I do a fair bit of shopping on ebay to feed various hobbies. PayPal is required by nearly all ebay sellers nowadays. That's what prompted me to originally open the account. But since then I notice more and more online vendors using the service. It really is quite convenient.

They are anti-gun.
I don't support them.
Why do you?
Any place that takes them will take a Postal Money Order as well.

used to send and receive money using paypal then got screwed out of 825.00 and had to change banks even to stop them taking my money. so no paypal for me
Bosshaug, no I don't use, accept, or condone paypal.
I think its funny that I have sold several (10-15) AR mags, reloading, casting, and optical parts online proclaiming I will only accept postal MO/check and I get die hard gun rights nutsthat are mad when I will not sell to them, simply because they use an anti gun payment company:banghead:
I like money but I like our rightS more, and the last few sales I have made I have sold to folks that offered personal check for less than my asking.
I guess I'm curious if folks realize paypal is anti gun? If they do what do the still use them?

I use them for convenience making purchases on EBay. I set up a separate checking account that is used only with PayPal and that has an amount in it that I can afford to lose.

No sir.
Looks like 50% of the poll supports an openly anti gun company. Good for you guys! And several/most won't even vote.
I wonder why we are fighting for our rights, we choose the easy wrong over the hard right. Silly lazy Americans

No thanks, I don't do business with anti-gun establishments.
Please vote honestly as no one will see the votes.
I posted this to show how lazy the gun community/America can be. It is an openly anti gun corp. And we support them because it's the easy way. It sasy a lot for us and the road we will be headed down.
What happened to the hard right over the easy wrong? I'm all ears if you would like to explain. Who knows maby I'm wrong and need to be educated...

Well I have an account but have not used it for a long, long time due to the companies firearms standings. Agree we are shooting ourselves in the foot buy saying on thing " no compromise!!! " and doing another " being lazy" it's as simple as that as I see it
Sure strikes me as funny that we are all pro gun untill it gets difficult. Sure this is just an example of paypal that has been covered many, many times. I hope your children have a higher moral standard than the rest of ya as they are likely gonna need it if wee keep letting them down.

I have had a Paypal account for a lot if years. I don't use the service anymore, but I do leave some money in the account for emergencies.
As technology advances, I get more and more reclusive. I no longer use eBay anymore either. Buying from Craigslist or Armslist is tendered in cash. Dealing out if state, USPS money order only.
Is it worth the effort to cancel the account? Not while it still serves a purpose.

USAFvet, not to single you out (but I'm gonna) would you consider yourself a supporter of paypal?
And like I stated before I'm willing to be proven wrong as it has happened before
, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean with your money invested in paypal for emergencies.
And like I stated before I'm willing to be proven wrong as it has happened before
, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean with your money invested in paypal for emergencies.Paypal allows certain firearm transactions. I have done several gun related purchases with both ebay and paypal with no issues. As a matter of fact, Kel Tec's offical website accepts paypal, as does Lee Loader Factory Sales, twisted industries and several online cast bullet companies, holster companies, and grip makers.
Paypay knowingly does business with gun makers and bullet makers yet thet are anti guns? I would rather not group them with someone who is out to take my rights away. Some feel they are anti gun because they will not accept ''all" gun related transactions and that is fine if you feel that way. But don't kid yourself into thinking the people that are making the decision, care about the 2a one way or the other. They are not setting in there big offices talking bad about gun owners and what they can do to kill the 2a. All the decisions they are making are based on money. Just like 99% of businesses.
They are indifferent. IMHO, the large corporations that are indifferent are companies we need to support. Show them the power of the gun community to help their bottom line and they will allow more gun related transactions. The more people on our side the better. Don't turn your back on someone who is in the middle, if you do they will go to the other side. Give them reasons to come to this side of the fence
They are not out to stomp on our rights, they are out to make money.
You can actually help the gun community MORE by showing companies like Ebay and Paypal that there is a profit to be made in guns. You can show them this by buying up what they do allow now. The more access we have to guns and related items the better we are as a community. Ebay and Paypal will most deffiantely NOT change their policy if less gun stuff is purchased through them. If we all boycot them all we will do is have less options as a gun buying community. You can be a part of changing their policy. Sometimes, we can be our own worst enemy by pushing away people we think are "anti" when they are really indifferent.

I do not consider myself a Paypal supporter. Not since I discovered they cancelled accounts due to firearms purchases. As I said, I've had the account for close to a decade.
There is money in the account, just sitting there. God knows how long it's been there. I had actually forgotten about it until I got an email from Paypal (which was in fact a phishing scam) which prompted me to change the password. I saw there was a decent sum of money in there from old eBay sales I never transferred to my bank account. I decided to leave it there for just-in-case money. I can always access it if I need it, and as I don't need it, I can let it sit there. It's not supporting them in any way. They already got their fees from it on deposit. Besides, if I transferred it to my bank account, my wife would figure out something she needed to spend it on.

I originally signed up with them for eBay, and I've continued using them for convenience. I also use the USPS even though they don't allow conceal carry in their post offices. I still eat samples and buy products at COSTCO, and I've heard they don't like conceal carry. I hang out with my inlaws even though a few of them think Guns are evil. Where do we draw the line?

Seriously? We've have dozens of threads here mentioning that. If someone doesn't realize that by now, they aren't paying attention.

I use PayPal but only to send money. I don't like paying fees, so I work out other arrangements when I sell something. There are work-arounds for conducting firearm related transactions with PayPal, which I'm sure most people have already discovered.
Tennjed, you are correct sir.
They are not out to take our rights, just limit them or at least what we spend our money on. If your fine with that good on ya, it bugs me a bit that a company decides what I can spend my money on.
ahfo3, you draw the line exactly where you think it should go. USPS=not legal. the other examples you used are your choice unless you let someone else choose for ya.
USAFvet, understood on the wife situation I do something similar just hide it in the safe is all.
Jorg, funny isn't it. A lot of folks still don't know where paypal stands
Sleepy gun, I think you are say to lie about the sale is that correct? I shouldn't have to lie with my own money. And we can argue till the cows come home but it's not ok to lie.
Not trying to argue with you fellas just trying to grasp the concept why we would support a co. That is not support us is all. or only willing to support us where they see fit (IE: keep a good public image).
