Have I been under a rock or something? Granted, I haven't used paypal for a number of years but what's the deal?
I just bought an ACOG on EE and sent payment with credit card via paypal. Then about 15 minutes later I get a phone call to "verify my transaction". Well I have no problem with that until they asked what I was buying.[>://
My reply was "I don't see how that's any of your business!"
She said "We have to verify that it's a LEGAL purchase." .....What???
Me: "So your saying a drug purchase is out of the question"
Her: sarcastically "Yes sir, that's the purpose of my call"
Me: "This is ridiculous, I won't bother using you in the future." So the spidey sense kicked in and to avoid any possible problems I chose not to identify it as specifically firearm related so I replied "Fine, it is an airsoft part."
Her: "Oh, okay. Have a nice day"
Me: "Bye"
Since when did they start screening what people are buying? I've seen people list
discreet paypal in EE ads but never knew what they meant, is this what they are referring to? Will paypal not honor any purchase made for gun parts?
Thanks
