Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Guns International fees

I have seen various references to scams on Guns International over the years but the purchases I have made thru them went just fine (I did do a little homework on the sellers).

Now I'd like to sell an item there and that requires that I become a member.

Their website says that there is no charge for membership, but it requires that I give credit card information as a seller (but not as a buyer). Does that mean that they take a percentage of sales prices or have a fixed fee per sale? Couldn't find any info on that or why they require sellers to register a credit card.

Anybody sold thru them and know about sales fees?

Thanks for any experience you can pass along.
