As a seller, you are responsible for collecting payment directly from the buyer. GunBroker does not accept or process payment for items on your behalf.
When creating a listing, select the payment methods you are able to accept. Clearly identifying your accepted payment methods helps buyers understand how payment must be completed after the sale.
Recommended Payment Methods
Recommended options include:
- Credit cards* processed through an established merchant account and payment processor. See Accepting Credit Cards below.
- USPS Money Orders
- Certified checks
- Money orders
Accepting Credit Cards*
GunBroker does not process credit card payments for sellers.
To accept credit cards, you must have a merchant bank account and be established with a payment processing service. GunBroker supports several payment gateways that can be connected to your account, allowing eligible credit card payments to be completed through Immediate Checkout.
For setup information, see:
- Immediate Checkout – Supported Payment Gateways
- Checkout Settings and Setting Up a Payment Gateway
If you are not established with a credit card processing service, do not select credit cards as an accepted payment method on your listings.
Prohibited Payment Methods
Do not request or accept payment through person-to-person payment services or money-transfer services that prohibit firearm-related transactions.
These include, but are not limited to:
- PayPal
- Zelle
- Venmo
- Cash App
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Ria
- Walmart2Walmart
- MoneyGram
- Similar person-to-person payment or money-transfer services
These services may prohibit payments for firearms, firearm accessories or parts, or ammunition under their terms of use and are not approved payment methods for these transactions on GunBroker.
Payments made using prohibited payment methods are not eligible for coverage under the GunBroker Buyer’s Protection Program (BPP).
Wire Transfers
GunBroker does not support wire transfers as a payment method. Wire transfers generally cannot be disputed or reversed after funds have been sent and do not provide the protections available with some other payment methods.
Setting Payment Expectations
Your listing should accurately identify the payment methods you accept. After an item is sold, provide the buyer with payment instructions that are consistent with the methods stated in your listing.
Do not direct a buyer to use a prohibited payment service or request a different payment method that conflicts with GunBroker policies.
Using clear, permitted payment methods helps create a documented transaction and reduces payment-related issues between you and the buyer.
