Finally!!! Bye bye Paypal say hello to

The fees appear to be about the same, 2.9% vs 2.8%. That amounts to a 10 cent difference for a $100 transaction - not much difference there. And I'm not sure what you mean by knife friendly? I've never had an issue using PayPal for a knife transaction. In my opinion, one of the most important concerns with such services are customer service when something goes wrong. I've had surprisingly good luck with PayPal in the past (knock on wood). I'd be curious to know the track record of Gunpal in resolving issues.
 
Never hada prob w/p-apl either excellent service for buyer and seller no complaints here,jmo
 
PP is VERY anti gun...they will lock your account and seize your funds if they dont like what you are buying or selling. I also use PP right now for knife transactions, but I am PRO 2nd AMendment...and would very much like to support a company that is also pro 2nd Amd.
I will have to check this out. Thanks for the heads up.
 
I mean gunpal doesn't care if you buy sell a gun, switchblade etc. Paypal has all sorts of taboo in that regards, not to mention all the nasty crap they've done to people.Ya honestly, I will still continue use Paypal some for now,but when Gunpal is very widespread, I will use it more and more.I'm trying to give a heads up to people on a more weapon friendly pay service alternative, I mean for people that are sick and tired of Paypal dictating what you should be able to buy and sell.

I offer PayPal and also Google Checkout on my site for customers and everyone always uses PayPal and I never have any issues. knives, weapons and all sorts of tactical gear sold with no issues.
 
here's just a few things they don't let you buy for your own good,lol

PayPal prohibits transactions for certain hand weapons or knives that may be illegal or restricted in some jurisdictions.

Weapons – PayPal generally prohibits transactions for these types of weapons:
Nunchaku.
Brass or other metal knuckles.
Leaded canes, staffs, crutches, or sticks.
Zip guns, shurikens or throwing stars.
Hand grenades or metal replica hand grenades.
Billyclubs or batons, sandclubs, sandbags, or slungshots (also known as saps or blackjacks).
For other hand weapons, sellers must ensure the weapon is lawful in both the buyer's and seller's jurisdiction before completing the sale.

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.

A disguised knife is a knife designed to look like a harmless item. Examples of disguised knives include belt buckle knives, cane swords, shobi-zue, lipstick case knives, air gauge knives, and writing pen knives.

Other Related Items – PayPal prohibits transactions for destructive devices and the sale of military equipment or supplies that violate laws or regulations in the buyer's or seller's jurisdiction.

PayPal doesn't do this to mess with anyone's rights, they do it to protect themselves. The stuff they don't want you using PP for are things that have Federal and state specific prohibitions against them and things that have mailing restrictions.

All have certain states where it is illegal to ship them to. Pretty much confirmed as the reason by the bold sentence. Autos can't be shipped over state lines between individuals period. Grenades and destructive devices should be self explanatory.

They do it to distance themselves from legal problems that could arise due to a buyer or seller using their system to do something illegal. Sure they could probably trust everyone to look up the laws on their own and follow them accordingly and hope that a gun doesn't accidentally get sold to a 12 year old who's parents then sue them for millions for not attempting to impose rules, but it's probably easier for them to just say no. As such, they are a private company and have every right to set their own rules whether they're doing it for legal reasons or simply because they feel like it. They could ban the sell of everything blue if they felt the urge, and as is their right.

Yah, I've been using PP since they first started (back when they were paying you to join), and haven't had any troubles at all. My physical bank on the other hand gives me nothing but headaches and would've been ditched long ago if not for the need of a physical bank account and the cute teller.
 
thanks for your explanation,I can see your points validity,but personally I don't understand how Payal would be in anymore of a legal issue then a credit card company would be for the same type of purchases,imo

One of the dumbest things with eBay/PayPal is that they don't let you sell ANYTHING that has ivory on it. You can't even sell a knife with Mammoth Ivory. No pre-ban, nothing, period.

How much of the ivory being sold as pre-ban do you believe is actually pre-ban? That's something that is too hard to verify without going through all the documentation, that's why they choose to ban it altogether.

Because PP bases their rules around the ideal that everything bought through it is being shipped somewhere. It's an internet based company. They also ban the sale of porn, human body parts and other stuff based on shipping restrictions. Nothing may come of it, but they're a huge company considering they're part of eBay (which owns a buttload of stuff), and likely just covering their own butts.

it has never occurred to me to check, but is paypal a california based organization?

the language above is almost verbatim from the ca penal code regarding prohibited items.
