  2. I operate a vape shop submission site and we have had a posting from a vape shop in the USA that likewise offers for sale CBD items. A Calendar month later, PayPal has written to use to say that our account has been limited and have requested us to take out PayPal as a payment method from our vape store website directory. We do not offer for sale CBD product lines such as CBD oil. We simply offer marketing services to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Leading Wellness Retail store and if you take a good look, you will witness that they offer a rather comprehensive stable of CBD goods, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a payment method. It appears that PayPal is administering double standards to different firms. Because of this constraint, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related internet site. This has constricted my payment options and presently, I am heavily reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have sought advice from a solicitor from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they explained that what PayPal is undertaking is definitely not legal and discriminatory as it ought to be applying a consistent criterion to all companies. I am still to check with one more lawyer from a US law office in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. In the meantime, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
