Because PayPal* can be used as a payment method for many items sold on the GunBroker site, we do allow sellers to list it as a payment option. PayPal may be used on GunBroker for the purchase of fishing merchandise, archery merchandise, articles of clothing, accessories, and other merchandise. PayPal may NOT be used to purchase firearms, firearm, accessories, firearm components, firearm parts, or ammunition. According to it's terms of use, PayPal does not allow the use of it's service or logo for selling firearms, certain firearm parts or ammunition. If a seller and buyer have selected to use PayPal for payment, they will need to provide each other with their email address for their PayPal accounts. The seller can then send an invoice through PayPal, and the transaction can be completed through the PayPal site.
Please note: The use of PayPal Friends and Family is strictly prohibited by GunBroker. The use of PayPal for items such as firearms, certain firearm parts, and ammo is prohibited by PayPal, see below.
