A friend of mine recommended Dwolla as a PayPal alternative. The transaction fees are ridiculously lower. Immediately, I wondered if I could use Dwolla with the occasional sales/purchases I make with Gunbroker. I shot off an email to Dwolla’s support address.

Paypal has a policy against transactions involving the legal sale of firearms or firearm accessories.

What is Dwolla’s policy regarding the legal sale of firearms?

They sent me a response that same day.

Sir:

Dwolla does not prohibit or restrict firearms sales so long as the sale is lawful.

This would include making sure if you are shipping across state lines (at least for handguns) shipping to an FFL.

If you are meeting someone within the same state, making sure the person who is purchasing the gun is properly credentialed to purchase and possess a firearm.

The above text is more descriptive than your question asks- however, I thought I would provide a bit of background into firearm sales online.

All the best,

Dwolla Compliance

Sincerely,

Looks like I’ll give them a try in the future.
