Paypal is anti-gun?

[Chinrednek]

Thought the group would like to know, PayPal is anti-gun. They shut of my account without warning because they found out I was transacting in "gun related" activity. Not even firearms, just gun related. Then they wouldn't turn it back on until they got documents that they wouldn't tell me what they wanted. I'll do everything I can to never use them again and I hope you will too!

Unfortunately this isn't new news - its been going on since the VA Tech shootings - you're lucky they didn't screw ya earlier. But sorry it happened to you friend.

OPen another

Which is why it is so fun to use Paypal to donate to Pro 2A groups.

 

[rj1974]

Pay Pal has always been anti 2A .

Buy bitcoins. It's the future currency.

Don't beat up on poor little paypal - after all I'm sure they know how to keep the world safe from all those murderous guns. Plus their higher moral standards (read Corporate Self Defense Training's New Techniques) tell us its better to have our women vomit or urinate upon the touch of a would be attacker and that should logically turn the attacker away... right because there's so much logic and reasin going thru the rapist's mind!!!!! So they must know more than I do - all I did was teach my wife how to shoot really really well.

I wish reasonable corporations would step in and fill the void; lord knows they could make money doing it. Don't like "dirty" gun money, Bank of America? I'd take it elsewhere if there was someone welcoming me.

The lib media had a monopoly for forty years, until Fox News arrived. Now Fox gets more viewers per night than the next four combined.

This is a good time to remind everyone that the NRA has credit cards that we can use. The NRA gets a cut of every purchase too!

Yeah I sold a lower and upper on GB and the buyer put AR-15 upper and lower in the memo when he sent money even when I told him not to. They shut off my account, and they turned it back on when I "promised" not to do that again. I have bought and sold a lot of gun related stuff I just tell the seller or buyer what I am using as code to pay for the items.

 

[BlackBart]

YET, one can buy anything gun related Ebay allows to sell. Barrels, scopes, sights, trigger assy.... anything but a receiver. What ********.

 

[MDFF2008]

Isn't the receiver the regulated part?

I always , ALWAYS use my paypal debit card to pay for gun related crap. This way I never get nailed by paypal.

Hell they ought to be pleased. I used my paypal smart connect account to pay for my brand new Hi-point carbine and 2 boxes of ammo!

They might control my paypal transactions but they can hinder my paypal debit card use.

I've always found it ironic that the RVWA uses PayPal for Appleseeds and for their webstore. I think MSI does as well...

No, you're not safe that way either. That's EXACTLY what I was using to purchase some ammo from Century a few years ago, when they locked down my account with several hundred dollars in it. I haven't used PayPal since (except for a handful of donations). I closed my eBay account too, in protest.

Paypal pissed me off years ago. Now, if someone has payment by paypal only, I do not even consider buying from them.

Yes, PayPal (an parent company eBay) is severely anti-2A. They also have taken the same stance with legitimate police badge collectors. I have a large collection of badges and have had to change the description to "jewelry" when paying or accepting payment via PayPal.

 

[circadia]

I sold some mags on ebay a few months ago and the buyer paid me through PayPal. I guess I was lucky the transaction went through!

that is so stupid.

it is designed to deflate.

good to know.

I set up paypal.

I've bought some stuff from different gun site and also donated to the SAF and GOA from it. That is funny how the SAF has a big paypal logo right on their site. Maybe I'll just us a credit card next time. It looks like the money went through though.
