Thanks for bumping this back up. Personally I would like to see it pasted into the EE rules. Other (non firearms related) forums I buy/sell on generally specify this in the rules.

I have a question, so that I don't get banned. Can I say in my FS post "send payment as paypal gift or you cover the fees"? Is that permitted or is that asking for a ban?

I was unclear?

Isn't it against paypal rules to have the buyer cover the fees?

I believe you are correct.

Why don't people understand the 'No gift' statement? If this was my forum, I would ban all PayPal. Forum may be headed that direction anyways since people can't quite seem to grasp a simple command.

Stop being impacient twats.

I understand a lot of guys actually use PP, but if I ever sell something and the funds go through there, I transfer them to my bank, so it takes a few days for me to actually have access to them anyway. Overall, I wish there was a service like PP, but one that I felt safe using for firearms instead. I know that there have been some attempts, but nothing has really taken off yet.

I know of PistolPay but I've never used it myself.

Thanks for the spelling correction. Yes, Impatient.

Keep funding, not to mention give access to your bank account, to an Anti-2A money changer.

Sell it local then, face to face. Oh wait, that could possibly take longer. Impatient.
