Yeah, just read the notice myself. Guess I need to find another processor before the next gun show.

Another company goes political on us. :cuss:
 
Yeah PayPal is apparently just like that....snicker...snicker.

Withdraw early and often people, that's the operative rule (is not meant to constitute legal advice).

I am a manager for First Data. The processor of Square, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Paypal, etc.... The reason why that happens is because Square (along with some other merchant services) do not offer PCI compliance. Needed for your protection (as a merchant) from chargebacks and disputes. I give my small gun shops on a similar phone swiper (or terminal of any kind) at a rate of 1.75% (compared to Square's 2.75% and Paypal's ~3.50%) plus my PCI compliance fee of $9.95. A small price to pay to keep a legitimate business going the way it should. And your insurance that we can protect you from illegitimate chargebacks.

What gets me is the hypocrisy.

They can do this and the government stands by...

Yet a small privately owned bakery in Oregon refuses to make a cake for a gay couple, and the state sues them.

Amerika.
