I use the gift option. Way I see it I cost them money to provide a service for free.
I also have a paypal rewards card and get back 1% back on the collected money if i spend it as credit. They provide free services and pay me for using card. worked well so far. I hate to say it but most corporations are anti gun in one way or another. hard to spend money anywhere without supporting views you don't like. My 2 cents. |

I got rid of them years ago after I sold something on Ebay, the guy got it, left positive feedback, and a week later I still didn't have my fucking money.

Because they offer two-factor authentication. Thus, it's safer than using my credit card on small websites...who were probably hacked a month ago and don't know it yet.

Customers want to use it because it's easy for whatever reason. Easier that punching in a credit card directly for many, apparently. |

I might take a perverse pleasure in the fact that 90% of my paypal purchases are gun-related, and ALWAYS as a no-fee gift, so I am not technically supporting them, I am using them as a tool to further my own ends...

It's a great example to use whenever these threads pop up. It's impossible to use the internet without "supporting" some kind of anti gun company.

Who else provides a similar service, with equal protections and services, that's as universally accepted and has a genuine, provable, pro 2A stance?
When something like that exists, WITHOUT "gun", "firearm", "gat" or "boomstick" as part of their business name, I'll switch. My business is not firearm related and I do not want to have to explain or deal with the backlash of using an obviously gun related payment service.

There are many gun related items one can purchase on eBay and other vendor sites using PP.
You can purchase 10 round magazines, holsters, stocks, rails, sights, optics and other accessories without restriction. |

Paypal and ebay (in particular) were requiring me to provide financial information which they had no legitimate need to know in order to conduct the business they purport to be in.
I closed my accounts with both. I can live perfectly well without either one of them. |

No mention of bitcoin yet eh? The protections of paypal are pretty much voided when you have to use the gift option to disguise your firearms transactions.
I wouldn't mind seeing a writeup of the firearms community using some virtual currency if only to state it's because Paypal and other institutions take an aggressive policy stance against firearms owners. (i.e. GD style - their business their rules, we'll do something else) |

Meh, kinda knew that was the sentiment but when you can cash in and cash out (back to your 'real' money) there really isn't much risk, especially compared to getting your Paypal account locked / disabled when you're a seller of other items. I wonder how the firearms industry merchants that have had their accounts frozen and closed by Chase and others with a similar policy feel about it. ETA: quote |
