I'm sorry that happened to you. Happened to me twice, one from this board.
When I am in doubt I tell the seller to ship it through his FFL or no deal.
How does this help you? Do you have contact with the FFL to the extent that he can verify that you are dealing with a stand up guy,or do you pay the FFL? Just trying to figure it out. I've had sellers send through FFL but all I did was send the contact info of my FFL.
