I got an email from GunPal

I think what he is saying is that this it too good to be true in his beautiful life.

And it almost seems to be imposible to happen in CA.

Either that or he was listening to The Talking Heads while typing his reply.

Thanks VINZ for clearing it all up for me. Prior to your explanation all I heard was peepee kaka no substance.

Am I the first to sign up???? This is not my beautiful life

Am I an Idiot??? This can't be happening in the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC of KALIFORNISTAN!

You're smart!

We are fortunate.

I have been signed up.

I wont sign up. It is just another way to get my information out on the net. Sorry guys.

I respect your decision, however I created GUNPAL so that firearm owners would not have to release their sensitive banking information to retailer after retailer.

In-fact, while no security is perfect - your CC is probably safer in GUNPAL than it is sitting on your desk at night.

GP safeguiards your information and acts as your agent when you make a purchase, vendors never see your account details. This minimizes the number of places your CC or bank information is stored.

Best!

The fewer people that have access to your CC information the better, especially for smaller retailers that you cannot personally vet. I have few issues about giving a CC number to Midway. They are a legitimate business that has been around a long time, and is well known for its ethical practcies.

Joe's internet gun accessories store, is not so well known, nor is there any way to vet him properly. Yet he may have some neat stuff at a good price. An intermediary like Gunpal (or Paypal) adds a layer of protection to your tansaction. If the seller starts to be a scam artist, they will just not allow him to accept money anymore.

If you use a CC to fund GP or PP purchases, you have another layer of protection from the CC company. Nothing is perfect, but you have insulated yourself better from a potentially unscrupulous seller.

I am not overjoyed with the idea of having a bank account linked directly to either a PP or GP account, due to the user agreement that allows either entity to take money from your account basically as they see fit, with little that you can do other than beg them to give you the money back. The experience on PP for a lot of sellers is that they never tell you upfront when they take funds from your bank account, and they are extremely reluctant to give it back, and often the reasons for taking the money in the first place are pretty dubious.

If I was going to take either one as payment for any significant amount of moeny, I would set up a bank account to sweep the money into on a regular basis and then transfer it out to an account they have no access to.

BTW, one thing PP has done to some sellers is to try and take money from a bank account in excess of the balance, and then charge the seller a fee because they were unable to take it. In reading the GP user agreement, it appears you have agreed to the same thing in accepting GP.

I am not sure there is a good answer to this problem.

You misread. You are a veteran actor born in 76.
