    Now, before calling someone an idiot, it would seem wise to reflect on who it is who has paid a Nigerian member of the Flat Earth Society for a firearm using PayPal, which is against their company policy.

    But if the buyer hasn't received the item then it isn't actually a firearm. It isn't actually an anything because he never actually had it.

    We don't even know if it even existed in the first place (which it probably didn't since it appears to be a scam).

    The OP handed over funds for an item that wasn't supplied. If it wasn't supplied then what does it actually matter what it was?

    Just sayin'.

    True, it only matters what the payment was for if PayPal look into the original intention of the payment, in which case they could wash their hands of it.


    In the meantime we'll just have to wait and see.

    An interesting line of reasoning DJP. Are you a lawyer?

    But the item was advertised as a firearm and the intention was to buy a firearm so it does matter

    Yebbut, do PooPal's conditions apply to intentions or actual things?

    If the latter, and there is no tangible property (ie no actual firearm) then their conditions are irrelevant.

    I would suggest.

    As far as Paypal is concerned the transaction is complete. Their duty was to send a monies for an advert for an item which goes against the terms of how their service is to be used (transferring money). It could be for thin air, doesn't matter its use of the service not the end result.
