PayPal is an international payment service provider that has established itself worldwide. However, the platform insists on special terms of use, so that certain transactions via PayPal are prohibited. These prohibitions of PayPal include the payment, purchase and delivery of poppers. It is therefore impossible to purchase poppers with PayPal.

Things to know about PayPal
PayPal account users benefit from the advantages of a digital account that can be used to send money online or pay on websites. PayPal can be used via the payment service provider’s website or app.
Paying for poppers via PayPal: A question of impossibility
Requirements for the permissible use of PayPal prohibit the use of the payment service for certain activities. Poppers or certain nitrites such as amyl or pentyl nitrite are not classified as drugs. However, the substances are not approved for sale in some countries such as the USA. Because PayPal is headquartered in the USA, the legislation applicable in the USA also automatically affects the payment service provider’s activities in other countries. In some US states, poppers are classified as an illegal substance. A purchase and delivery via PayPal is therefore not possible.
PayPal as a payment option: a warning
Consumers should be wary of online stores that offer PayPal as a payment option when buying poppers. In this case, those affected must expect that their accounts may be blocked at any time. Before buying the chemicals, play it safe by checking whether the website is based in Germany, Switzerland or another country in Europe. The website should also receive good ratings and provide competent customer service. For this reason, you should definitely refrain from using e-commerce websites that offer this payment option. Otherwise there is a risk of financial losses.
Advantages and disadvantages of PayPal
In contrast to other payment options, PayPal offers numerous advantages. As a user of the service, for example, you benefit from the fact that you do not have to enter any bank details for transactions over the Internet. However, the payment service provider is authorized to resell personal information.
