Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone Know How PayPal Works?

Hawk...hate seeing you stress out like this. PM me your PayPal acct number and I'll take care of this for you.

It's how I roll!

See there Hawk---that's the kind of thing WE protect against. The bad guys..

Thanks so much, Isaac. A PM is on the way with all of my pertinent account numbers. Should I also send you my SS number?

Only if you are sure that this is the real Isaac. This could be Isaac in China.

I'd trust a Chinese Isaac before I'd trust the one we have here.

Just kidding, Isaac.

I've paid via PayPal but never sold anything using the PayPal money transfer system.

Good luck, man. Hope you're not wondering as to a big chunk of change.

I bet a bunch of the classified guys could have you the straight skinny pronto.

PS...got the PM. Thanks for the account info and SSN!! Consider yourself all taken care of!

Now don't forget your officer of the court status.

Now send me the passwords Hawkeye, and I'll help Bob out. I'm sure we can come up with some "results" in no time at all!

I have found PayPal to be very anti-firearms/2nd Amendment. I do as little business through them as possible. They can arbitrarily freeze your funds and reek havoc with your account. Their political leanings are very liberal/left leaning.

There is an alternative. It is Gunpal. They will also donate a percentage of your transactions to the non-profit organization of your choosing, such as GOA, NRA, your favorite ministry or whatever. They are very pro-2nd, and work as well as PP in my experience.

Thanks. That information may come in handy.

The Paypal pfishing schemes were rampant for a while. Now on Ebay auctions they hide the full bidder ID's, which helps prevent crooks sending scams.

I fell for a 2nd chance bid once on an outboard motor, then realized immediately it was fake, and quickly changed all my Ebay and Paypal passwords. No harm done.

I've had more trouble with debit cards than with Paypal. Firearms I just use money orders or cashier checks, what few I have bought by mail.

Read your PayPal account agreement and then READ IT AGAIN. If you have a business account set up with them, beware. All a buyer has to do is pay through Paypal with his credit card and then contact his credit card company, file a claim for any reason (did not receive, authenticity, not as described, whatever he dreams up). The buyer's credit card company reverses the charges, PayPal then deducts the funds from you, and you are now out whatever you shipped. Can't happen that way? It did to me! Never use PayPal!

Food for thought. Thanks.

I second the above. I have used both, but now only will use GunPal.

Type PayPal into a search engine and do a little research. They can cause you a lot of heartburn. Just my 2 cents.

I was grudgingly using paypal until a few months ago when I sold an item (not a gun) and the person put a word in the comment box that was the same as the name of a gun. Paypal locked up my account and asked for no explanation, there was no option to explain the situation. Thankfully I was able to request a check and get my money out but I am done with them. I also had received many of the fake emails.

Just google paypal problems. There are websites devoted to how people have been screwed by paypal. Paypal is anti 2nd Amendment, anti gun, use it at your own risk.
