The same happened to me a year ago. What I am selling violates some policy of theirs. NOTHING than can be considered a weapon or weapon accessory. They shut me down for a week because of this till I either removed all that applied from my site, that's like everything. or i remove all PayPal logo and signage, then they released my account and money.Quote:

If they refused to allow, for instance, web sites owned by Arabic people or sites that sell Afro hair products, I'm betting the feds would be beating down the PayPal's door to investigate.
Hi Mobil844,
If you want to accept payments for guns and gun-related items there is only one place you will *never* have trouble with - https://www.gpal.net/ - formerly, GunPal.com - they are owned and operated by gun owners.
As far as PayPal, they can do whatever they want with their payment services. They are a liberal company owned by a liberal company and neither of them care for firearms or the associated accessories. It doesn't matter why, it is what it is and there are other payment avenues/rails like GPal who are 101% gun friendly and would LOVE to process your payment for guns, ammo, accessories, etc.
Oh, and you might consider listing your items on gunbroker.com - THEY sell guns... lots of them. I have had great success selling my firearms, and buying some as well, all on gunbroker.
Best of luck to you...
Jim
