That's why I always specifically state that this is for AIR guns or PNEUMATIC guns. How do you think, am I going to be banned by PayPal if I pay for a NAIL gun using PayPal at Home Depot? It's also a gun "technically"
. I do not violate any of PayPal policies, paying for airguns and stating so in transaction notes. Agreed. And that's clearly written in acceptable policies. Here's the PayPal policy. Anyone, please show me where transactions involving airguns are prohibited. All this fear about using PayPal and getting banned is overblown and out of control. I never heard of anyone getting banned for buying or selling an airgun via PayPal. If anyone can give any real-life examples of people getting banned, please post them here. Otherwise, I say, PayPal is 100% safe for airguns selling and buying, even with notes saying that you are paying for an airgun.
A nail gun is clearly a tool and PP knows and acknowledges that. The shooting sports, which obviously includes airguns, is their enemy.That's why I always specifically state that this is for AIR guns or PNEUMATIC guns.

Someone earlier in this thread speculated that having "gun" in PP transaction notes word may trigger account ban
. Stores and retailers that sell only airguns, bows, crossbows, etc. happily accept PayPal no problem. PayPal is very specific about what's prohibited, and there are no broad terms in their acceptable use policy like "shooting sports", you can read it here https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/acceptableuse-full. Don't get me wrong, I don't like PayPal at all for their anti-gun stance, which is rather politically motivated IMHO. All I'm saying is that it's safe to trade airguns via PayPal and I don't understand where all this fear of PayPal is coming from. I guess it spills over from firearms community (many of us who shoot airguns own firearms too) and general impression that PayPal is against everything related to shooting, which is not correct. Again, I'll repeat that I have never heard of anyone getting banned on PayPal for paying or receiving payment for airguns. As of today, it's only rumors and fiction in my book until I know about a specific case of this happening to someone.Like all causes, it’s better to unite. In a perfect world, that would work.Someone earlier in this thread speculated that having "gun" in PP transaction notes word may trigger account ban
PayPal is anti gun. If a company takes a stance that clearly seeks to discriminate or infringe upon my rights I won’t use them. There is no “it’s ok because it’s for airguns”. It’s the same as if they said they would not allow you to buy any religious items or maybe a copy of Tom Sawyer or donate to a political party.
I totally agree with you that you shouldn't give your business to a company that discriminates against you or infringes on your rights. My whole point is that using PayPal for buying or selling airguns will not get you banned, and this is something that a lot of folks here are so afraid of. There is no proof nor basis for this irrational fear of getting your PP account restricted or closed at all when it comes to airgun sales and the only reason not to use PP is if you do not like them or don't agree with their social and political stance.
That’s a good question. To me though, their politics speaks volumes. The shooting community should think wisely about supporting them.
If you collect money on goods and services or if you collect friends and family from numerous sources they assume you are selling.
Question: If you put "machine parts" on a goods and services transfer if the item is lost/stolen or damaged in transit do you reimburse the buyer? if you don't how does a buyer dispute when "machine parts" are listed and it was a an airgun?
It’s still machined parts. It’s just that when assembled they become a airgun. The shipping companies know they have crooks and thieves on staff, hence the use of a more accurate tempting description.
