Proper way to cancel an invalid sale
Hey guys, I'm new to gunbroker and someone from IL bought some ammo from me and I need to cancel the order. What's the best way to do that? He is new to gunbroker as well so I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Also, there is no way to offer to the next bidder correct? That could cause major bidding fraud if allowed I'm guessing.
Thanks

1- No way to "cancel" an order/auction on GB once it has a bid.
2- The only resolution is (A) You file a non-paying bidder claim, and relist the auction. This way you get your auction fees back, but the buyer gets a black mark. The only way to save the buyer a demerit is (B) You be a nice guy, and pay the auction fees out of your pocket, or (C) The buyer pays you the auction seller fees.
3- You are correct, no offer to second bidder.

Thanks! I sent the buyer the options.

You can ship ammo to Illinois, however you can't ship ammo to Chicago or Cook county. Have them send you a copy of their F.O.I.D card. As long as you told them to check their local laws first your good.

Hey guys, this person lives in SAINT CHARLES, IL. I'm a private individual and not an FFL business. I just don't want any legal issues. It's 22lr ammo. Just by me having a copy of the FOID I'm good?

You do know that there are some special requirements for shipping ammo, right? You do know that you can't just put it in the mail/UPS/FedEx, and let 'er rip?
For some good information on shipping ammo, see the current post titled as such here in Ask the Experts

Three times in the last two days I had people in states bid on a rifle they cannot legally purchase in their state… I canceled those orders and explained it to them. The second time I updated my listing to warn them to make sure they could legally purchase. And then it happens a third time. I don’t want to be nice and pay $70.03 different times and cover the seller fee. What am I supposed to do? I canceled the first two orders and relisted just to have that happen to more times. Not sure what to do
