From what I understand you can't purchase firearms using PayPal. Is this a common scam to get roped into using PayPal then burned? I don't plan on having anything to do with PayPal.

I've always dealt with postal money orders and bank cashiers checks and haven't had any issues buying or selling. Is that the best way to go?

With the frenzy in full swing I know there are both less experienced new gun owners out there and scam artists as well.
