I just got off the phone to PayPal when asking about adding an extra service to my account and was told by the person on the phone (not word for word, but close)
"You may know that there has been a recent change in ecigarette legislation that may affect your use of a virtual terminal and paypal account. The laws have changed about ecigs and products which would then fall outside of PayPal's terms and conditions for these particular services. Not that I am saying you would be refused but the new legislation will mean that businesses like yours may not be able to use PayPal for your transactions"
So, this new legislation that has recently been brought in - they know something we don't it seems.
As per usual, there is the mumbo jumbo filtered down to these companies without any basis, I asked her which law as I am quite active in the industry and aware of all changes made so far, none of which as yet have made a difference to current legislation that would affect a business like this. I was just told that they have been informed that laws have changed and that it is affecting accounts.
What utter guff - as usual.
