scamma on guntrader

[angrybear]

i have claimed twice with a black star and a webley tracker, both on freeadds, linked paypal to the item i was scammed on and have been paid back both times. ive never come across a thread where the buyer as not been refunded,

There've been several threads where pay-pal have refused a refund or suspended/cancelled accounts siting that their terms exclude guns, but these seem to be where an actual gun changes hands but there is then a dispute.

Equally when it's a straight forward scam where there is no physical item, they seem to refund the payment,

I wonder if it's the legal knife edge between the "intent to buy" as opposed to actually "buying", if it's a scam you don't technically "purchase" anything so how can it be prohibited

Interesting take... makes sense (I have no clue, just thinking aloud).. straight scam is different from a trade in something outside of the terms and conditions going awry...

There was a member on here who was scammed but Paypal refunded.

I may be completely wrong and some one may correct me .

Sorry I have absolutely no idea what point any of that was supposed to make what was quoted, who by & what was you

ATEOTD Pay-pal is a private company that provides a service, the terms of which you must agree to when you open an account,
As such they can define what is allowed & what is prohibited &/or set whatever terms they want, if you don't like them don't agree & don't open an account.

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

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.
