We don’t allow counterfeit items or unauthorized copies to be listed on GunBroker.com.
Items that bear a company’s official brand name or logo can be listed, as long as the products were lawfully made by, for, or with the consent of that company.
Unauthorized copies may include items that are bootlegged, illegally duplicated, or pirated. These items may infringe on someone’s copyright or trademark.
What is the policy?
Counterfeit products are illegal and not allowed on GunBroker.com. Examples include:
1. Fakes, copies, or replicas of brand name items (for example, a gun bearing the Walther mark that was not manufactured by Walther)
2. Accessories that use or bear the brand name, logo, or trademark of a company that didn’t manufacture the item
3. Listings with photos that hide or blur trademarks are not allowed
If you’re not certain that your item is authentic, or if an authenticator has been unable to confirm its authenticity, it may not be listed
We may remove listings if we receive buyer complaints that the item is not authentic. These items may not be relisted
Activity that doesn’t follow GunBroker.com policy could result in a range of actions including for example: administratively ending or canceling listings, hiding or demoting all listings from search results, lowering seller rating, buying or selling restrictions, loss of buyer or seller protections, and account suspension or revocation. All fees paid or payable in relation to listings or accounts on which we take any action will not be refunded or otherwise credited to your account.
Why does GunBroker.com have this policy?
This policy prevents the sale of counterfeit items, which are illegal, and could expose sellers to legal risk. Removing them protects sellers and their buyers from buyer protection claims and financial loss.
