Due to their Anti-Gun policies, PayPal has closed our account and will no longer allow us to receive payment via PayPal. We appologize to those this affects.

We still accept payment via Credit Card, Money Order, or Cashier's Check.

PayPal sucks in every which way. I no longer use them either.

Geez,

they are Lame.

That really sucks!!!!! Except for hi-cap mags, anything you sell could be a legal item on Ebay which they allow you to sell/purchase. I guess it is the hi-cap mags, or what is their reasoning?

**Old School** · 01-16-2006, 08:39 AM

They stated the reason was "gun parts". I am sure the "hi-caps" did it, however they were very vague in their reason. In the end, they said the decision was theirs and they don't need to offer specifics.

What chaps me is that they are holding our account balance for 180 days.

wow, guess I shouldn't tell them I've bought several guns and many a part using their service.

I just closed my account. When you do so they ask you why and I told them there policy with regard to firearm and firearms related product was unacceptable. Probably won't make any difference but maybe if enough of us do close our accounts it will.

Just closed mine as well.

In the comment line to Paypal:
"You just shut down a business because of your political views on firearms. It shows ignorance and immaturity on your part. No one handling my hard earned money will have either of those qualities."

I know they didn't really shut you down OldSchool, but it made it more effective

I clicked on the bubbles "Privacy/Security Reasons" and "Bad Customer Service" and "Policies" as reasons for closing.
