YOU ARE BLOCKING A LOT OF OTHER PPL FROM BIDDING BY STATING ONLY PPL WIHT PAY PAL ACCOUNTS CAN BID....
The fact they are anti gun is why a lot of ppl wont use pay pal ...and therefore you have blocked all them from bidding on your stuff....
(plus, swb fried my telephone and they refuse to admit they did anything wrong)
fine, if the owners are anti-gun let them do what they want with the money they make and on their own time, but if they want to politicize their business it's a two way street.
by the way, did you know that it's written in your service contract with sbc, that they're only liable for damage to your phone equipment 30 days after they hook up the service? they hook up your phone, and if it gets zapped, they say it's not their fault because it hasn't been 30 days yet, therefore they couldn't have zapped it.
sbc can go to hell.
so can geico. I asked for a quote on a new vehicle, and they ended up sending a letter that I was supposed to get my neighbors to fill out verifying where I live. dropped them in 2 seconds flat.
The point I was trying to make with you and you seem to be totally ignoring it was...

BlackRoses, I didn't ignore your statement---I responded on the other thread; but, I'll repost it here.
It does matter, to me, who or whom I've stopped from bidding on my item that are legit. Unfortunately, I've had winning bidders on eBay that did not pay. Evidently, you haven't. If there are precautions I can take to minimize this from happening, I'll take them. Same as any seller would on GB. You can maintain a PayPal account and never use it. It does matter to me that at the end of my auction---I get paid by the winning bidder and the odds are, somewhat, better of being paid, if the winning bidder has a PayPal account.
and we took money orders, check and even cash if you wanted to send it that way....but we sure didnt block anyone bidding on anything just because they didnt want to use money orders (just using money orders instead of pay pal)
Everyone was able to bid on anything we listed, not just those who paid cash or checks...
Sometimes because of locale a person has no choice but to use some of the anti gun companies you have listed (are they anti gun or just the CEO and/or owner etc) but you have the choice of not using pay pal as there are other avenues open to you...cash, money orders, checks etc..
In addition to requiring only PayPal customers for bidding, I just found out it is more secure (to those who wish to take the extra step)...to structure your seller's account to allow only PayPal customers that have a verified address.
It will eliminate a lot of hassles from those playing head-games. I'm not one to get an ulcer over this...True, it will prevent some bidders from doing business. So what. To me E-bay is nothing more than an electronic yard-sale. Joe

Paypal will let you use their service for firearms if you set up by their rules. No big deal to me and it is convenient.
I see and hear a lot of people boycotting for trivial stuff and disliking that person or this person for their beliefs. Whatever.
PayPal account was an easy step.
I just allowed payment for an item over the internet with the buyer useing paypal today.

Hmm

Is this a difference with PayPal outside of the United States?
I recall reading their rules, and the rules stated that virtually nothing related to firearms was to be paid for with the service. This was a few years ago, have things changed?
What did you have to do to "set up by their rules" and be able to use their service for firearms and related items? Can you provide a link to PayPal's Terms of Service/Rules showing this "set up" procedure to allow firearm/accessories to be paid for with the service?
They just want to know that everything is done legally with their service.
Here is a little info on the bottom of this link.

I guess since I am against hillary for president I should have told her I no longer would use her mail service and boycott her?
Nope this is still America and she has every right to be stupid, but I still want my USPS mail delivered.
