Paypal and Gunbroker?

[nwilliams]

Just curious.

If Paypal is so anti-gun then why does Gunbroker list it as a buyer payment option?

It just surprises me every time I list something for sale on gunbroker when I'm setting up the auction and selecting payment options that buyers can use Paypal is listed as an option.

Here's Paypal's policy according to their website....

Quote:
You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:

1. violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation

2. relate to sales of (a) narcotics, steroids, certain controlled substances or other products that present a risk to consumer safety, (b) drug paraphernalia, (c) items that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity, (d) items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime, (e) items that are considered obscene, (f) items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any jurisdiction, (g) certain sexually oriented materials or services, or (h) ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories, or (i) ,certain weapons or knives regulated under applicable law

Doesn't that include most of what is bought and sold on Gunbroker?

GunBroker sells plenty of nonfirearm items: grips, holsters, gunbelts, scopes, optics, slings,clothing, bayonets, knives, and tons of other stuff that PayPal does not prohibit.

I wish GB would work on getting non firearms out of its firearm listings. I get tired of sorting through hundreds of crappy holsters that someone listed as a gun.
