I don't know anything about them, except what I read here,...never did intend to use it either,...in fact, I am always needling my friend who uses it extensively.
After reading that bit here, this morning, I went at him again, Gave him the "GB" site and forem location.
He called me later and said "thanks",...that it was very informative. He said that he just re-read his paypal user agreement, and couldn't find anything about not using funds for firearms.
He wanted to know if its just all talk,...that people know that they are now owned by ebay (who doesn't like guns) and are just putting crap together to come up with a normal erronious belief. he thinks it may just all be crap.
Those of you who use it probably got some straights on it. I'm not gonna bother to dig, 'cause, I don't care. All I know is that whenever I wanna find out a quickie answer, with not too much trouble,...I can post here, for the evangelists to work on.
Yeah, but,..I will admit that I would sure like to get it proven that one can't use the funds,...so as to help give credance to all of my needling this friend. Help me turn him around.

Whats next? A ban on automatic transmissions?
You may not use PayPal to sell any firearm manufactured after 1898. Certain related items and high-capacity ammunition magazines are also prohibited, as described in more detail below. In addition, it is the responsibility of users to abide by all applicable laws when dealing with the sale of permitted antique firearms, ammunition, replicas, militaria and other associated items.
What is not permitted?
Firearms
You may not use PayPal to sell or advertise any firearms produced after 1898. This includes all "pre-ban," sporting, collectible, and curio and relic (C&R) firearms, regardless of their present capability to fire a shot.
Related items
In addition, you may not use PayPal to sell or advertise kits (that can be used to create a firearm) or illegal firearm components such as silencers, converters (which converts a firearm to automatic capability), and short barrels.
Ammunition
You may not use PayPal to sell or advertise high capacity magazines (magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds). In addition, sellers of other ammunition with propellant (such as gunpowder) are responsible for abiding by all laws and postal regulations.
Ordnance
In general, you may not use of PayPal in conjunction with the sale of ordnance (military weaponry, ammunition, and related parts) unless you can provide official documentation from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) stating that the item is unserviceable or demilitarized. Contact your local ATF office for more details on obtaining such documentation. You can also visit the ATF website for general information about firearms laws.
Grenades
You may not use PayPal to sell grenades, including metal military practice grenades, rifle grenades, dummy grenades, grenade launcher attachments, and mines. However, such items will be permitted if they are a relic, curio, memorabilia, or display item that is filled with a permanent inert substance or that is otherwise permanently altered in a manner that prevents ready modification for use as a grenade.
Replicas without proper markings
You may use PayPal to sell firearm replicas, look-alikes and imitations as long as they comply with Federal and state laws that require such items to have clear markings permanently affixed to the weapon. The most common requirement is a blaze orange plug inserted in the barrel of the item. This law applies even to novelty items, such as cigarette lighters, that are designed to look like firearms.

I am now perfectly satisfied, especially with Allen's post,...very satisfied.
As far as I'm concerned, this post can go "poof",....it served its purpose,...done, good deal, out.
