Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check on a seller that I would like to buy a gun from?

GunsInternational.com is committed to it's users personal and financial information protection. We utilize high levels of internet security to protect your private personal and financial information. While a buyer being defrauded by a seller on our site is exceedingly rare, you must realize that you are dealing over the internet and as such take the necessary precautions. You must gain a comfort level with who you are dealing with on the site.

All sales are direct between the buyer and seller. We do have a few recommendations 1. Speak to the seller before sending funds. 2. Never send funds without seeing the Verified logo in the Sellers Profile. 3. Print out a copy of the listing for your purchase.

The verified logo indicates that the identity of a seller has been confirmed. GunsInternational.com believes that this gives the buyer an extra measure of security. To verify ID GunsInternational.com uses a third party Merchant Services Company. In addition, GunsInternational.com confirms via a personal phone call to the seller.
If they are a FFL, ask for their FFL number and check under our FFL links on the ATF Online EZ check system, that they are currently registered.
You may also go to www.anywho.com and perform a reverse number look up to make sure they are who they say they are. While it is not our policy we would recommend that you confirm the sale on the phone if you have any questions about the seller. Be suspicious of any seller that refuses to talk to you on the phone.
Be sure to clarify the seller's return policy. GunsInternational.com's return guideline is:
Return Policy Guidelines of GunsInternational.com Unless the buyer and seller agree to modify, the return policy is three (3) calendar days from the day the item(s) are received by the buyer or delivered to the FFL acting for the buyer. Exemptions are a new gun, a gun placed on layaway and for used guns clearly marked in the listing as No Return. The item may be returned for any reason, but the buyer must notify the seller within the three (3) calendar day inspection period. The buyer must start the return within the next four (4) calendar days to receive a complete refund, less all shipping, transaction fees and FFL charges. In other words shipping must start within one week of receipt of the item(s). The return shipping must be of equal shipping level, including insurance i.e.. Priority, Express, Blue Label etc. The return item MUST be in the same condition as when shipped to the buyer. This is an inspection period only, a gun is not to be fired or disassembled. Sellers written permission is required to allow the buyer to take down a takedown model during the inspection period. Upon the receipt and inspection of the returned gun, the seller agrees to issue a prompt refund. Recommendation: Confirm purchase with all details via the Contact Seller form within the listing and print out the listing for your records. Any modification of the 3 day return policy must be in writing by both buyer and seller.
We recommend you do not wire funds or use western union to send money. Scammers commonly request these modes of payment. Also, it is against PayPal, Venmo and Zelle to use their payment platform for firearms.

The shipper of the gun or gun part who does not purchase insurance accepts the risk of damage or loss, be it the seller shipping initially or the buyer returning.
In the event a firearm or other purchase arrives damaged in shipping, the shipper and receiver must cooperate fully to file a damage claim with the carrier. Typically, the firearm and packing is inspected at the receivers address. However, the shipper is responsible to file the claim. No action should be taken until the carrier has instructed on how to proceed. Neither shipper nor receiver will impede the claim. Refunds are not contingent upon the claim. In the event the buyer receives a damaged firearm, the seller will not wait for the claim to be processed to issue the buyer a full refund. In the event the firearm is damaged when a buyer is returning a firearm to the seller they will need to proceed with the claim for their refund.

Be sure to follow the sellers instructions and if possible for your protection pay by credit card and if not pay by US Postal Order for your protection. Be sure to include all of your shipping information, as well as your phone number.
