It appears the feds are making life difficult for the research liquid sellers. I highly suspect it’s because of pressure put on them from the pharmaceutical companies that make Viagra, Cialis, etc. (that’s the lobby for you.) Madison James Research said in a recent email “Tadalafil and Sildenafil has been taken off the site due to visa ordering it.
If you would like to order these items, please email me.” So apparently this is how they’re pressuring this market.
So it looks like pressure is coming through Visa (and or Mastercard) to refuse to process payments for these labs. As you may know, PurchasePeptides lost their CC processor for a while and switched to a payment processor in China, which is why credit cards are getting declined sometimes. I placed an order and got a fraud alert from mine, but I was able OK the charge and it went through.
So if you’re getting declined, it’s because they’ve had to go offshore to accept CC. It’s just making their lives a lot more difficult.
It’s a gray area of the law, obviously. It takes congress ages to change laws and I’m sure the pharma lobby is trying to get this practice made illegal eventually, but in the mean time they’re harassing them through payment processors. I wonder how long we’ll be able to get this stuff this way (probably for a while, but not forever.)
I’m seriously considering getting some bitcoin finally. I’ve resisted it but if these sites are shifting toward it, maybe it’s time.
