You are arguing for a restriction free market and yet you link us to a story that has some governmental regulatory agency getting involved with a private company's decision. I'm not sitting here in defense, per se, of PayPal/eBay but your claim that they are "anti-gun" is unfounded. Can you imagine how much time, money and human resources it takes to monitor every single eBay/PayPal transaction to make sure that each specific firearms transfer is not going over state lines and to make sure that each item isn't being sold to a felon etc? If you want to get pissed at somebody for their firearms policy write a letter to the BATFE and Obama and tell them to de-regulate. I'm sure their rules and regulations are what drove PayPal to adopt these policies in the first place.

No I Linked that to highlight their restrictive and Monopolistic practices.
you pay to sell it and then you Pay AGAIN to get your money. you have no choice.

and as far as your "Civil protection" Argument, That would be like someone suing this site because a gun was sold here.
its not the Sites responsibility to ensure the laws are being followed. I Dont see a badge anywhere here, none of their business enforcing laws or dictating them.

I am a grown fucking adult. If I break a law its not your fault, or the websites fault, or the gun Manufacturers fault or my Moms Fault or anyone's fault for that matter.
Mine. Stop trying to regulate who what where when and how I do anything.
We don't need additional regulation, we need the regulations we have enforced. Corporate bailouts and mergers making companies "too big to fail".
How would you feel if you went to "ABC Burgers" and bought an "abc Meal" for $4.96. you hand me your card and I ring it at $5.00. I then inform you that all credit card and debit card transactions are processed by our "ABC Billing system" which adds %4 processing fee and a $2.00 transaction fee. You then decide to pay with Cash. I tell you Sorry, we only accept payments through our ABC Billing systems.
How soon would you return for your $4.96 Hamburger that costs you $7.20?

and there are a few dozen countries putting the quash on Feebay for Monopolistic practices to include anti-trust and fraud.

So back to your original Question.
I Don't want Feebay for Paypal, I Dont want to pay for selling something and then be forced into using YOUR Shipping company at YOUR Exaggerated rates buying Your Boxes and then PAY again to get my Money from YOUR Payment system.
and I'm sure as fuck not paying someone to "round up" on my bill as a buyer either.

I dont like that they feel they are a government are are authorized to seize peoples money for selling raffle-tickets or a sling.
if they dont have the "manpower" to monitor all of these tansactions as you say, how are the nabbing people for selling a BUIS?
the whole damned thing stinks and I want no part of it.

You got stock or something?
You sure are arguing hard for someone with no vested interest.
just wondering
