Florida Shooters Network

Guys , just a heads up on a project I am doing to allow Gun folks and others who cannot deal with paypal for fear of losing their accounts( i know all about it as I have had 3 accounts locked for BS) It is going to be called FastPay and to start it will allow Buyer to send funds directly to the sellers credit/debit card for a small % charged to each.. We will eventually expand to cash accounts etc similar to PP & commercial accounts. We will allow customers to send each other funds for anything legally owned in the USA.

More details to follow...

As promised some more news. Ok the name of the venture will be called Freedom Payment as we now own the name and the website construction begins tomorrow along with our lawyers contacting the ATF and working on trademarks etc.. We are projecting to have the site running 30 -60 days and it will be rolled out here and another forum I frequent 1911addicts.com. To ensure that the seller actually ships the items sold to the buyer, we will have a link to either UPS or Fed ex (maybe both) where the check out cannot be done with out completing the shipping part first. The funds are held until the buyer or his say FFL receive the item sold . At that time the buyer finishes his part of the check out by confirming the delivery on the website and the funds will be released 12 hours ( as compared to 2-3 days with PP)to the seller. This way there is no more BS stories about shipping we all have heard.
Now this is our first steps and of course things may change a little as we do more work but I think it could work great for both parties for a safe and secure way to do transaction on the net.

we are also going to try and offer Freedompayment certified shops, these FFL holders will get increased traffic by being recommended by us for Transfers but in return they will have to offer a low cost transfer fees. they will also benefit from the lowest Credit card process fee's on the market which will help save dollars for them.

I hope you guys find this as exciting as I do , a way to pay each other with out PP telling you what you can and can't sell, also a more secure way then just sending a MO and hoping for the best.

don't places like Chase require you to have a 500,000 bond to access a Chase debit account ??

This venture is being run as a division of Merchant Services LTD , one of the largest CC processors in the country and have the backing of a Major bank .So I think that should cover your question Rent.

Cool.

good deal I wasn't trying to be negative, sorry if it came off that way, I support anyone other than PP

not taken in that way at all brother, solid question IMO. thanks for asking it and I hope my answer was adequate for you.

Good luck and keep us informed!

will do.. hopefully we will be up and running very soon.

Good luck! Let us know when it's live and where to sign up.

Are you saying both the seller and buyer will be subject to fees?

there's no problems with guns???

I planned on using GPal, fortunately waited long enough for the horror stories to come out. I hope its got enough finances and expertise to pull it off. GPal, although an honest effort, didn't, and descended into chaos.

yes Guns and all gun related items, knives etc will be allowed as we wont ever actually be involved other then transferring funds.

from what I remember about gunpal is that they held funds like paypal if I am correct, we will have a different set up which will be explained in good time. But simple terms we shouldn't be holding your funds longer then it takes to do the transaction of the moment.

that's a nice touch!
Hope it doesn't cheat you out of millions in interest, LOL.

I really hope this all works out, Ira. It's sorely needed.
A couple questions/suggestions if I may...
A virtual terminal service would be very nice to have. Also an easily integrated shopping cart would be awesome, and I for one would happily switch over from paypal for both of those features.

Hopefully all in good time. Nice idea scott I think one we catch on and merchants want to use us the the cart would defintly be something to consider

update on first post guys. I hope you like the progress.

This sounds promising Ira. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.
