Ecig Vaping, The Electronic Cigarette Purchasing Experience And Replacing Tobacco Smoking For Your Health

Vaping Is Better And Will Be Safer When As Forced Improvements Are Made

Written By James Allan | 1-16-2018

I am fairly new to vaping. I purchased 2 ecig brands here and there over the past 2 years and was disappointed. It's to bad that I didn't try to find out more because my first two attempts that failed is now a success on my third try. My third try turned up an ecig that was satisfying to my needs and got me off of regular tobacco for good.

My first attempt at e-cigarettes was purchasing a starter kit on a promotional deal. I paid the promotional price of $5.00 through my credit card and the starter kit was mailed to me. I was happy with the way the package looked but as it goes looks are not everything and I found out the bad was in play. Soon afterwards I received another small package with refills I had never ordered. I went and looked at my credit card charges and this ecig company charged me $99.95 for the promotional starter kit and the two packages of refills. Of course I went to my bank and told them this ecig company ripped me off big time. My bank refunded me the $99.95 and said they took away the companies ability to use their credit card for any reason. The bank customers would not be able to use their credit cards with this ecig company anymore. I found out later that many people were duped by this ecig company and had the same problem. The name of this ecig company is, "E-Cigs" and "E-Liq". I was left with the starter kit and didn't even bother to try them fearing I was going to get poisoned if I did.

"Stripe" came to be a few years ago and as it goes the growth is slow.

Many internet web hosting and selling marketplace sites have already installed and offer it up as a payment option for its stores.

Ioffer.com and Ecrater.com online marketplaces have transitioned over to using "Stripe". Godaddy and Shopify are just a few out of thousands that use "Stripe" now.

The Evolution Of Ebay Stores Into Corporate Profits That Once Was A Great Selling Venue

What Ebay Stores Were Is Not What Ebay Stores Are Now

Written By Jim Allan | 8-29-2016

Everyone knows what Ebay is. Ebay was the sensation of the 2000's with Meg Whitman at the helm of the corporation. Meg Whitman was hired in March of 1998 and kept Ebay loose and easy with a fee structure that kept all the auction marketplace wannabes at bay. The buyer traffic was plenty as a huge base of sellers were the cheerleaders bragging to their friends about how they made a sale or sales that were pleasing to them. Sellers and buyers were also running around their towns and cities flashing their Paypal credit cards as if they were in grade school showing off their popular trending toy. In the mid 1990's the emerging eCommerce markets were the new trend and Ebay stood out on top of the pile.
