PayPal are a bank. They should not be allowed to play politics.
Same way Eb8y are a sales outlet. They should not be allowed to ban legal goods from sale.
We are "lucky" the now private Royal Mail still ship air guns

Paypal are not a bank, they are merely a payment and receipt service, for which you pay, through the nose I might add.

E8ay and Paypal are private companies and if they do not like air rifles they can choose to have nothing to do with them.

Using your logic Tescos should be made to sell air guns as airguns are legal and Tescos is a sales outlet....

LOL I wasnt trying to state the law, just proffering my opinion, that if you open up as an auction house (not a shop) you should not be able to ban legal goods.

Even as an escrow service PayPal should not IN MY OPINION ban payment for legal goods that dont require a certificate or prescription to own.

If you sell rifles as an auction you do have to be registered as an RFD you know....

So could be in the poo as we have all seen air rifles being sold without being taken off and I even reported a deactivated shotgun being sold which they did nothing about.

anyone fancy reporting them.......

'Opinions' on this subject are ten a penny. Companies can and do restrict the uses to which their service may be used and that can most definitely cover 'legal' matters with certain important exceptions such as racism, sexism etc.
Not wanting to stray too far on this, paypal as a business intrigues me. It is true that its terms and conditions exclude shooting related matters- as does its former owner the auction site that dare not speak its name. And yet shooting related items are freely offered on there for auction and buy it now. In addition paypal is an approved (almost a 'compulsory' certainly a 'default') method of payment for these items. Also paypal is used regularly by businesses that are quite clearly shooting related and who make no effort at all to disguise the true nature of their trade. Are they completely mad??
I'm genuinely confused here. Does anyone on here have PERSONAL experience of account closure? By personal I mean to THEM not to a mate or as a result of a story. I'd really like to know.

And to complete the points Mr mole has already put you right on;

Royal Mail did attempt to ban airguns, back in 2005 ish, while still a public company, the ombudsman at the time blocked them from doing so because they were, & still are, the only postal carrier that can legally carry them.

I quoted PayPal's firearms policy.i then quoted BASC Are airguns firearms quote.

Yes it could have been posted clearer , hence I deleted it.

PayPal is a worldwide company is is facebook. They have banned the use of using their platforms for firearms WORLDWIDE rather than different rules for different countries. That was the reason I got from facebook when I queried why they did not allow public users to sell airguns om their pages even though its legal to do in the UK.
