Selling Options - not firearms or ammo - other than PayPal?

[gc2a]

I am interested in selling some accessories (no ammo or firearms) and do not want to use PayPal.

My concern with using them is that they will cancel an account if they think there is anything firearms related.

Before everyone says don't mention firearms, I have another (expensive) hobby that involves buying & selling predominately online and the major sites where I do this require you to use PayPal exclusively. I do not want to screw this other hobby up because of PayPal's stupid rules.

So, what are the options that you fine folks use to buy & sell on the forum that are not PayPal and still provide a good experience/protection for the buyer & seller (other than cash face-to-face)?

Thanks!

If you have a company selling stuff, a QuickBooks subscription has credit card invoicing.

Zelle is a good option. Links directly to your account. Funds are instant or nearly instant. Will not provide any protection for the buyer however and some people prefer to not send money to a seller they don't know.

You can also sell firearm and non firearm related items here. There are forums for both. Local is always a good option for both the seller and the buyer.

It seems the payment industry hates guns.

If you can't risk it, don't do it. A few $$ here and there isn't worth whatever your other hobby is assuming that other hobby is turning some profit.

But for the sake of answering your question, Zelle or Venmo is fine. People who have been doing this for awhile understands not to mention anything "firearms".

Yes, this is by design. Regulators can put pressure on payment companies that explicitly allow guns. The only real way for them to get out from under regulator scrutiny is to comply with their unofficial list of "problematic transactions". How the company proceeds after that (e.g. if they just ignore people using the service for problematic transactions or if they militantly crack down on anything that they even suspect as being related to those transactions) is a matter of corporate culture. Vemo has historically been pretty lax, PayPal is pretty militant in enforcement.

But at the end of the day the government and big government aligned businesses will do whatever they can to make firearms and firearms related transactions as difficult as possible. A well armed population is an anathema to their machinations.
