Title: SUPPORT: PayPal beeing kicked by German shop Post by: harm on July 30, 2011, 11:59:56 AM Hey everybody,
there are news in Germany that might interest you concerning PayPal: A German shop for alcohol and cigarettes, also selling Cuban products like rum and cigars, has been requested by PayPal to NOT sell Cuban products in Germany anymore due to the USA-Cuba-embargo from 1962. The shop's reaction: they kicked PayPal ;) http://www.golem.de/1107/85243.html Now, EBay as PayPal's parent company, also closes EBay-Shops selling Cuban products. These 20 shops now intend to prepare an accusation against PayPal and EBay. http://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/webwelt/article13513283/Ebay-setzt-Kuba-Embargo-auch-in-Deutschland-durch.html This might be good news for bitcoins I think!! On the first shop's facebook site I have placed a recommendation to accept bitcoins: https://www.facebook.com/rumundco It is German, but you will find the linked bitcoin video;) Please vote or leave a comment. Wish us good luck to get this into press:) Title: Re: SUPPORT: PayPal beeing kicked by German shop Post by: hugolp on July 30, 2011, 01:06:54 PM Brilliant move!

Title: Re: SUPPORT: PayPal beeing kicked by German shop Post by: timmey on July 30, 2011, 07:39:17 PM So Ebay and PayPal are trying to enforce an US embargo from cold war days against Cuba in Europe? ...wtf?
I hope zee Germans win! Title: Re: SUPPORT: PayPal beeing kicked by German shop Post by: evoorhees on July 30, 2011, 09:06:27 PM make sure to mention bit-pay.com (http://bit-pay.com) , i think they would like it the most Great idea, but bit-pay.com will only work for them if they want BTC deposits. USD deposits are only for US companies for the time being.
