Elon Musk has nothing to do with paypal. He may still own a few shares, but he's not any longer in charge since ebay took over a few years ago.

And actually ebay may no longer own paypal, either. It's unclear to me. Ebay might own the company that owns Paypal now?
For ft, once they get a CC processor, looks like I'll use the Kiwi browser for orders.
I use a Cap 1 Visa, and do almost everything on my phone. Android Kiwi supports Google plugins, so I can use the Cap 1 Eno plugin to generate a pseudo card # only valid for ft orders.
(Cap 1 is excellent for fraud monitoring, but using pseudo numbers is great so you don't have to get a new real card if a fake # is stolen.)

I wish my credit card had that ability to generate temporary card #s. It used to be common 10+ years ago but most credit card companies did away with it for some reason.
I have discover and they're really good with fraud detection. But they did away with the temp card # generation thingy lone ago, too.
That's new then. Last time I bought one the smallest was $50. They have anticipated the need.
I changed the title of this thread to make it clear, while i still can. Paypal has been suspended for the direct purchase of vape products, even wires.
You can still buy non-vape products and gift certs with paypal.
Once you buy your gift cert, you can buy whatever you want with it. Paypal provided the ability to buy the gift cert, not the vape gear. Legally, that's not a problem since FT is a "department store". But for places like heaven gifts and other dedicated vape sellers, it's a problem (or it's going to be, whichever is the case).
Sorry, I didn't realize.
But having said that, I'm still seeing Paypal and Credit/Debit cards as forms of payment.
Could it be just certain items?
The item I'm looking to purchase is an RTA tank
With some research and learning some gear bought from FT or other sites can be had for free or nearly free using crypto even after fee's and capital gains tax.
Crypto swings pretty wild up and down.
I bought some last December and been holding on to it and now it's doubled in value. Also, I use Brave browser and get basically free crypto for dismissing ads after a small notification window comes up.
Just some info to keep in mind moving forward.

It seems to be variable. I couldn't order an sxk haku riviera RDTA by PP, but I could order an Ares 2 RTA.
Net, it looks like they are being forced to clamp down on US vaping sales by PayPal, though definitely haven't toggled the status of all applicable items.

Last night i found more and more items which weren't payable via paypal or CC, almost feels like they still are checking their whole stock to mark all the vape-items.
It's not just to clamp down the vaping sales on the US, i checked paypal's germanys terms of service last night, and they really say that shops accepting payments for cigarettes, e-cigarettes and some other things have to be authorized by paypal, not sure since when it's already like this.

Just got an email from PP, evidently crypto pp is coming soon.
I just ordered a few "filters" from FT using Paypal. So far so good.
My best guess tells me there is going to be a work-around with FT that doesn't involve gift certificates or crypto-currency.
I can't see an outfit like FT quietly willing to lose a ton of money.

It's been in PayPal's rulebook for quite a while I'm surprised that it took this long. Just like on the forums when you buy sell and trade I always find it strange the people worried about friends and family because you actually don't have a guarantee of any recourse when you're dealing with items that you're not allowed to buy with that currency. Of course in that scenario the person selling it would have to divulge that it was an e-cigarette product in which case they can potentially get their account terminated so I guess there was a little bit of protection... you can still use PayPal to buy a gift certificate and the gift certificate can purchase the items so there is a workaround until PayPal decides you can no longer buy gift certificates but I don't see that happening
How does this free cryptocurrency for ads thing work or basically free? I don't really understand cryptocurrency so if it's too complex then disregard because I won't understand what it means LOL but I've always been curious about it especially once retailer started accepting certain kinds of it
yes but fasttech needs to hurry up and add a function that allows us to choose our own denomination. I aint tryna buy a $20 gift certificate for a $14.99 tank.
