Looking for information regarding a long distance PPT

And if there is any problem with the transaction, which is why you might want to use paypal for protection, then ...

You are screwed, just like the gift option.

Which is why you don't want to use paypal for firearms. At least with a USPS money order, if the seller does something dishonest, you can file a mail fraud complaint.

I had a buyer put "Browning 1919 T&E" in my last PayPal transaction. No retribution from PayPal so far. Good thing he didn't use the term "machine gun".

SO how does all of this thread then square with this from Bill back in 2008??

A "split PPT" appear to be runnable as "gun show transaction".

Calgunner/FFL 'mscale5' wrote about this year or two ago, I've appended here:

From http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...hlight=mscale5, (with a bit of reformatting from me):

If you are a CA PRIVATE PARTY and wish to sell your firearm to CA PRIVATE PARTY in another part
of the state you can have your firearm shipped to a FFL in the buyers area. Here is how you do this:

• Take your firearm to a FFL.

• Have (originating) FFL PRINT a DROS form for Gun Shows; he fills out the "Sellers Information" section
  of the form and make a copy of your CA DL or ID card on the back - I also ask for the sellers' thumbprint
  - and SWIPE the DL or ID, and print the info on the back of the form like for Gun Show transactions when
  a computer isn't available.

• With this DROS filled out, the (originating) FFL can ship the firearm to the buyers' (destination) FFL and
  the (rest of the) paperwork can be filled out. To do this, the (originating) FFL must ship the firearm as verification it is the firearm that came from that person. Shipping cost should be lower then the cost of driving to do the transfer.
  
  This is how I was told by the DOJ to do this type of transaction.

Someone ought to start a firearm friendly alternative to PayPal. (Casts hook).

SO how does all of this thread then square with this from Bill back in 2008??

Back then DOJ was putting out information in support of this process. Now it is strictly against it. Whether or not it is technically legal (I've not done any research on it) I'm not going to go out of my way to make a creative solution for someone so I can make $10.
