How to Use the Immediate Checkout Process

Immediate Checkout allows buyers to enter shipping, FFL, and payment information as soon as they buy an item. Sales tax is calculated based on all the entered information and added to the order if applicable. This is the quickest and most efficient way to complete the sale for both buyers and sellers.

Sellers qualify to use Immediate Checkout by accepting credit cards through the Checkout system and having pre-determined shipping costs. Items which qualify for Immediate Checkout states it on the listing.

How Immediate Checkout works:

1. When a Buyer purchases a fixed price item or wins an item in an auction and selects the Checkout link.

Buyer accesses Checkout in one of these ways:

In Welcome>My Buying>You Won!, Select Go to Checkout
In Welcome>My Buying>Won Orders Select View Order
In the View Item Page, click the Checkout link in the box above “This Item has been Sold” message.
In the “You Purchased an Item” email notification the buyer receives, select the “Proceed to Checkout” link.

2. Buyer fills out the Order.

Ship to address (For items requiring FFL, buyer enters FFL information)
Class of shipping (based on what the seller offers)
Payment method (based on what the seller offers)
Bill to address

3. Seller updates Order progress.

The seller updates the progress of the Order:

Marks Payment Received
Marks FFL Info Received
Enters Order Tracking Number. When entered the buyer will be notified.
Marks Order Shipped

NOTE: By law, the seller must receive a hard copy of the FFL and retain the FFL for their records to complete the transaction.

4. The Order is marked complete.

Once the seller marks Payment Received and Order Shipped, the Order is marked Complete.

Buyer and seller can:

Access shipping/tracking number
View the Order
Print out a receipt
