Outlaw Gambler Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Pale Wolf, I would like for you to tell me exactly what specific guideline I broke when I posted about pay pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I read the post as a 'caution', so others could avoid what Outlaw Gambler was dealing with. Respectfully, OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 To me it read more like a warning for gun people to stay away from PayPal so they don't get their finances put on hold forever. There was though, a reference to Biden that might have been suspect. Paypal is anti gun and we need to know that and remember that so we don't find ourselves in a pickle.

That's the way I took it also. IMO, the thread didn't need to disappear, it needed to be pinned at the top. If I recall correctly, there was a SASS "approved" PayPal warning pinned in the Classifieds at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.N. Double Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It is, and always has been, against PayPal's terms of service to use PayPal for firearms. No need to bash a car for not being a truck. I didn't see the original post, but if the complaint wasn't related to the sale of a firearm, then I'll see myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider this a post where somebody was "bashing a car because it is not a truck" as you say. Not everyone can remember all the fine print of any contractual obligation. I took the OP's post as only trying to be helpful to other cowboy and SASS members here. Nothing more. And I for one, who occasionally still uses Paypal, appreciated the reminder.

Hendo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I took the original post as a cautionary tale. If memory serves, it was about parts for a 97 and not a complete shooter. I didn't see anything in PayPal policy about parts. If memory still is holding, I think you can buy parts on Fleabay, which for the moment still uses PayPal. Do I have that right?

Colonel Kraken Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I screwed up about a year ago buying some used reloading dies. In the notes section of the paypal transaction like a dummy I put the caliber of the dies I was buying and almost got the seller in big trouble. I think they just put a twenty-four hour hold on him and wrote him a nasty note. I felt really bad. So yes a reminder for dummies like me that don't think about the fact that the algorithms they use will pick up stuff like .45 even though you aren't selling or buying a firearm they will flag it.

David Cardin Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 For those looking to transfer money directly and instantly I highly recommend using Venmo. I used this with a pard from the forum to purchase a Ruger Vaquero. He had the payment within seconds while we were on the phone. I’m not affiliated in any way I just think it’s a great service.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I would suggest rewriting it strictly as an "informational post" regarding PayPal's firearm and parts policies (without the political commentary) and reposting it in the Classified's section where it belongs. The relocation from the original location (and back) and subsequent "disappearance" was caused by a program glitch...besides the content not complying with the referenced Wire guidelines.
