Congratulations! You�ve sold your firearm. We offer the following shipping guide to assist you with shipping the firearm.

Successful Sales (Without Secure Payment Handling)

The parties receive a confirmation of sale email with details of the item sold, final sale price, serial number(s) of firearm(s), and the email address of each party. You should contact the buyer using the email address to make further arrangements to complete the deal for payment and delivery. If you have not received this email within 24 hours of being notified of a successful sale, please inform us by using the Contact Us form.

Successful Sales (Buyer has Selected Secure Payment Handling)

Step One - On successful sales where the buyer has selected Secure Payment Handling (SPH), the seller will receive an email to include the following information:

Buyer's name and email address
The final sale price
Description of the sale item along with serial number
Clarification of how the buyer paid for the purchase, such as by credit card, or check

Step Two - Upon the collection of "good funds" from the buyer, a second email is sent to the seller to inform you of where/who to ship the firearm. If the buyer is a 01 FFL dealer, you will be directed of where to send a copy of your FFL (in proper form).

Step Three - After you ship the firearm, you are to go to complete the shipping report found on your My Guntopia page. To access the My Guntopia page, you must login and enter your password.
