I frankly love Paypal and if your account is set up right there are ZERO fees for buyer or seller when using the "gift" option.
I recently discovered that there are ZERO fees for either party if you use the "services" option.
Sure makes payment either way very very easy and quick. seems like stealing to me.

Refunds through PP also don't cost a thing.

Set up your account right and there are no fees taken out on either end.
I haven't had a single cent of fees taken out any time I used the gift or services options.
Get yourself the Paypal Smart Connect card and all those fees go away.

Recently I have been receiving my neighbors mail and my neighbors have been receiving my mail. I'm actually getting stuff for the same street number but wrong street lately. Funny that I see this post as I'm going to the Post Office today to raise hell about this. I had a substantial check get delivered to the wrong address and it took me 2 weeks to get it from a neighbor. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Matt sent the check and the USPS screwed up. I can see why both guys are pissed but maybe they can hug it out and lead us all in a rendition of kumbya

Actually it's funny as Hell as we had been training to fight in the Desert for eleven years before the conflict started in 1990.
Hell, I trained in the desert to go to VietNam. Ft. Bliss, Texas does not have much jungle.  miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Re: Firearm policy...
Feb-02-201104:42 PM
I read the policy today to determine whether I could sell a barrel using PayPal.
I'm a tax attorney and I get paid to interpret complicated statutes, regulations, court cases, etc.
Anyway...the policy appears to be intentionally written to be ambiguous and confusing.
PayPal would have no more legal liability than would my credit card company or UPS for shipping it.
Obviously it is just a political statement. Personally, I find it repugnant that PayPal has a problem with a perfectly legal transaction just because it doesn't square with their political beliefs. GPal (from google) doesn't have a problem with it, so I'm going to use them and I encourage others to do the same.

Anybody want to look up the numbers on the refund I sent Friday afternoon. They are in the pictures I took and posted.
Or maybe take a WAG as to what happened?

If you use the gift option and either have $$ in your paypal account or are linked to a bank account and backed by a credit card, there are NEVER any fees to use this service (gift). But you have to set it up correctly to avoid the fees.
So yes, there IS a free ride. You just have to know how to hitch-hike ha ha!

Business 101 tells us that if a few gun guys have figured out a loop hole so that PayPal makes no money for providing a service that costs them money to provide, that PayPal will not allow this loop hole to last for very long. Just saying.

It's lasted a long time already but I agree that Paypal cannot continue this in perpetuity.
It isn't just gun guys who use the gift option either.
You get no protection from PP using gift so maybe it isn't very costly for them.
PP services also is a no fee service if your account is set up correctly.

Please let this thread be a lesson to all noob trolls. My favorite quote of the entire thread!
Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: Too much noise ruins the hunt.
