PayPal
What's the deal with most people wanting to be paid with paypal. Does it protect the seller or buyer or both, and is it safe.

I notice the rules of the Forum say in part:Complaints about businesses, persons, or transactions unrelated to this site (in general all complaints will be deleted). So I will not say what I think about Paypal until I find out if it is breaking the rules. I will say I am very mad about something. LOL

I have used PP for several GB transactions. One thing I do is put a note in the "Notes" box that just says "For GB #XXXXXXXX thanks for your help". I haven't had any trouble with PP rejecting the transaction doing it that way.

PayPal can be used so long as the transaction doesn't violate their policy on firearms:
We [PayPal] don?t allow PayPal members to buy or sell any kind of firearm, whether it?s in working order or not. The same goes for certain firearm parts and ammunition.
For example, using PayPal, you can?t buy or sell:
?Any firearm, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, whether they?re for sport and recreation, collectibles, or curio or relic firearms.
?Firearm parts, including but not limited to receivers and frames, silencers, and kits designed to modify guns so that they fire automatically. High capacity magazines, multi-burst trigger activators, and camouflaging firearm containers are other items in this category.
?Ammunition, including propellants like gunpowder or blank ammunition; ammunition or cartridge cases; and primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for any firearm.
Stun gun sales are allowed for U.S. residents, but only if the transaction is permitted by law in both the buyer's and seller's jurisdictions. (PayPal account holders outside the U.S. can?t buy or sell stun guns.) Before they complete a sale, U.S. sellers must make sure that the transaction is legal in both locations.
Related items that you can buy and sell using PayPal include paintball guns, blank guns, and air-soft guns, as long as such transactions are legal in the applicable jurisdiction. All of these items must display the markings required by law, must not be convertible to shoot a lethal projectile, and can?t include blank ammunition.
If PayPal is used in violation of their policy, Gun Broker will turn a blind eye (happily ignore) to any problems which may result from the transaction.0 -
The secret code word that folks trying to pay with PP for prohibited items is "discrete Paypal". If you use words such as gun, firearm, rifle, shotgun, etc, on your invoice or email, they will bust your ovaries.

I refuse to use PAY PAL. They still owe me about 78 dollars from 9 years ago. I bought an item and paid by pay pal. And it was not against their policy. The seller changed his mind and told them the sale was cancelled by mutual consent. I told them BS and to return my $$$. They told me the seller was a respected seller and would let me know. All messages since then have gone unanswered. I will buy elsewhere if pay pal is required. 0 -
I have used Paypal both personally and for my business for years. I have had no trouble at all receiving or sending funds.
You should follow their rules, but it's none of their business how you spend your money.0 -
I have used it from time to time to accept payment. Friends & Family gets it to you the fastest with no extra charges. So you have a friend or family member that wants to send you some cash for a plane ticket... 0
