We do not retail CBD products such as CBD oil. We solely offer web marketing solutions to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Major Wellness Merchant and if you take a close peek, you will see that they sell a surprisingly extensive range of CBD items, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method.

I have spoken with a barrister from a Magic Circle law office in The city of london and they explained that what PayPal is undertaking is definitely not legal and discriminatory as it ought to be applying an uniform standard to all firms.

Meanwhile, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
