When buying online and using PP

03-18-2010, 02:46 PM

Don't EVER put cigars anywhere in the message area when using PP! My account is frozen for 3 days because I violated the terms of use policy. It's a simple mistake, but please don't do this to another member. I was on the phone with PP for 30 minutes trying to get this cleared up. Apparently, this isn't the first time someone has done this to me and this time I got burned for 3 days.

Ouch. PP really banged me over a few days ago with a dispute.. Over 100 bucks.

03-18-2010, 02:49 PM

Sorry to hear.

I haven't ever used PP.

03-18-2010, 02:49 PM

We could have told you that.

I didn't do it, another member bought a sampler from me and I forgot to mention the "don't mention cigars when paying"

Big Brother is everywhere!

It is kind of amazing that this is against their terms of service yet every big dealer I deal with uses it.

So how does Famous get around this with PP since they accept PP as a form of payment?

Famous, JR and CI all take PP.

I guess they must sell a lot of swiss chocolates and humidors.

Famous has a separate agreement with PP, I believe the site verification of DoB is satisfactory for PP. I think there are a few other online retailers who have met this criteria to PP's satisfaction.

They're a big ass company selling Millions of dollars of product....
PPal shits on the little guy, but trust me they want they're 1.5%!

Which is exactly why they cant risk the wrath of the state's Attorney's General for selling tobacco to someone underage.

Yeah they suck.

PPal is by far the worst online payment source. I prefer using Google Checkout, as they don't care about anything and they are quite speedy. However, next time, do not say you are buying cigars. It is common sense, but everyone makes mistakes.

shilala · 03-19-2010, 12:11 PM

I'm very careful to let anyone know not to mention cigars or anything about tobacco if it's not someone I know who already knows better.
It's better to be safe than sorry. Not once has one of the brothers ever so much made a mention of anything remotely related to tobacco.

The first transaction I made here on CA, I had to inquire about "decrete PP" because I didn't know that either. I'm glad I asked because I probably would have done the same thing.
