| 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. |

Not as convenient but an acceptable form of payment.
Keep the faith, you're good people. | |

| Yeah, Paypal got us too, here at VaporCig.com. We are having to use a credit card machine in office and have customers call or we call to get their info. Not the easiest way to do business, but it is working for now. | |

| My Name is Joshua,
I have been an e-cig user since '08 and have loved all the benefits it's created in a "non-smokers" society. Coincidentally I also work for a credit card processing company, Merchant Now Financial in Mesa, Az. I have been on several forums keeping up with the industry on the going ons with the FDA lawsuit only to find out that Paypal has been banning e-cig vendors. We took our first shot with E-Smokey Treats last year and we successful in approving Phil's account and have had him as a loyal customer for almost a year now. Since that time we have signed dozens more, some of you are probably reading this and know exactly who I am. For any and all seeking help to set up a merchant account, please feel welcome to contact me for all the details.

| No problem, just letting you know that a real solution exists to a growing problem. Should you run into any issues or would like to entertain better rates, we can have you processing within 48 hours.
Have a great night and a Happy Thanksgiving. | |

| Steampunk,
With all due respect this is an open thread and more than simply a spam post. Many people are having serious issues and several people still view these threads looking for answers to a major issue within this industry. We only want to help those who have had their businesses and livelihoods taken from them as a result of this issue. If you are not in need of any service I must ask that you respectfully refrain from posting any negative views of Painless Processing without just cause.
Have a happy, relaxing, and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. | |

There is a Supplier's Hype section reserved just for Commercial posting. I'd request you limit your activities there, and no one will take issue with you.
BTW, You have a happy Thanksgiving also.

| Steampunk,
I would just like to bring to your attention that both threads in which you have responded to us negatively, are both in Supplier Hype.
Furthermore, it's extremely beneficial for anyone who has an e-cigarette business to inquire in our services - worst case scenario we save them money from attaining lower processing rates.
As a matter of fact, if you have a legitimate e-cigarette business - I guarantee they can get you better rates and save you money on your processing. Let them put some money back in your pocket - that will change your perception.
VtVapor - We'll save you money too - I understand your set, but nobody, and I mean nobody, can do better than us. Call them - it's nothing more than a 5 minute conversation and you'll thank me for it. | |

| Is there a single existing supplier on this forum, just one that has been here, not signed up yesterday to shill, that is using this service? Just one.
Hey, if there is a satisfied customer, that's what we like to see. Whether it's provider services, e-cigs, juice, atty testing services, whatever, one of the comforting aspects of a forum is being among those with "experience". Without those "references", your credibility is "untested".

| Well, SMOKE 51 representatives don't post here often.
I believe they have, in addition to initial purchase, an auto-re-supply (is there a single word for this ?) function. Does your service handle that or does the seller have to resubmit billing each time?
I'm sure that the volume of transactions performed for SMOKE 51 would be a much larger task than some of the 'smaller' home business LLCs that frequent here (except for our overseas wholesalers).
Thank you for replying,
Rocket
To our forum member suppliers: Let us know if you decide to take advantage of the same "high-risk-merchant-account" Payment Processing Service that SMOKE 51 uses. I'm sure someone interested in starting an e-cig business would find it comforting to know that others are using the same service.
And many of us buyers would also like to know.

| Rocket,
First and formost, our company specializes in crafting the appropriate merchant solution for your business model. To answer you question, the continuity system (auto bill function), which is set up thru a special gateway/transaction processor, performs the recurring billing process automatically - cutting down on having to enter 1000's of transactions manually. We also provide processing through POS systems at kiosks or even a simple webpage shopping cart that does as little as 1000 dollars per month. It is our mission to provide assistance to e-cig companies (web or physical) no matter the size or business model. We specialize in catering to this industry with our knowledge and direct relationships with the few banks that will process credit cards for electronic cigarette companies. It is our firm belief in this product and industry which is why we are here to help. Regardless of your volume, whether a giant like Smoke 51, a kiosk, or only have a few sales on a webpage; we are here to educate bloggers on the processing side of e-cigs because even if they do not process through us, they most likely purchase from one of our existing clients which helps us and the industry either way. | |
