paypal problem

i tried to purchase a bronze membership to the forum and pay for it thru paypal.
I have an adequate balance in my paypal account to cover this,but your system wont let me use it.It wants me to provide a credit card number and I wont do that.
BTW - Paypal is anti-gun and they are noted for locking up your account if you use paypal to buy firearms or firearms related items.
Why do you support Paypal?

You're right about that, they will freeze your account while investigating you and might confiscate your balance if you violate their rules.
I also don't let PayPal take their percentage, I stopped using it years ago. When I sold stuff on eBay and accepted PayPal the fees could be anywhere from 0% to 10% depending on how the buyer funded the payment and how much the payment was. It was very unpredictable and a pain in the ass. I'll stick with cash check or money order for receiving funds and the same plus credit card for making payments, depending on the terms of the seller. (I use a credit card with no annual fee and pay off my balance every month).
