Your personal feelings about paypal aside, they are a company that is openly against firearm owners. It would be good of you to think of that, considering who your product targets. I'll be ordering during the week of the sale, but I damn sure will not use paypal.

It's not a personal feeling it's a business choice. However, given your strong convictions it would make it hard to ship it to you since I use the US Postal service which is a branch of the largest, strongest anti-firearm, anti-firearm owners' agency in the country. I could UPS it but that would be three times the cost. And, then you probably can't pay by check or money order because that would require you to use the above mentioned anti-gun postal service to send it, unless you want to send it with FedEx or UPS, but that's against government regulations in order to protect the USPS monopoly.
And, given your strong convictions you probably don't even have a bank account since it would be against your principles to pay federal income taxes which support the strongest anti-firearm, anti-firearm owners' agency in the country.
Givemeabreak. If Gunpal can capitalize on Paypal's name and success then I can capitalize on the fact that Paypal makes it easy to accept payments without, unlike Gunpal, turning over my federal id numbers. And, until they do so I will keep on using them. I'm up in the air about Gunpal's policies at the moment. Paypal is not openly against firearms, they made the decision to not (knowingly) process payments for firearms transactions. If they were against firearms I wouldn't be doing the kind of business I do with them.
I've only had a couple of people complain about Paypal. One was using a (very antigun) AOL email address which blocks emails from shooterready so I couldn't respond. Another one who called was a government employee who was in a hurry to go pick up his kids from a government indoctrination babysitting school. That one cracked me up. Then there was the military guy who works for the above mentioned anti-firearms agency and is not allowed to have a firearm on his person while off duty.
If you are going to have a conviction go all the way, baby. Make some REAL sacrifices.
With that said I'm going over and out here. Too much work to do. Thanks for the positive input from the few and the help with working out some of the bugs on the website.
