Just got THIS Email from Gunbroker

[ORL-LLC]

On 7/26/2021
GunBroker.com will be assessing a compliance fee. The fee will be assessed on the purchase price of the item only and will be added to the order total paid by the buyer. The compliance fee will be collected by the seller and remitted to GunBroker.com through the seller fee ledger. The fee will appear as a separate line item on the seller statement.​

​

What is the Compliance Fee?​

​

The Compliance Fee is a fee assessed by GunBroker.com and added to the price of the Item at the time of purchase. The U.S. states have been very active in passing new laws applicable to GunBroker.com, including in the areas of taxation, privacy and firearms. These laws have increased the compliance costs of GunBroker.com substantially.​

​

Thank you,​

​

This for sure will Stop the SPAMMERS/SCAMMERS ​

Wonder what the amount of fee they'll charge when I purchase something from a scammer in the range of $9,999.998.01 ?

Re:

Yeah, right; all scammers will abide by this rule.

Current Gunbroker experience either as buyer or seller generally blows compared to say 5-10 years ago!

I got kicked-off, for not finishing a transaction with some idiot selling stuff....without all items even in country. The seller had one transaction. It appears to have become part of the ebay mentality.

Seems like I recall another gun related site going the way of the turd and money being a root cause

My notice said 22 cents a transaction.

Multiply that times how many guns get sold through them per year and somebody’s kid is going to summer camp while the girlfriend gets a new set of bbs.

Just like printing cash.

What is the definition of a "compliance fee"?
The new GB owners appear to be working both sides of the street.
Just list an item with an outrageous (not too much) price, list your contact information, and sell off-site.

GB has really gone downhill fast since it changed hands.

It's probably part of the goober. fakebook, egag, group.
