Default anything other than paypal out there?

is there anything out there besides paypal that most places will take? Just looked at ordering a few 10rd magazines and got this message next to the paypal button.
Your Shopping Cart contains an item (or items) that PayPal does not want to be associated with (examples are ammo, magazines, Gen 3 (4) Night Vision, gun parts) and therefore PayPal option is disabled. If you must checkout through PayPal – you will need to remove these items (SNW-19924) from your shopping cart. Alternatively – click on Proceed to Checkout to checkout via our secure website.
Funny as I have bought 10 items in the past week all through paypal that are on that list. But if this is what they are now doing then I am done with paypal.
Anyone have any issues with paypal and purchasing ammo and gun parts online recently?

Thanks

Yep CA based co doesn't want to be used for firearms. Well you can buy a knife or tomahawk with PP. You can purchase some add on items also I guess making money offsets some of their policies. CC works and if you get the shaft you can protest a transaction. Square is another anti firearm business or so I've read.

Funny, I just ordered a Magpul 10 Round magazine (5.56) this past week. I also ordered a set of KNS non-rotating pins yesterday.

Interesting....

P.S.

I did purchase the merchandise through eBay.

Yeah me too, I bought 4 mags locally with my paypal cc and bought 1000 rds online with paypal cc and those went through. But checked their policy online and it shows the same as the message on the site I tried to order 10rd magazines from. So maybe they just wont support a dispute with ammo or magazines.

It's the ammo. PayPal doesn't allow its service to be used for the purchase or sale of complete firearms or ammunition. Everything else (parts, mags, etc.) should be good to go, though.

Pick up a reloadable credit card for online transactions. (ie: NetSpend or similar) They work on all sites. It won't be tied to you or your bank account, so from a personal security standpoint you won't ever have to worry about being hacked, and they are apolitical.
