Just because it is legal doesn’t mean PayPal wants to provide services for such businesses. It’s their right to allow it or not. Find another payment processor who will.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

All very well PayPal refusing to process payments for (smaller) businesses who sell CBD products but they DO ALLOW people to use PayPal to purchase CBD products from the likes of Holland and Barrett AND Boots (Part of Walgreens Boots Alliance).

Paypal does not accept money from cbd oil sales.They freeze your account for 180 days.This is what happened to me.No warning boom.Nearly lost my business .went with viva wallet.Paypal only accepts money from Holland and Barret for cbd in uk as far as I know.Which is all part of the plan ,as the oil from this company once purchased will put anyone from trying the real oil from anywhere else.
