PayPal Firearms, Ammunition, Replicas, and Militaria Policy

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.


What is permitted?

You may use PayPal to sell antique firearms (before 1898) and most legal firearm components. This includes firearm related accessories, such as holsters, scopes, and ammunition without propellant.

Blank guns, replica or imitation guns, paintball guns, and "airsoft" guns may be listed provided that:
The item does not, and cannot be readily altered to, shoot a lethal projectile


The receiver is not a firearm as classified by law. See U.S. Code Title 18, Section 921


The replica or imitation gun has the legal markings required by law AND blank ammunition is not included in the sale. See U.S. Code Title 15, Section 5001 Even if the above conditions are met, PayPal does not permit the advertisement or sale of antique firearms or legal firearm components products on websites listed in PayPal Shops.

    like it matters, nobody will know what you're sending the money for, when you send money it gives you a drop down menu of what you are using the money for, you could put anything, its none of their business. The options are like, ebay items, nonebay auction items, services, or other, or something along those lines. They just put that up their to keep their * safe and they have no liability for illegal actions, ya know?

    Saw a person at Lowes the other day with one of those PayPal credit cards. He tried to use it and it was denied. He pulled out another CC and paid for his purchases, and as he was walking away he was tearing up the worthless PayPal CC and muttering how worthless it was.

    E-Bay and PayPal say they are "headquartered in California" and therefore obey the law as it pertains to those in that state. Given this, I think they should NOT be allowed to operate any of their businesses in any other State! Too Bad Little people "accidently" acquired the wealth and resulting power from a Dot Com world gone awry! With this power, they now are acting out and inflicting their prejudices and ignorances onto those who don't know better.

    Time for the Masses to Boycott those that Deny us our Rights! That includes ALL companys that force their own illegal and immoral "Policies" upon us! Take a look at the amount of total bids going on Ebay......nothing like it used to be. Why not quit using them? They sell little or nothing of the items I really want or use........!

    They are NOT invulnerable to a Boycott.......and I believe it will come!

    There is a special secret to tearing up a CC. Send me only $9.95 in 20 monthly installments and you to will learn this secret known only to a select few people. Be the first one on your block to know the secret, once you learn the secret you too can earn thousands, in your spare time, teaching others this highly valuable secret.
