    I was looking through the free adds and saw a air pistol for sale it was in London it was a lp 53 I contacted the seller and asked was it still for sale as it had been on the free adds a while he told me that it was and if I wanted it to transfer the money as pay pal gift other wise they would stop the money from getting through I did what he told me the money stayed on my account he did not take it a few days later I stoped the money contacted him again done what he said again couple of days later I stopped it again he never contacted me again I was very suspicious I think I had a very lucky escape mike

    thanks.
    what gets me why did he set up is personal paypal on free adds,when he could have asked for paypal gift or bank transfer with no protection at all.

    In theory you hav'nt got any protecttion with Paypal as its classed as a firearm which Paypal don't cover, He's only got to tell them it was a gun and your not going to get your money back.

    What he says is correct though . Paypal prohibit firearms sale (and in the uk an airgun is a firearm ) in their terms and conditions which you and the seller have broken . They are within their rights to say no to them refunding you .

    I posted their terms at the start of this post . It's your choice to ignore their terms and its their choice to pay you a refund .

    Harsh but thats their terms .
