Hey guys.
I was about to buy a m249 SAW airsoft gun from ebay canada, but then ebay took the listing off (along with another one of the users listings. He still has a few more up). Stupid ebay has a weird policy where paintball guns are allowed, but airsoft is grey area.
I asked the seller if he could put it back up, but he says no because of ebays policies. He did tell me that I could buy it from him using paypal, and thus taking the transaction off of ebay, but still doing it in paypal. (He has a decent rating. 155 sales with 97.5% positive feedback. His only negative feedbacks were by 3 sellers, who tampered with their guns, and wanted a refund even though he listed "NO RETURNS/REFUNDS".)
He said "The transaction can be done in my paypal store. With paypal, your money is still secure.
Now, I'm a little weary.
I don't know anything about paypals protection about fraudulent transactions IF the transaction is NOT done using ebay.
Whats this guy mean by his paypal store?
If I send this guy cash using paypal (not gifting it), and he scams me, can paypal refund me or something somehow?

Re: Paypal woes?
It's the same as the protection you'd get if you bought it on ebay and paid with paypal.

Re: Paypal woes?
I've made a claim through PayPal - it's quite secure and fair from my experience.

M249, that beast? I would have suggested some sort of store, but I don't think the US stores will ship to Canada. Don't quote me on that though. I do know that some players who do an international meet-up have had problems taking them across the US-Canada border though.

Yea, border hates airsoft.
The guns brand new, comes with everything plus a Systema M110 Spring (+35-50 fps), madbul 6.03mm barrel (better accuracy) and a m4 mag. Got a steller deal. Airsoft in canada is 2.5x the price and like 3x harder to get than in the US.

I can probably buy real guns cheaper in the states than you can airsoft in canadaHotDog-Cart wrote:Yep, that beast.bioniclebert wrote:M249, that beast?

Re: Paypal woes?
Hmm, Depends.
Ive lucked out, and seen some nice Lee Enfields for $100, and Russian SKS's for $350 in Canda. (The SKS came with 1000 rounds, all matching parts, 1 sks mag, and 2 converted AK mags, bipod, rail and scope.)
Gotta love Military Surplus guns. I want a Kar98k.

Re: Paypal woes?
you can get a plain jane chinese SKS for under 200, used to be a LOT cheaper russian ones are more expensive now tho. mosin nagant (91/30 and m44 etc) are between 80 and 150$ usually, with really pristine all matching non refurbed etc going for more. wwII era mausers are 200-400 depending on condition and markings with non german mausers being cheaper, like 100-250$. swiss K31s are 200-300, occasionally you can find one for under 200 but not too often anymore. AKs can be had for 300-500 depending on type tooHotDog-Cart wrote:Hmm, Depends.

This rifle was my 21st birthday present to myself, paid ~140$ for it from gander mountain the last time i went to MGC, its a 1939 Tula m91/30 and came with a postwar toolkit, sling and matching bayonet, and it appears to be most numbers matching too! and not force matched either.

when i'm not being a videogame/electronics nerd, or a gearhead/car nut i am a gun nut! when i have some surplus money i plan on doing some modifications to my mosin, bedding the receiver and tapping it for a side mount POSP scope, either 6x42 or 8x42.
also, i know where i can still possibly get some early war mausers in VERY nice condition with all proofs intact, price iirc was 350-450 depending on the rifle, but these were some of the best of whats left of the imported russian captured mauser rifles. dates were between 1938 and 41

Re: Paypal woes?
Nice triton!
If you can, get a variying scope.
3-9x40E or something. So you can adjust it for different magnifications. (I like 3-9x50)
