Paypal terms of service
Paypal is a convenient way to make purchases online. However, their policies are not always clear. In 2006 I was briefly suspended by Paypal because I was selling banned items, such as pocket knives and blowguns.
Therefore, to remain compliant with their policies, I now only accept Paypal for martial arts TRAINING equipment, such as escrima TRAINING sticks (any size) and escrima TRAINING blades, which have no sharp edges or points, so they can be used for SAFE TRAINING, and for my flutes and walking sticks.
(Escrima training equipment is exempt from Paypal's ban on weapons, since these are for use in a sport.)
Any items such as pocket knives, which may be legal and commonly available at places like gas stations, hardware and convenience stores, will not be sold through Paypal. Those items will require a check or money order by mail. If you have questions about using Paypal, feel free to contact me.
Using Paypal: This website does not yet have a webcart set up. The main reason is I offer various discounts, such as for pairs of sticks, or larger breaks for bigger orders, and the programming skill to set all that up, plus calculating shipping options, is more complicated than I can handle. I also have a lot of customers who call or email first with questions about my products, so I still prefer to assist each order personally to ensure customers receive what suits them best.
I've had people offer to update my site, but so far none has come through. Therefore I'm still asking people to use Paypal the old-fashioned (by internet standards) way, which is to logon to Paypal and simply send money to my email addresses on here, which are registered for that purpose.
If you do not have an account with Paypal, it only takes a few minutes to register there, and doing so will also allow you to use a credit card for the purchases you make here.
