Hey TEM, you best read up on that. It is prohibited per PayPal's rules and regs that you agree to when signing up. You know that jibberish no one ever reads when setting up anything anymore. There are many reports of PayPal figuring out it has been used for a gun related purchase and then freezing the account AND any bank accounts associated with it. Google it and learn. Many horror stories. Why do you think PayPal isnt allowed on GunBroker?

PayPal has a very anti-gun position. For these reasons the informed gun traders refuse to accept PayPal, and if they do they demand it been done "discretely", which means absolutely no words in the memo section. That's how PayPal finds out its gun related. They have programs scanning for such language as gun manuf, models, keywords, etc.

And give your Trade some more time, its still early in the process. Good luck

cut his nuts out!

Other than the 17 I just bought I always speak with the seller on the phone before committing to buy a firearm on here. You can vet a pretty good idea of the type of person you are dealing with.
I assume you have a mailing address? If so why not call the police in that town and tell them what's up?


Hope it works out for the OP.

Since it out, his so called name is Nelson Clyde. Please someone tell me you know him. PLEASE TELL ME

I'm like you in that I don't understand why PP allows buying/selling of firearms parts through eBay, however, if I understand it correctly eBay and PP split ways a year or 2 ago. In fact, I got a message a few days ago from eBay announcing that they were going to be using a new pay system/company in the next year or 2. In fact, here is a quote from that message. "We have signed an agreement with Adyen, a leading global payments processor, to become our primary payments processing partner. PayPal, a long-time eBay partner, will be a payments option at checkout for eBay buyers."

I sell fishing lures on eBay and suspect that eBay will get more money from Adyen than PP on this deal.

Also-I see on Gunbroker where a number of Sellers accept PP. So, even though PP no doubt stops some exchanges I suspect that when one sells on a forum like this the likelihood of PP catching that it is a firearm is slim. But, that is just my opinion. If though, something goes wrong and there is a problem with the delivery and if it becomes exposed that it is a firearm in question, all bets are off.

Good luck.....he has 111 posts......all this month. In very random forums. Ive sniffed out scammers before and this is their exact MO. Did he ask for tracking info with payment?

This guy was classic! 111 posts in the last 16 days in many different forums, but not one in the classifieds. Take a good look at his first 100 posts, many with broken english. Then in the last week he posts 3 high ticket items in the classifieds, and two are purchased! I just hope they can catch and prosecute this [bleep]!

I bet his telephone number doesnt match his forum location either.

10 gauge mag, how can you tell he posted 47 minutes ago. Thanks

No way to confirm and I may be jumping to conclusions but that name (rearranged) rang a bell and I wondered if Nelson might be a middle name - Clyde Nelson Voorhees....

This guy has been scamming folks on other sites and one gentleman made reference here in the classifieds a few months back.
Might be coincidence, might not. Shame on me if it is but.....

Go to his profile page.

Not posted, but he was online. He obviously is looking to see if he has been outed yet, before he can scam someone else in the classifieds!!

I would bet on it!

Don't know where the info came from that Cashier's Checks can have a stop payment placed on them. My bank's branch manager told me that since they are guaranteed funds they cannot have a stop payment placed on them. The only exception to that is if the check is lost and there is a 30 day waiting period on that. Perhaps it's different from state to state but that's the law where I live.

So what's the address you sent the money to?


PO box?

Where did you send the check?
I would think a call to local PD is in order. Although they may tell you to wait a bit.

Does anyone know if jcm got that scope? I called seconds on it, and the guy PM's me and said the buyer backed out, and it was mine if I wanted it. I passed, because he wouldn't do paypal AND I had a bad feeling about his answers. I kinda thought the guy might be Larry Root, but SKane is smarter than me.

Close one Huntsman,he was probably trying to double down,
while I hope we are overthinking this,I have had great luck on these classified,but there's always a turd in the punch bowl.

I'm grabbin another IPA and some popcorn

I wouldn’t buy from anyone with 111 posts, scammer or not.
