I run a vape store submission site and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the United States that additionally sells CBD product lines. A Calendar month afterwards, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been restricted and have asked us to take out PayPal as a payment solution from our vape shop directory. We do not retail CBD goods like CBD oil. We only provide marketing professional services to CBD firms. I have taken a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Well known Health Retail store and if you take a good peek, you will witness that they offer for sale a fairly wide-ranging series of CBD goods, specifically CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a payment method. It seems that PayPal is administering double standards to different firms. Because of this stipulation, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related site. This has restrained my payment possibilities and currently, I am seriously dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have checked with a barrister from a Magic Circle law firm in The city of london and they explained that what PayPal is undertaking is definitely illegal and inequitable as it ought to be applying a consistent criterion to all companies. I am yet to talk with another legal representative from a US law office in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. In the meantime, I would be extremely appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
