I have to ask you where you come up with your info. GunPal, Inc., is NOT incorporated in California, at least according to the Secretary of State's Business Portal entity search a few minutes ago
http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/cbs.aspx
Searching corporate records ...
"GunPal"
Record not found
"PayPal"
Results of search for " PAYPAL " returned 3 entity records.
I'm curious to know where GunPal, Inc. IS incorporated if they're legit.
And the harsh reality of the cute picture is that ALL CONSUMERS are contributing to those fees to the card issuers, whether they pay by either cash or credit, even if they don't realize it. Merchants rarely dichotomize sale prices - cash or credit.

You are certainly entitled to support and defend whatever businesses you choose. I make every attempt to avoid those blatantly anti.
My bank does not charge ATM fees or fees to write checks. My CC company credits 1.5 percent of my purchases (and, no I don't pay interest).
Yes, I'm certain a part of every dollar finds its way into the same coffers, but by avoiding companies such as gaypal and egay, I can at least minimize the amount.
I've seen the word "convenient" used to describe Paypal. Sometimes, fighting the good fight causes inconvenience, but we musteach make our own stand...or not.

Paypal sucks, use Gunpal or postal MO and snail mail, nothing is needed that quick.

Hummm...ebay anti-gun? Funny...I've been purchasing reloading equipment and I believe I once saw once fired brass on there...I have also purchased gun parts from ebay. I know there are holsters and magazines on ebay too...
Ebay anti-gun? Must be another reason they stopped selling the projectile launchers...

Update -
It was just pointed out to me this morning that GUNPAL is a trademark for THE CANNON GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC., a California corporation, which does business as GUNPAL, INC.
http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77784325
Interestingly, documents filed with the USPTO show a current infringement dispute with PAYPAL, INC.
The fact that SOME firearms parts and accessories are apparently permitted (personal experience as both buyer and seller, dunno maybe just lucky) suggests to me that PP's stance is not based upon a political "anti-gun" stance. Look at all those "PayPal preferred" gun parts auctions running on ebay. PP's business plan is to make money for themselves, not to promote second amendment rights, further political agendas, or defend lawsuits brought by next of kin. And to that end their lawyers seem to be doing an effective job of keeping PP out of trouble.
Arguments? I love facts, especially when they prove me wrong. Because i learn something. And learning is good.
And the facts I now know definitely disprove my theory that California jurisdiction must necessarily enter PAYPAL's transactions since GUNPAL is in the same corporate boat as EBAY/PAYPAL. GUNPAL just hasn't been sued.

Meets my definition of anti-gun. Maybe I'm not "progressive" enough.
I'm certain the prohibition on pictures of firearms has saved countless lives.

well ain't that a puzzle. especially since pictures of guns abound on ebay! but each fully conforms to ebay's terms of use. to paraphrase Magritte, here's a stock photo.
ceci n'est pas une arme à feu
everything pictured in a listing with this photo is for sale. i think it's a requirement. prohibiting listings which picture items NOT for sale doesn't seem anti-gun to me.

Lee, you amaze me. Go ahead, just bury your head a little deeper in the sand. When presented with the evidence, even a list of the prohibited items, you find a picture of a gun on the cover of a book in an ebay auction, and declare ebay/paypal (same company) doesn't seem anti-gun to you.well ain't that a puzzle. especially since pictures of guns abound on ebay! but each fully conforms to ebay's terms of use. to paraphrase Magritte, here's a stock photo.

What does that have to do with the anti policies of egay and gaypal?
