After being told by PayPal they would no longer allow firearms payments on PayPal and then seeing some remarks to the contrary, I sent them an e-mail asking for clarification. Seems they've changed their story for the time being. Asked to have it verified by a senior executive, don't know that I'll ever get that answer, but here's what they sent me.

Dear William,
Thank you for contacting PayPal.
Sorry for any confusion.
PayPal does not prohibit the selling of firearms. This policy only
applies to the PayPal Shops feature, a form of advertising provided by
PayPal. The PayPal Shops feature has a separate User Agreement.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us
again.
Sincerely,
Kimberly
PayPal Customer Service
