PayPal limited/banned

I think that they are tracking the connections for "Friends and Family" and once one person in that gets flagged anyone else they have connected with they are scrutinizing all of those connections, especially anyone as a recent connection. Surprised they have not started asking you to prove how you are related to people you connect with for payments yet. Their anti-2A feelers seem to continue to weed out additional people. I do use PP for a couple of things, but I tie them to a separate account at my bank and do not allow them access to my main account or keep anymore money in there than necessary and willing to lose. Kind of like going to the casino, only take in your pocket what you are willing to lose.

Anyone ever experienced a limited account or a ban?

I attempt to purchase ammo from a member and now my account is flagged/limited. Email stated that i had mad “multiple questionable purchases” per PayPal.

PayPal is very anti gun I don’t use it for this reason. Don’t contribute to businesses that go against your way of life.

Discover card, years ago, called me to ask why I was charging firearms and gun training related purchases. I said I am a competitive shooter and hunter. They asked me if it was going to continue and I said "Yes".

They canceled my card for "business reasons". Their loss, I was charging in 5 figures each month and paying it off. Now, Chase is making the money from the merchants and their points program is even better.

Have the Chase Freedom and Sapphire. The points and travel perks are well worth it if you pay balance off every month!

So again, how are these sellers/buyers on GB or other sites requesting (or demanding) payment via PayPal? One seller on GB had some good ammo deals, but basically stated he only accepted payment via PayPal, and if you didn’t want to pay that way, don’t buy from him. Stupidity or a scam?

Well, GB won't let a seller post PP for firearms, ammunition sales
