My account showed a payment as received on 10/25/10. I requested a withdrawal and deposit to my checking account. The log shows the transfer as completed but the money never made it into my account.

Frank,
We strongly regret that you have had problems with GPal. Hopefully the issues will be resolved. Earlier in the year we ran one story on GPal, simply reporting that the name had changed. We did not endorse the service. Here is the story:

“GUNPAL has become “GPal”. GUNPAL, organized as an electronic payment system for firearms transactions, is now operating as GPal, Inc. at http://www.GPal.net.

As our userbase grows, so must our appeal. The GPal name signifies that we are a payment service for every lawful purpose, and our VeriSign EV SSL Certificate, the strongest in the world, showcases our commitment to security.” says GPal.net CEO Ben Cannon. The change was made to provide a broader potential market for GPal, which currently boasts 20,000+ users. GPal will remain the preferred payment service for AuctionArms.com.”

Cannon added: “Only the name is evolving to better serve our user base and provide a growth path for expansion. All buttons, links and banners will continue to work but will be redirected to GPal.net. Thank you for your support thus far in providing a transaction-neutral payment service.” Learn more about GPal developments on GPal’s FaceBook webpage.

Thanks for introducing me to Gpal early this year in your Daily Bulletin. It looked like an endorsement from a trusted news source to me. Now I am out a substantial sum of money and of course the valuable firearms I sold!
