So, I vowed never again to use PayPal. It was confusing to find that, over the years, PayPal was being used for many gunnie transactions. I passed on a couple of deals; the vendors said "PayPal only" and would not accept a credit card or a certified check as an alternative. <br /><br />eBay has many times gone "anti gun", yet many gunnies still support eBay. I won't even browse eBay. <br /><br />Everyone is entitled to do whatever they want, but since the word went out years ago that PayPal and eBay were anti-gun I have not supported PayPal or eBay. Should PayPal present evidence that this recent episode was some sort of mistake, I still will not use them.Z@Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993343918438930816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-40437509651974497712009-08-07T08:39:30.884-04:002009-08-07T08:39:30.884-04:00"...blog community is small potatoes - too sm..."...blog community is small potatoes - too small to even bother ..."<br /><br />Yeah, no.<br /><br />Just ask Dan Rather.doubletroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378163493817522427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-46977966299392420822009-08-07T08:37:29.801-04:002009-08-07T08:37:29.801-04:00Good luck getting them to respond to ANYTHING.

Paypal and Ebay are the turtles of the internet, when it comes to trouble. <br /><br />Paypal is so hard-line anti gun that they pulled the plug on an entire charity because of one small subsidiary having a gun raffle to raise funds. I used to sell quite a bit of stuff via ebay, but do so no longer.Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516484024226270103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-50132816096893258352009-08-07T07:24:28.884-04:002009-08-07T07:24:28.884-04:00Both E-bay and PayPal have policies of not answeri...Both E-bay and PayPal have policies of not answering queries. On the rare occasions they do respond, it's with form letters approved by their legal beagles. On very, very rare occasions you will get a human.<br /><br />I suspect their record of being sued for malfeasance has something to do with that. PayPal itself is on very shaky legal grounds, as it presents itself as a bank, which it's not. It's 'customers' have none of the legal protections of a traditional banking relationship, as thousands of folks have learned the hard way.<br /><br />Given that... is it any surprise they won't talk about the things they do?Carteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468700184940877315noreply@blogger.com
