Paypal for gear is way more than dumb, it's downright stupid. Same as the assholes selling gear on facebook.

Only thing is they accept PayPal? That's something I've never seen before and it caught my attention. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about using PayPal with a source?

Paypal is the worst funding option available to a source.
Paypal makes it very difficult to anonymously send funds.
Paypal keeps records of every transaction they process forever.
Paypal is notorious for being the federal government's pawn.

Numerous security related projects that are contrary to the US governments' interests have been harassed by paypal. Cryptome which is a repository of security related documents that has been operating for years had their account frozen by paypal.

I track technologies that can help the community. Mailpile is a project I have been watching for several months. Mailpile is an Icelandic email client that was crowed funded. When the full version is released in about month, this email client has the potential to revolutionize email communication. The entire basis for the project was to design an email client from the outset that makes sending encrypted email easy enough that a grandmother could do it. Bringing encrypted email to people with limited computer skills is contrary to the US government's mass surveillance policy. Paypal froze a significant portion of the money that was used to launch the project and requested an outrageous amount of information to unfreeze it.

Paypal is a horrible payment provider that should be avoided at all costs.

It's not quite legal, it's just not classed as a class A drug. So basically the police don't care if your using it, but they might be slightly concerned as to where you got it from. Also it's allowed to be brought back from other countries such as Egypt, Turkey without them even questioning you at the airport unless you have a really large amount

Yes, this I have been told. That is why I put the parenthesis around the word legal. LOL.

I don't want to post the link here, but if you are interested and can add to my query I would appreciated it. Just search over at the UK site: Great Britain's history of Misuse of Drug Act of 1971.

Here in the states as you are probably well aware that AAS are under the gun again. Many busts this year of ugls/srcs and there is a bill in the senate to circumvent loop holes for the designer drugs at well. Which IMHO, is a contradiction of what you see and hear through video/audio media. You have androgel commercials, cialis, viagra and now more low t commercials for other products that I can't recall the names of. It is a very interesting phenomenon for me to see how close these two countries are in many aspects, but very different in others.
