A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT US CONTACTING YOU!

Never click links in email as they may be from scam artists Phishing for identifiable data and may take you to a site other than GunsLive.com. While our system does send out email for invoices and winning bids notification as well as several other actions, we always recommend you never click on links in any email but instead visit the site directly to protect yourself from scammers out there. You can always log directly into your account and take care of things directly.
OUR COMMITMENT TO FRAUD PREVENTION
As you have seen posted many times around the site, we consider this a Fraud Free Zone. Play nice with everyone, don't scam anyone, don't steal and you won't have any issues. Take someone's money and don't deliver their purchase and the wrath of all that is available in the course of legal action will be brought to bear full force. What does that mean? There was a guy on another web site (NOT Gunslive.com) selling a gun. It was an expensive gun and he was selling it for about $3,000 under market value. The gun was purchased by 15 dealers and individuals who paid from 1/2 to full payment for the gun. The person sold the gun to the first person and kept on re-selling the idea of the gun to another 14 people. Amazingly the site he did this on did not lift a finger to assist any of the folks who had been burned, and incredibly would not even return repeated emails and phone calls from all 14 of the victims. This event is in part a major reason we started this site. It took getting a friendly detective in the town this gentleman lived to get the ball rolling on recovering any of the losses. Local, State and Federal authorities were contacted and eventually most of the money taken was recovered. It took nearly 2 years. This activity will never be tolerated here.
IF YOU SUSPECT FRAUD OR THE LEGALITY OF AN ITEM LISTED HERE PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY! Simply click the "contact us" link at the bottom of any page on the site and we will immediately take action where appropriate.
A NOTE ABOUT EXPECTATIONS:
This is common sense stuff, but in this day and age, common sense seems to be uncommon, so we have to say this. Sellers expect to be paid and buyers expect to receive their product. Plain and simple. Your best bet is to stay in close contact with your buyer or seller after the auction ends. If you are going to be out of town on vacation, don't run auctions when you won't be checking your email!
All items sold including firearms must be shipped within 7 days of payment and receipt of valid FFL copy allowing shipment by law via a TRACKABLE SHIPPING METHOD! The only exception to this rule is class 3 items which require ATF approval for transfer. All class 3 items must have appropriate ATF paperwork filed (form 3 or 4) and copy available to buyer within 7 days of payment and receipt of either receiving dealer's FFL/SOT for out of state transactions, or make available ATF form 4 to buyer in the same time period for in-state transactions.
