A Month later, PayPal has contacted use to say that our account has been limited and have asked us to remove PayPal as a payment solution from our vape shop web directory. We do not offer for sale CBD items such as CBD oil. We solely provide promotion and marketing professional services to CBD firms.

It seems that PayPal is administering twos sets of rules to different firms. Because of this restriction, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related web site. This has restricted my payment options and right now, I am intensely dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have spoken with a barrister from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they stated that what PayPal is doing is definitely unlawful and discriminatory as it should be applying a consistent criterion to all firms. I am yet to check with one more legal representative from a US law firm in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. In the meantime, I would be very appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with substitute payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.
