The best thing to do is...DO NOT SHIP ANY MERCHANDISE UNTIL THE CHECK CLEARS.

Next time take money order or PayPal.

Money orders are counterfeited all the time. Take only a USPS money order and cash it before sending goods. Or PayPal, although they don't like gun related items to be paid for through their site.

I agree on the USPS only! I only accept those when selling via mail. As for pay pal they will shut down your account if they find out it is gun related. I have used it but very little and no word of a gun related product. Also gift the money and you will not get tagged for there fee.

I would only take what you want to take and don't do business with those that won't.

I either take USPS Money order, Paypal (which they can use their visa or debit for now) or personal check...wait for it to clear before shipping.

I have bought three guns new from Dealers with my Paypal Debt card. Good anywhere Mastercard is! So there is a limit to Paypals ability to limit what you can buy with their services.

A USPS MO or cash are the only true safe methods of payment. Payalot Pal can reverse payment if the payer files a complaint or he reverses payment made with a credit card. If you take a check wait until it clears your account.

PLEASE post the names of the bad check writers so no one else is ripped off.

Read pay pals terms, certain fire arm related items well get your account locked. It can take months to get your money from them. Not a problem for the buyer but the seller can get a royal screwing. You have to be discrete with the descriptions of the item sold.

As others have said, USPS Money Order, personal checks need to clear, and cash. I have used Paypal for buying and selling...and request discreet / "no gun related terms".

If I am buying something, I send payment with USPS MO and generally send it Priority with signature required (depending on value) to have a confirmation it was received and not "lost". And when sending items out, UPS or Priority mail with tracking and confirmation.

Look at the Gun Broker sites.They all say "10 day hold on all personal checks"

I used a Paypal Debt card the name on the receipt was WILD BILLS GUNS I seriously doubt it would have been a challenge to figure out what I bought with 350.00 to 750.00 debts.

You can use a Paypal money transfer to purchase firearms and some firearm related items. But you can use a Paypal Debt Card to buy Firearms and Firearm realted items. They can't stop you since they are connected to Mastercard. And it states right on the card GOOD ANYWHERE MASTERCARD IS ACCEPTED

The money never goes into a sellers paypal account. In fact the seller doesn't even have to have a paypal account. I have also used it at Midway and a number of other online dealers to buy reloading equipment and supplies.
