Payment system. Not PP...

Wow, was it like a gun knife or something? Thousands of knifes and swords on ebay. I have in the past bought several and paid with PP.
 
Not much else that I know of.
May be relegated to money orders. Which sucks because some won't take them, or don't say they will but do in fact take them. I'm one of those, it's annoying because you wait for the check, then need to cash it usually at a bank and wait for it to clear all before you mail the item.
 
Knives – PayPal generally prohibits transactions for switchblade knives and disguised knives. A switchblade is any knife resembling a pocketknife with a blade that can be released automatically or by use of a trigger. Other names for switchblades include spring-blade knives, snap-blade knives, gravity knives, and butterfly knives.
 
Importantly, did you report the scammer on here?

Bad feedback and to mods.

We have an awesome PX here.

Most of us use the USPS MO.

I use PP for some stuff (kinda fun to screw em buying gun stuff), mostly donating $ to good causes on here.
 
Just talked to them. They went thru my history and saw my brother in law made me 3 payments that he owed me money on. He stated "final payment for m4" guy in phone said in notes I was selling weapons and I sold a m4 carbine. Lol. It was a typo on brother in laws part. I asked how do you know it was a m4 carbine? Response was they assumed. Pretty sure he typed "me" .

Yes. The seller got banned and I nuked him in review section.

And have CC on it.

So who is it??? Link?
 
They also said my Ebay ID was shopping for knives and gun parts. Translated as me looking at knives and trying to find Mags for Desert Tech .338.

I can write the legal department in Santa Cruz. This is all subjective obviously. Lol.

The post office can verify a postal money order on the spot. On e they say it is good, hand them the package to ship. Done.

Were you using F&F for a purchase transaction and then decided you wanted "purchase protection" from PP or your CC?

If so, they may have been shafting you more for cutting them out of their fee than anything else.

When looking for alternatives, you may want to keep in mind:

If the payment system is run by some Elitist, Virtue Signalling, SJW Technocrats, who love Communists/Democrats/Progressives it's probably not going to be a long term solution to paying via PayPal for when PayPal gets shirty..

Yeah. He had me send it ff. But the guy read the notes regarding the decision. It stated nothing about ff.

It's all good, as long as he got ass raped as well. I'm happy. I havent used PP in quite some time anyway and was breaking away from them. So, problem solved.
 
The other problem with eBay and PP for sellers is when there is a dispute, they side with buyers. A buyer can claim that you sent them a brick instead of the product, (while really keeping the product that you sent) and eBay and PP will reverse the payment.

ALL forms of payment, other than cash, can be reversed or cancelled except US Postal money orders. The PO will not cancel them. Bank check and money orders (other than the PO) can be cancelled.

Makes me want to do money orders only now lol.
I sell a lot on here and other sites. I accept USPS and PPFF only. I have accepted goods and services a couple times but I haven’t accepted it in a while. I have lots of feedback here and on AKfiles even considering that less than half of the guys I have sold to actually bother to take the 2minutes to leave feedback. If this isn’t enough for guys to feel comfortable sending me money then i guess we can’t make a deal.

It doesnt always work out for the buyers. I have a friend who got screwed on car parts. I read the ebay posting, and nothing was said about the parts being useless..

Seller told my friend to pound sand, so he went the route of paypal to try and get his money back. They denied saying he got what was listed.

A broken turbo and 4 injectors.. most expensive injectors ever.

Update.

As of November 1st Ebay indefinitely suspended my account for suspicious activity. I never use ebay hardly. Turns out PayPal and Ebay are pretty much the same.

So when PayPal told me they researched my Ebay shopping history. They likely flagged me there as well. Guy told me at PayPal that I was shopping dor knife and fire arm related parts when I asked why my PP was suspended.

Turns out both are headquarters in San Jose, Ca. Coinkydink..
 
Fuck electronic fund transfer companies. Especially PP in particular as they have gone full irreversible libtard. There is something particularly insulting about being told what I can or cannot do with my own funds, and having my transactions/browsing logged by them???

No knives. No guns. No ammo... But I am pretty fucking sure that frozen fetus parts and other abortion products are allowed to be sold through these companies. Fuck them and may hell fall upon them...

I have ONLY used personal checks and paper money orders my whole life during FTF financial transactions. And I have sold many guns and even more services for guns. Everything can be arranged electronically. But when it is payment time, mailing address and envelopes only. I don't do that newfangled cashless thing, or microchips in foreheads, or whatever...
 
That’s just their policy I guess. I can get my money back after 180 days
I have had a balance right at $10,000 at one point. Several grand in there now. It is part of my play money. Looks like I need to keep a smaller balance and request a check every now and again. I wouldn’t even have PP if it weren’t for this site.
