Paying for the Item You Purchased or Won

Using Immediate Checkout:

Items which are eligible for Immediate Checkout are displayed with the dollar sign icon. Buyers can use this option to submit payment securely using the GunBroker Checkout system as soon as the listing has ended. Buyers can submit payment information, shipping information, and/or specify an FFL using GunBroker Checkout.

You can access GunBroker Checkout in one of the following ways:

  1. In Welcome> Buying> You Won!, click Select, and then Proceed to Checkout from the Select Menu.
  2. In the View Item Page, click the Checkout link in the box above “This Item has been Sold” message.
  3. In the “You Purchased an Item” email notification the buyer receives, select the “Proceed to Checkout” link.

The seller determines whether Immediate Checkout is active or not on an item. For more information, see How to Use Immediate Checkout.

As of January 1 , 2022, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, ApplePay, GooglePay, Rhea, Walmart2Walmart, MoneyGram, and any other person to person money transfer application cannot be used for firearms, firearm accessories or parts, or ammunition and we do not permit it to be used on the site or for collection of payment for any of our transactions, as it is against the applications terms of service, and against the User Agreement, Site Rules, and listing policy. GunBroker also does not support wire transfers, as these are not able to be disputed or reversed, and therefore, are not protected. The Buyer's Protection Program  (BPP) will not cover payments made with these applications.
