Our story with PayPal

Unfortunately , we as many of you were not aware of that policy and PayPal blocked our old website (HOOKAH2) for that reason , PayPal limited our old account then we stopped accepting PayPal at that time and the only available payment method was the transfer via WU , STC , MoneyGram …… etc.

Do we accept PayPal for selling Hookah tobacco now on Nargila4u.com.

We have contacted PayPal and again after we created this website and requested approval to use the new PayPal tobacco policy and selling our products worldwide , PayPal replied to us after more than 3 months and asked us some official papers , Owner info , store license , and registration , then after long dissection they finally they give us approval to sell products in some countries , not worldwide as we wanted.
