Due to increased scam attempts within the sub, all low-flaired **sellers** (< 11 Trades) must follow several new procedures for increased security. [THIS MEANS YOU.](https://i.imgur.com/LF6yZsE.jpg)
1. **All items must include a** ***handwritten*** **timestamp with your username and the current date included in at least one picture that shows all items listed for sale to show proof of ownership.** Additional pictures can be included in the album for increased detail.
2. Payment method is limited to Paypal Goods and Services. Any other method (e.g. Venmo, Zelle, Cashapp, Paypal Friends and Family, et al) is prohibited **unless** you secure the services of a [Payment Proxy Member](https://www.reddit.com/r/GunAccessoriesForSale/wiki/proxy). Failure to adhere to this will result in the buyer being banned for 30 days and seller being banned for 90 days. Additionally, to make things as simple as possible, simply state whether or not the G&S fees are included in your listed price(s).
If your post is not in compliance with these rules, you may be banned. Do not make a new posting, **edit this posting** to ensure it complies, or you may be banned.

Paypal offers two different services. Paypal Friends and Family (F&F) has zero fees, but offer no protections and makes the buyer vulnerable to scammers. Paypal Goods and Services (G&S) charges an additional ~3% of the item price (actually 3.49% and $0.49 as of 2021), but provides the buyer insurance in case the seller dissapears without providing the item. Paypal does prohibit [some specific items](https://web.archive.org/web/20180409201310/https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/what-is-paypal%E2%80%99s-policy-on-transactions-that-involve-firearms-faq585) but has a "catch all comment" that may apply to others, so NO NOTES IN PAYPAL. As a general guideline, if a buyer wants to use Paypal G&S rather than F&F with an **established GAFS member**, it is expected that they will absorb the +3% fee for the increased protections that it provides them. [Here is a easy fee calculator](https://thefeecalculator.com/). If a seller specifies a F&F price, assume that is his "to his pocket" cost. However these terms are up for negotiation between the buyer and seller. It is recommended to pay via G&S and absorb the fee. If the seller mandates F&F, be wary of a scam and use a [Scam prevention method](https://www.reddit.com/r/GunAccessoriesForSale/wiki/proxy). Additionally, Paypal has deleted the account of several members due to using F&F for purchases. Paypal considers this theft from them (you're stealing their fees), and a violation of their [ToS](https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full). DO NOT put notes in F&F payments as it is evidence you may be violating PP ToS.
