Nov 3 PayPal gets in the anti-gun crowd

[hullhullhull]

I used Paypal yesterday to buy some Discreet Carry Concepts clips for a holster. Worked great.

Who uses Paypal?

I still have an account. Have not used it much in years. Maybe shut it down Nov 2?

Just transferred all my money back to my bank and left one cent in the account. Just to bug them.

That’s one cent more than I have ever left in there…

I still have a PayPal account . Last time I used it was to buy some .257 Roberts brass.

Didn’t have any problems.

as long as you arent overt about buying firearms parts or firearms themselves they are none the wiser lmao.

The key phrase is "certain firearm parts or accessories". They don't mean grips or mags under 10 rounds, they mean the usual suspects: 80% receivers, mags over 10 rounds, foregrips...although I am not sure I have ever seen an actual list.

So....you're guessing, with no guidance from PP. Good way to get in trouble w/them. I've cancelled them - don't need their BS.

Gunbroker allowed PP to be used as a payment option up until about a year ago and it has worked fine even afterward if the parties are covert about it.

Its been about six months since I've used PP and I won't be using them anymore.

Go woke - go broke. Goodbye paypal.

Um.....you REALLY need to read their TOS - since about 10 years ago. If they EVER catch you using their service to buy/sell a firearm, your account WILL be locked - and your funds subject to seizure. And they will NOT assist in case of any kind of fraud/defect on a firearm transaction. Folks need to pay attention. Had a buddy get his account locked many years ago for a firearm transaction - over $8k in his account. His widow finally gave up trying to recover the funds last year.

I was going to say that I thought this was old news.

I use Pay Pal to donate to GOA.

In some respects, yes - the new aspect is the "fines" they claim they can now levy at you.

An 80% reciever is just a chunk of metal...

I like it!

I use it to buy my canned dog food.

Me no use PP ever! It is one of the least safe methods of money transfers. I use a credit card with fraud protection or cash.

My PP pays through my CC.

You haven't been able to buy guns or ammo using PP for at least 8-10 years. Looks like they just repeating their rules.

What do you mean? I've been using PP to buy exactly that over the last 8-10 years with 0 issues.
PP has never bothered to email me that my transaction is being spied on and I am being discriminated against due to my purchasing habits.
When that day comes, they can suck my appendage and will be dropped instantly with a polite email that I do not subscribe to socialist oppression, discrimination and overreach of authority.
With more and more business accepting CCs directly now, the need for GayPal is waning rapidly.
