Paypal no longer allowing firearms-related transactions
"This comes directly from Paypal, which is owned by ebay, and shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone:
You may not use PayPal to sell any firearm manufactured after 1898. Certain related items and high-capacity ammunition magazines are also prohibited, as described in more detail below. In addition, it is the responsibility of users to abide by all applicable laws when dealing with the sale of permitted antique firearms, ammunition, replicas, militaria and other associated items.
You may not use PayPal to sell or advertise any firearms produced after 1898. This includes all 'pre-ban,' sporting, collectible, and curio and relic (C&R) firearms, regardless of their present capability to fire a shot.
In addition, you may not use PayPal to sell or advertise kits (that can be used to create a firearm) or illegal firearm components such as silencers, converters (which converts a firearm to automatic capability), and short barrels.
You may not use PayPal to sell or advertise high capacity magazines (magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds). In addition, sellers of other ammunition with propellant (such as gunpowder) are responsible for abiding by all laws and postal regulations."
