Depends on who you use to ship an item. I usually use UPS as USPS is why more if not shipping flat rate.
good example a scope fully insured was going to be $38+ USPS, UPS $27.15 I also found out the UPS stores are way more they charge $3.00 per $100 insured, where as UPS is $1.15 and this just went up recently.
so the same scope would have cost me $24+ in insurance with the UPS store, regular UPS $8.00!

I just had an 18 pound gun shipped with $1000 insurance coverage for under $37. Guess I got a heck of a deal.
 
I got a reply from PayPal saying my funds had been transferred with in a few mins. I then sent him a e mail saying payment has been sent. Then not a word from him till this morning.

Contact PP again and ask them if that person has more than one email addy associated with that account. I know I have 2, but mostly use just one of them.
 
If it's gun related u definitely need to keep a hush on it with PP. Be extra careful how u word a note.
 
Last week Thursday I agreed to purchase a gun related item on one of the for sale boards. I asked, do you want Postal money order or PayPal. He says PayPal and send me his info. I send him the funds the same day. I hadn't heard from him since last Thursday. So I sent him a PM yesterday and he responds today that he hasn't received any money. I take a screen shot of my PayPal account and send it to him. He missed spelled his email and the money went to someone else. Now I copied and pasted the email just like he sent it to me. I contacted PayPal and being its friends and family and a gun related item they said it out of there hands. It is there policy that firearms and anything related to them can't be bought using PayPal.

He says hes not going to argue with me, said yes it was his mistake ( I have all this in PM 's from him ). He is not out anything I'm out 298.71 and I did nothing wrong and says he is going to keep the product. That it is no longer for sale.

What can a person do??
This may be late in coming, but in these times of ours, one only needs to say to PayPal, Ebay whoever, the item is a precision CNC custom stainless steel made part for a project you are building. Nothing more. Is it really there business, other than the money and item transaction. It could have been a piece of toast with the face of Rodney Dangerfield on it, sent the guy $10,000 for it and the guy ate it and kept the money. Personally I would not mention firearm, guns or ammo if I could keep it out of the conversation. Companies try to find any way they can avoiding responsibility. Who has tried to send in a "REBATE" for the purchase of a nationally known companies product, only to be rejected. Then you find out the rebates are handled by are third company who will do anything and use any reason not to pay. Doing the math, these companies make hundreds of thousands of dollars using this practice. I for one have been burned twice, until I found the laws in place which protect consumers. Most people will not bother. That's what they are banking on. I will fight them on principle alone. They are thieves, plan and simple. Just one example, if correspondence is sent through the USPS, you can contact the Postmaster General for what I think are 2-3 laws being broke if fraud is involved. Then if any e-mails are sent you can contact the FBI who handle most all internet fraud. Yeah baby, lets dance. Food for thought!
 
Jesus...if we ever do business remind me to send you the EXACT build specs from the builder himself, 8000 photos of the item, and if I’m buying to overnight an insured, certified check. Lol
Here’s the deal....I send my money, you send the damn product! A little more ass kicking there would be a lot less bs in this world! Oh, I’m a firm believer in capital punishment.....a VERY speedy trial, and public hanging for serious crimes!
