PMWILLIAMTONY watch out for him

[SkyHawk]

Common sense should tell you it's probably not wise to send funds without any recourse to someone you've never met and has no/little feedback.

It sounds like OP thought he was sending funds to another calgunner, and got their PMs mixed up. That's the impression I got anyway

[SPC G]

Skyhawk got it right thats what happen

[rareair]

To SPC G, please keep us updated on your unfortunate circumstance. Hopefully you’ve already opened up a dispute with PayPal. They’ll lock his account, as well as any funds in the account, immediately while under investigation.

Why people still use PP for gun stuff is beyond me.

What would you suggest?

[freonr22]

What would you suggest?

Zelle?

Zelle?

And you think Zelle is safer than sending PP F&F?

of course not, but I have used it, although it was in person and the ammo was in my hand, well in a rather large box, but you get the point.

paypal works fine if the member has good feedback and some post history. I never mention anything in the comments sections no matter what the payment is for.

Almost all are anti-gun and offer no protection to the buyer or seller if they find out what you are selling/buying.

The few companies that support 2A business are little known and few people have accounts with them.

I started using Gunbroker Pay to move away from Paypal, and still buyers choose not to use it. They rather take their chances with Paypal or send a USPS money order and wait.

The difference is Zelle wont cancel you if they find out your payment was for firearms related stuff.

Either is fine IMO as long as you are dealing with a super solid person.

Meet face to face at a reputable event...like the Big Sandy shoot coming up October 22-24, more information at BigSandyShoot.com...

Thats a fair point, but as far as protection for the buyers goes, one is no better than the other which was my point when responding about why people use PP FF.

Using PP for firearms related sales in defiance of their TOS is the best way to say FU to them.

I use Paypal a lot due to buying items on ebay. I know PayPal is liberal, but if you are going to use their services, they deserve their fees. If you claim the transaction is between Family and Friends and the transaction goes bad, don't expect them to help someone out who tried to defraud them of their service fee.

Of course your best gun friendly option is GPAL!
