    I did not know this about ######. Anecdotally I have been using them for years, and have not had any issues when paying for the occasional firearm. Looks like I need to do some research.

    I had always wondered why the EE was mostly "EMT only" when ###### is the norm on sites like Ebay. Especially because it allows you to use a CC when buying from a private individual. It makes sense now that I know the "no firearms" thing

    That's a good point. I've bought speedloaders and a holster on Ebay using ######.

    I would love to use ###### just based on the fact you have some consumer protections if you get scammed, but they are just like facebook, a policy involving "no fun whatsoever".
    Just some random gun toting weeb in Alberta.

    Not worth the hassle of chargeback scams though

    ^This

    I had a talk with American Express about this and their anti fraud protection still applies if you are using the card to fund a purchase through ######. I would use ###### for all online purchases where a CC is not accepted if I could. I've never had a bad experience on the EE but sending off a non-recoverable EMT always makes me feel a little uneasy.

    If you are under the impression that you can use ###### to buy firearms you need to read the usage agreement.
    Follow through isn't just a shooting fundamental, it's a life skill.

    Most Ebay transactions through ###### are usually just marked "Ebay Transaction" or something like that...

    Likely how people get away with it.

    Yep, kinda like buying your drugs from the guy on the corner - everything is fine until you get caught
