You are the 5th person I know that has been burned by G Pal.

Ya I didn't mean to bring it up. There is a 2K+ post thread on the forums here allready. I don't think anyone got their money from the time gunpal switched to g-pal. I would suggest that anyone with money in their g-pal account spend it on somthing rather then trying to get a check or deposite out of g-pal.

Anyway on to bigger and better.

Swage On!

pay pal is no better,they are ani gun,they froze my account when they found i was selling bullets.

Ya but did you get your $$ owed to you? This was the original reason I went with gunpal because of anti paypal. But like I said on to better things.

guess this change happend when ebay stopped allowing bullet sells?
I've not used paypal since then but my ebay account and paypal account was for bullet sales only when it was allowed on ebay. I moved 1k's of dollars threw my paypal account for nothing but bullet sales. My how times have changed.

Pay Pal is owned by e-bay, and both are extremely anti-gun.

Be sure you never put any gun related terms in a PayPal document. Sell "tools", or "parts". They have locked accounts for words like "barrels" "ammo" etc.

I really hate to see them get a nickel of my hard earned money, and would rather send a money order to folks. But I tend to be a bit of a curmudgeon...

Hope it works out for you.

+1 anymore I do cash/check/Money Order. Ive seen several guys get their accounts locked for selling gun related stuff so be carefull.

It can even be someone buying something that puts "Bullet Press" or something in the description that throws up a red flag.

Read the fine print in the user agreement about "prohibited" items

Thank you, Brian. This makes it much easier for a lot of us.


When people use their brains when using PayPal, it's no problem. I've used it hundreds of times to purchase firearm related merchandise, but since what I'm buying are tools, that's what I list, plain and simple. I've never had any funds held up, nor have the sellers. Just use your head and beat their system. I'll even add 4% to the seller's price for the convenience of using PayPal, since it's a twenty mile round trip to the Post Office for me, plus the charge for a money order, plus the cost of the stamp. That's not to mention that it might be a couple of days before I drive into town. With PayPal, I just sit down in front of my computer and transfer the funds, and my part is on it's way.

Thank you BT, I don't know why more vendors here won't use Paypal. I've used it since the beginning and never had much of an issue with it. I too was burned by Gpal.

Even though Paypal is anti-gun and a pain it opens up a whole 'nuther world of sales to you. Oh how I wish Gunpal had been legit..............

Regarding Paypal, it is against the terms of use to charge a surcharge for accepting Paypal. Many sellers do this and they risk not being protected by the Seller Protection Agreement by doing so.

I'm happy to offer a form of payment for those otherwise unable to purchase these "tools". If I had my way our money would stay in pockets of those we agree with and trust. Thought I had that with gunpal and had 4 sucessfull transactions. Then g-pal stole from us all. So obviously money order and check will be my prefered form of payments.

So when an account is "locked" can you still retreive your money? Or do they steal it from you too that which is not theirs to take?

Still see lots of reloading tools and even the shooter shack is still selling on e-bay so we shall see.

Thanks for the coments and concerns.

BT,
I use paypal whenever possible for purchasing items
I've purchased many things that are alledgedly "not allowed" items.
Infact, I paid for a 41 cal. Blackhawk with paypal.
I use wording like, tooling, molds, brass pieces.
and I leave out the "gun" words.
Paypal is very handy, yeah there is a 2 or 3 % fee when collecting funds, that kinda sucks.

I live in a rural area, the post office is 10 miles away. The nearest medium sized city is more than an hour. Over the years, paypal has enabled thousands of dollars worth of supplies and whatever we need. UPS and the USPS have all but eliminated the need to drive hours for things we need.

Those folks who require a money order typically end up waiting a day or two til I get into town to the post office, and another couple for USPS to bring it to their door. Then they have to go to the bank...!

I've been a buyer and a seller for years. Paypal is instant. The relatively minor surcharge has been balanced out many times over in saved time and fuel and travel.

I am willing to go either way. But for me, I prefer the paypal.

PayPal benifits is obvious just wish they where not against us interested in shooting supplies.

Good shooting.

the reason that a lot of vendors don't use them is because Pay Pal among others donates money to anti- gun groups... Brady Campaign and Handgun Control Inc. are just a couple. so why would one donate funds to the enemy. anothe example where gun owners are there own worst enemy.

Is that confirmed? I've heard that as scuttlebut in the past but never seen any actual proof.

Gun owners aren't their own worst enemy. Gpal, and Ben Cannon is.
