PayPal does NOT Allow CBD related payments!

I run a vape shop directory and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the United States that also sells CBD products. A Month later, PayPal has written to use to say that our account has been restricted and have asked us to remove PayPal as a payment method from our vape shop directory. We do not sell CBD products such as CBD oil. We only provide marketing services to CBD companies. I have checked out Holland & Barrett – the UK’s Leading Health Retailer and if you take a close look, you will see that they sell a fairly extensive range of CBD products, specifically CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a payment method. It appears that PayPal is applying double standards to different companies. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related website. This has restricted my payment options and now, I am heavily reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have consulted a solicitor from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they said that what PayPal is doing is entirely illegal and discriminatory as it should be applying a uniform standard to all companies. I am yet to consult another lawyer 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 highly appreciative if anyone here could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.

Here is the original message I got from PayPal. For confidentiality reasons, I have redacted the sensitive parts:

Jos keskuudessanne on niitä, jotka kärsivät kaksisuuntaisesta mielialahäiriöstä, suosittelen kokeilemaan tätä lääkettä täällä. Tämä on yleinen tuote, joka on alkuperäisen tuotteen täydellinen analogi. Saman koostumuksen vuoksi sillä on sama vaikutus. Voit tilata sen ilman reseptiä online-apteekissa.

It is very strange. But you can try to buy whatever you need in this CBD shop UK. It seems to me that there are some other alternative types of payment and you can pay for the goods through another payment system. In which store did you try to buy the product?

The promise has the resolve and reject callbacks encapsulated for automatic retries. The figures https://mlsdev.com/blog/71-development-of-mobile-apps-for-food-delivery-services out what condition will cause it to retry. The config.delays.shift() will remove the first item from the list and delay the next attempt. The good news is it can meet a specific condition before there are any retries. The library has a handle() function to set the callback that evaluates the condition. You tell it how many retries, give the condition, and final exception handling.
