Just so you know, Zelle offers you no kind of protection whatsoever. It’s completely up to your bank if anything happens.

Yes, money *may* be at risk. In all likelihood it is gone. I'm good, not worried. Rarely do used transactions and I'm exceedingly cautious. I'd rather risk money than do business with Paypal. That's just me and my principles.

Anyway, can you share a link to the scope ad?

For what it’s worth as long as the money orders haven’t been cashed, I’m pretty sure the buyers can void them.

I pay a metric chit ton of stuff online and with mobile banking/apps. I do understand completely and refuse to use those PayPal clowns. As stated, they are not the only game in town.

Good deal. Over the years, I’ve kinda gotten over all the “I can’t support a company because they don’t support my guns” crap. Too many companies to keep track of and I don’t have time nor do I care to check the list of companies that don’t support 2a rights.

They sometimes are if you want a product and that's the only payment option given. In the knife world there are some high end knives that sell where the only option to pay is PayPal.

Since the user got banned all his posts disappeared, so no.

I'd pass on the product or find another way to get ahold of it. My convictions and will are strong.

It was a Nightforce scope and it wasn’t cheap!

One knife in particular I'm thinking of is a folding knife that costs $700+ new from the maker. When the maker has a knife ready they post on their facebook page a lotto that is open for 30mins to a hour. Usually 600+ people say in for the chance to purchase. You pay with PayPal.

Those knives on the secondary sell for $1800+ and 99% of all knife sales on forums, reddit, facebooks, etc.. are paypal.

I would NEVER buy a new or used high end ANYTHING without seeing the item in person or being able to verify who the seller is. Plain and simple. And for the life of me I cannot understand why any 2A supporter would be using PayPal. PFHUCK those clowns!

<rolling eyes>

Just wondering why you feel like this information is even relevant to you?

We all purchased Nightforce scopes that were either described as new or like new...

Zelle is the way to go

Is selling knives on PayPal permitted? I thought they where in the same category as weapons.

They are but its what everyone uses.

Until they get caught and PayPal locks the account and keeps the money, which they will do. Good luck getting the account back open and money back. Google it, you will see that many people have been screwed over by PayPal. No thank you, it's not a risk I'm willing to take.

The largest knife dealers in the country use PayPal as a option. SMKW the world's largest knife store, BladeHQ, Knifeworks, knifecenter, etc...
