I learned along time ago you never send a money order that is not tracked and signature required!! it cost about $6.00 bucks but it is money well spent! Hope it all works out for you! and you need to get a copy of the cashed money order to prove that he got it and cashed it! again sorry for your troubles.

The bank funished me a copy of the scan of the signed money order. I scanned it and sent it in the email to him 10 hours ago.

Fraud crossing State lines qualifies for prosecution under the Feds.

The bank gave me a copy of the scan of the money order with his signature plus when it was cashed. I scanned it and sent him a terse email with a scan of the paper the bank gave me. He is in Texas.

In my best Tater voice.... "Texas has the death penalty, and we use it."

Keep us posted, hopefully he will suddenly find your payment was made and ship the firearm.

I used to to trade/sell/buy computer parts on private forums and have run into a few bad seeds. It's amazing how fast you can get thier attention when law enforcement gets involved. Your deal might be considered internet fraud. Here is a link for the FBI Internet crime complaint center. Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

Good Luck!

Update: He says he has no record of getting it, or my ffl I sent with it. He was apologetic, and really seemed perplexed on what is going on. It seems he didn't look at the attachment I sent him of the scan of the money order. So, I continue to wait.

Texas you say? Tell him you're sending the Feds all the documentation (plus cancelled check with his signature) for them to 'investigate'. With all the trouble <legitimately> selling guns down there, it seems to me that he would get it right for you right away...

Did you report a seller issue on the GunBroker site?

Gunbroker has NO TEETH and will do NOTHING to help you. Ask me how I know! Always use a credit card. That is the ONLY reason I got my money back.

Keep your frequent flyer miles for cases like this. I had a guy in Pennsylvania do the same thing to me.Imagine his surprise when I showed up at the door with his local police.

I haven't gone to gunbroker yet, but if he doesn't start telling me what I need to hear soon, it's going that way.

I'd be going to them now. Regardless if he comes around at some point, I would want Gunbroker involved sooner than later. Good luck

Agreed.

 

[Dirtebiker]

I know there are good deals online...but when you buy from a local gun shop, at least you can walk in and grab the guy by the gourd and find out whats what. .

That's a good way to get shot!

 

[gunman41mag]

I would've informed GUNBROKER from the get-go

 

[jason765]

you should be mad enough to kick a puppy, this is exactly why I will NEVER buy guns online.

 

[greyhound47]

Gunbroker WILL NOT do anything to help you and neither will the police. I went through this same situation and the only reason I got my money back was because I used a Mastercard through BidPay. BidPay and GunBroker both told me that they could do nothing. You would think that the feds or the local police would be interested but they are not. They call it a "civil matter".

Some people's faith in GB is not founded in fact. Buy from your local dealer and this will not be an issue.

Good news! He says that I am right and he wants my ffl to fax his license to him (which he somehow lost). My ffl is closed today so it will be tomorrow. I told him that I needed the gun overnighted. We'll see what he says to that.
