Is this quote true?
"recent void created by PayPal and Credit Card merchants that have banned the use of their payment gateways for the sale of nicotine liquid and electronic cigarettes"
100% true
they did it to me and then so did the Credit card merchants, also you can just Google Paypal bans the sale of electronic cigarettes and see all the others that have been banned, and they continue to ban everyone they can find selling e-cigs.
I have copied a email i got from Paypal for you to see below, PayPal has different ruling per country and yes many shops do use PayPal that yet haven't been banned but it's always just a matter of time before they do. Do a Google search for Paypal bans the sale of electronic cigarettes and see what you get.
