PayPal is a pack of intolerant, left-wing butt holes. In 2011, they persecuted & harassed those they deemed to be anti-gay (read more here: http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/paypal-launches-investigation-of-pro-family-groups-following-homosexual-com/ )
I'd encourage all Christians and freedom-loving conservatives to stop doing business with these bullies. Perhaps there are other companies we can utilize, such as authorize.net?
I’ll be getting this letter soon enough then.
Sorry that the format is so difficult to read.
I stopped using PayPal years ago, when an online scamster portrayed itself as being PayPal and tried unsuccessfully to get me to reveal personal data. I called PayPal to report it, and they acted really nonchalant about it, like they didn’t even care.
I’m running out of companies to boycott.
I’ve used PayPal via Gunbroker before with no problems, as recently as last month.
The problem is when you get stuff like this in email, you don’t know what is true or not.
On the other hand, it does look like PayPal has updated its policy and at least the basics of the email is accurate.

I guess some transactions are falling through the cracks.
Maybe we need to invent a new language of euphemisms for guns, gun parts, and ammo. Kind of like the Monty Python “dog kennels” for “mattresses” skit.

“Perhaps there are other companies we can utilize, such as authorize.net? “
Just use a credit card or use a bank transfer.
Pay Pal is a stupid way to pay for something.
That is oooollld news my FRiend.
Our Republican Women’s Group was considering using PayPal for our next fundraiser to make it easier for people to buy tickets. So I sent your post via email to three people on our Board and the email was rejected by Yahoo. Never had this happen before. Worrisome.
Get used to this, folks!
There is an effort to make us extinct.
Liberals already control education.
They have their fingers in banking.
Soon, your mortgage and insurance companies will ask about guns in the home.....or they will already know via some federal database.

It's been this way for a very long time.
Hell, lets all use paypal to buy crap-tons of ammo and force them cancel thousands of accounts over it.
PayPal is a subsidiary of eBay, which has long had an anti-gun, anti-ammo policy. I think eBay even bans gun accessories.
On the plus side, eBay is not the only online auction site, and PayPal is not the only electronic payment system online.
Check for “PayPal alternatives”.
PayPal and e-Bay are spwans of Satan. Their fees are outrageous and they have no interest in protecting the seller with regards to international sales. I have been ripped off of about $1,250.00 in the last year with international orders “claiming” they never got their items...regardless of the tracking across the U.S. to the plane leaving the U.S.
They can’t track packages once they leave the U.S. so they side with the buyer EVERY SINGLE TIME and screw the seller. I had to stop selling internationally.
They dont take Credit Cards?
I hate paypal so much that I will not do business with any website that uses them exclusively for payments.
I tried them about 10 years ago, and they were so crappy that I never used the account again.
I had a problem with a transaction, the vendor got paid but did not deliver the goods. Paypal’s reaction? “Not our problem, you deal with it.”
Hello? YOU PAID them without getting a shipping confirmation? And that is my problem because...?
Buh Bye!
I suspect that this has less to do with politics and more to do with trying to avoid getting smeared when someone commits a heinous crime with a gun purchased via paypal.
Look at what the media did to craigslist.
