It might simply be that they don't own a card reader.

They used to take credit card/debit card payments so not sure what has changed. He is their link

Their debit and credit card processor appears to be ‘Stripe’. They’re saying both Stripe and PayPal (independently) have made sudden changes to their terms

Payment by cheque by UK customers only, I wonder if that means that outside of the UK you can use cards etc or whether it means only UK customers can currently make purchases. The site still states "Worldwide shipping to over 50 countries".

Cheers @Leni, not heard of STRIPES before. To be honest I'm not sure the process businesses use when someone pays using a credit debit card.i assumed it went direct via the card people and not thru a third party.
Life gets so complicated at times.

Cheers @andi52 , just been having a look at the thread.
I will refrain from commenting on the stupidity of it all. I hope I dont go into a rage and try and kill someone with my pipe or poison them with the piddly 2ml of 20mg nicotine that it could possible hold.

Yes, it's mind boggling, got to feel so sorry for the vendors, I wonder when the high street stores will be cheque or cash only, the whole thing is insane, more reading below:

I will be able to choose between my pipe or my laser pointer now, both of which appear to be able to cause severe life threatening damage.

Definitely mate. Honest people trying to make a living. I guess it will change down the line when the sales of ciggies and nic sprays and gum declines to the extent that those companies want to push ecigs as their only income. Then and only then will all the bollocks about the dangers will be reversed.
