New payment service - Gunpal works great – a report

[aguncrank]

I thought I would write this report of my experience with gunpal and post it as a new topic or reply to as many forum discussions as I could find. I became aware of gunpal for the first time yesterday afternoon, Oct 29, on the Yellow forum - http://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/me ... re+for+you

If you go there and read the thread you will see I posted that I was willing to be a “test case” with a seller on this airgun forum. I did some quick internet research and was very comfortable with the gunpal company. A small target frame maker, Cal, offered to join the test and away we went. I signed up with gunpal which was very easy and problem free. They donate a small (unknown and would like to know) amount of the sale to a charity or nonprofit you choose when you sign up. The NRA is one of the choices which made me very happy to see. That was my choice. The seller signed up and sent me the amount needed for the purchase. At 5:02 I made payment and almost immediately got an email from gunpal stating money sent with a transaction number and a link to their site. I went to the site and it showed funds sent. Cal received an email shortly after telling him he had money. I further tested the site by doing a support question to them about the checking account verification method and received an email back the last evening with a satisfactory reply. So my first experience went well and I will use gunpal all I can.

I am from kalifornia and found that gunpal may not be available in some states. I see New York is one of the states but know from a post by Ben Cannon, the ceo of gunpal, is working on making it happen there. Ben seems to be a very energetic person and appears to be very involved personally in making this work. I believe from my short time, less than 24 hours, since I found out about this a tremendous groundswell is occurring. It is spreading like wildfire in a high wind. From a Google search yesterday afternoon to one this morning there are many more hits showing posts and discussions about the service. I am sure by Monday it will be a discussion found on many, many forums and blogs.

I am a long time ebay/paypaler, since the late 90’s, and like most have become more and more disgruntled with the whole operation. I hope all reading this will support this new payment method and if you believe in it please try to get the industry suppliers to accept it. This is my opinion and I am not connected to gunpal in any way other that using it as a payment service. Due to the number of forums I will be posting this on I will probably not be able to reply to questions unless pm’ed to me. If you got to the end - Thanks for reading = bill
