Sorry that you are having issues. Being able to Buy your way into the classifieds has never seemed right to me, but I’m nobody.

Being able to Buy your way into the classifieds has never seemed right to me, but I’m nobody.

Especially when it's touted that building a report with the community is the reason for the rule. But we see what takes precedent. I don't care one way or the other personally but I understand it. Not my wheelhouse not my rules

 

[NyleRN]

Op, have you heard anything yet? I'm hoping this is a case of some life event that's kept him from communicating

 

[Cameramonkey]

I tagged him yesterday morning and no appearance in the thread. That is disappointing.

Yep. He hasnt been online here since the 13th.

I used the Site Supporter route because at first I didn't post much ( others had already said what I would have said )
But even after I passed 50 posts I continued to pay Site Supporter just for the Other Benefits

I have heard nothing. From any source so far. No paypal, INGO, send it-LLC or the Facebook. I’d like to think I didn’t intentionally get screwed. I agree that buying the ability to post and use the classifieds should NOT be a thing. But eh! Not my circus not my clowns.

I buy stuff from several gun related business's with PayPal. AA Optics uses PayPal as well. I have not had any problems YET.

I can personally tell you that Paypal will lock your account for guns or ammo. Maybe accessories are ok.

Best part is they will steal any money left in your account up to $2500!
You'll also be banned from Venmo as they are the same company.

TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT OF PAYPAL.
If you have a zero balance then it wont be so bad if they decide you're bad.

 

[WebSnyper]

Hopefully you did not send it Friends and Family path in Paypal.

Its illegal to ship ammo through the USPS.

Must be a recent thing. I thought so to. I know a dealer that ships USPS. Not all the time though.

We remove our money a minimum of 3x a day from PP.

An ffl dealer can ship firearms through usps, but no ammo, powder, primers and so on. My memory says its been decades now that you cant.

AMMUNITION

Small arms ammunition is categorized as explosive materials by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Ammunition that is designed to be fired from a pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun, as well as associated primers and blank cartridges (including those designed for tools) and propellant powder for use in any firearm, is prohibited from mailing. Under federal law, it is illegal to send these types of ammunition, domestically or internationally, via the U.S. Mail. Small arms ammunition poses a significant danger to Postal employees, equipment, and customers, and you could be subject to civil penalties and criminal charges, if you send them through USPS.

That's what I thought. But they sent it to the buyer through the mail. The package broke open in the back of a Post Office. The inspectors were called. They arrived and delivered it the rest of the way. No questions asked.

I don't keep any money in PayPal. Your experience is probably why the places I deal with for ammo do not accept PayPal.

That customer better buy a lottery ticket because they already won.

 

[DDadams]

Well, I should have phrased it differently. Accessories (like scopes, slings, etc.) are okay, but guns and ammo are not (at least that's my understanding).

Accessories can still get you banned.

I was scammed out of a laser and scope last year and when I tried to file a dispute they closed my account, seized my remaining funds AND hit my bank account with a fine for violating the rules according to their email explanation.

So I ended up out around $2100 for a $850ish package I never even got.

Sounds like criminal business practices to me.

But "you" agreed to the EULA, so "you" accepted them taking "your" money from "you".

 

[planedriver]

Just a thought here. Elon musk formed PayPal about 20 years ago and eBay bought them two years later for $1.4 billion +/-. I wonder if it’s all eBay who is against 2a or is it also musk?

No intent to jack the thread. If this post starts to be a problem feel free to delete or move it.

A bit off topic, but AA Optics is probably the one company that i would trust enough to hand them a few grand in cash, not require a receipt and ask the owner to send me what he thinks I need when he gets around to it.

It is like he is building a business based on honesty, customer service, expert knowledge and quality products. What a concept.

Another off topic, but "Tactical Pew" is now my term for an SBD as I leave the room.
