Let's start here.....IF YOU ARE BUYING:
Simply post on the thread that has the item you want to buy....."I'll take it"
Then send the person that is selling, a Private Message explaining that you want to buy the item he has listed. He will coach you through the process as there are many ways to do the two things required.
1.payment for the item you want to buy
a. personal check
b. USPS Money order
c. credit card
d. Pay Pal
e. other
2. providing the seller a copy of the licensed FFL holder you want the item shipped to.
a. hard copy mailed snail mail
b. emailed copy
c. Faxed
I usually put a hard copy of the FFL paper and the USPS Money Order in a single envelope and snail mail them together.
I've done this a great many times and have never been shafted....NEVER!
As a side note. Many FFL won't send a copy of their license. However, you can get their EZ-check number and provide that to the seller. I've done that on the last couple of buys. Just check before hand the seller is okay with that.
