I was going to order some ammo online. I'm told that the only way to pay with PayPal is "friends and family" as that is the only way PayPal will allow. Is this a scam site? I was tried to be scammed on another site.

Firstly its against paypals acceptable use policy to purchase ammo using a paypal account, if you do so you risk being banned.
Secondly if you use the friends/family option you would negate your buyer protection, and paypal often check that type of transaction and if they see you are using it instead of goods/services again your account could be limited.
I would pass on this one personally.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
