how long to wait for airgun in post

[bighit]

I waited a week for a 48 hr delivery as it had to go to coventry then back up here even though it came from Inverness

Airguns are classed as firearms

We don’t allow PayPal members to buy or sell any kind of firearm, whether it’s in working order or not. The same goes for certain firearm parts and ammunition.

For example, using PayPal, you can’t buy or sell:

Any firearm, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, whether they’re for sport and recreation, collectibles, or curio or relic firearms.
Firearm parts, including but not limited to receivers and frames, silencers, and kits designed to modify guns so that they fire automatically. High capacity magazines, multi-burst trigger activators, and camouflaging firearm containers are other items in this category.
Ammunition, including propellants like gunpowder or blank ammunition; ammunition or cartridge cases; and primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for any firearm.
Stun gun sales are allowed for U.S. residents, but only if the transaction is permitted by law in both the buyer's and seller's jurisdictions. (PayPal account holders outside the U.S. can’t buy or sell stun guns.) Before they complete a sale, U.S. sellers must make sure that the transaction is legal in both locations.

Related items that you can buy and sell using PayPal include paintball guns, blank guns, and air-soft guns, as long as such transactions are legal in the applicable jurisdiction. All of these items must display the markings required by law, must not be convertible to shoot a lethal projectile, and can’t include blank ammunition.

If you paid by Paypal gift then your on to a loser straight away . hence why its not allowed to be asked for on sales on here yet people still ask for it in the sales section on here


Paypal as a 'gift'. A number of members who have sent funds via Paypal as a 'gift' have found that if the goods are not as described, faulty, damaged in transit, or do not arrive, Paypal will not refund their money if the 'seller' refuses to make good. Because of this, the mods have taken the decision to prohibit sellers asking in their advertisements for payment via Paypal as a gift.

Paypal. Please note that Paypal prohibit their service from being used for transactions involving airguns.

As it has been a week and you have not even had a response to your messages I would begin to think it is a scam. Once you have waited what you consider to be a reasonable time then maybe contact PP.

If they (seller) are not responding to you then they may not respond to PayPal either.

I would say to PP that you ordered some sports equipment from whoever, it has not been delivered and you cannot get a response from them so you want a chargeback.

I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU LIE. If PP ASK what the sporting goods are then tell the truth without hesitation and put it down to experience.

It is a long shot I know but what have you got to lose?

It took almost 10 days for something bought from a member on here, to arrive by PF 48, due to a combination of the recent snow and a broken conveyor at the PF north essex depot. Even their tracking became 'frozen'. Mind you, I was in contact with the seller, so I knew the delay was nothing to do with him.

This situation is always a worry though when dealing with a private transaction for an air gun and/or using PayPal. Do hope you get a positive outcome, so please advise the result.

Good luck!

will do,
ive just messaged him again asking for a refund, probably get no response,

If you put in a claim to PayPal then your 'airgun' could be described as an 'airsoft gun' perhaps?

Where is the seller based? Could it be the Grahams at it again ?

Inform the police as it may be classed as fraud

Who is that ?

Do you have his address? If so, is it worth a trip balancing fuel costs, etc. against what you paid for it? Have you contacted the police as it is perhaps fraud?

Good luck, anyway.
