypal is easier to set up, but the fees are insane. ASH has taken credit for "exposing" e-cig sites to paypal and pushing for them to be shut down. The issue with some of the other gateway processors is that e-cig suppliers are such a small part of their customer base, that it's more prudent to just exclude us.

Bill Cosby made a similar comparison regarding parenting:

"Parents aren't interested in justice - they just want QUIET!"

I need to find an e-cig merchant, (preferably in Florida for speed), that is NOT being blocked from receiving payments via PayPal.

Anyone that has 510 attys and batteries that can get them in the mail to me Friday the 27th or Saturday 28th please contact me.

I have charger, passthru, a bit of juice left (wouldn't mind getting more juice), I just need the batteries and atomizers, or 3 or 4 complete 510 e-cigs.

I had almost quit analogs 100% when two of my attys died and I lost one. I am down to one atty that is barely working. I have spend 5 days on internet trying to find a supplier that can still get payment from PayPal, I am running out of time.

There is medical reason I need these a.s.ap. - surgery is being delayed till I have been off cigs for 4 weeks. You would be helping someone in a big way. Appreciation beyond Thanks would be in order for anyone that can help me get new 510's on way to Florida like now! (it then will be sent out of country via private courier).

onthecoast,

This thread is a couple of months old. You would probably get a better response if you started a new thread in the New Member's Forum.

Looks like you don't have enough posts to read the member classifieds section yet, but that's a great place to pick up a few attys, bats, etcetera.

Check Nhaler in the supplier's section. He's in NJ but I consistently get shipments in Ohio in 2-3 days.
