GunBroker.com has developed a checkout system to facilitate and consolidate communication between buyer and seller. Checkout does not replace the item/auction format, but is a pipeline after the item/auction has ended to capture information required to complete the transaction, such as billing and shipping information.

How does Checkout work?
| 1. |
Buyer wins item and selects checkout link
|
Buyer wins an item, either by winning an auction, or by choosing the Buy Now! option.
The Checkout Link can be accessed several ways:
- On the View Item page after the auction ends
- On the Won All Buying - Won section of My GunBroker, select "Proceed to Checkout" from the Actions pop up list
- On the Checkout section of MyGunBroker
|
| 2. |
Buyer creates and fills out Order
|
Buyer enters all information necessary to initiate the transaction:
- Ship to address (For items requiring FFL, buyer enters FFL information.)
- Select Class of shipping (based on what the Seller offers)
- Payment method (based on what seller offers)
- Bill to address.
|
| 3. |
Seller reviews Order Adds related costs
|
Seller reviews the order and calculates costs related to the item transaction:
- Shipping/handling costs
- Insurance, if applicable
- If an FFL is required, the Seller will update the ship to address and fill in the FFL number.
|
| 4. |
Buyer confirms Order with final costs and makes payment
|
Once the seller completes the review, the Buyer will review and confirm the final costs.
The Buyer must then pay the Seller for the item.
|
| 5. |
Seller updates Order progress
|
Seller updates the progress of the order:
- Mark Payment Received
- Mark FFL info Received
- Enter Order tracking number
- Mark Order shipped.
NOTE: Seller must still receive a hard copy of the FFL and store it in their records by law to complete this transaction
|
| 6. |
Order is marked complete
|
Once the Seller marks Payment Received and Order Shipped, the order is marked complete.
Buyer and Seller can:
- Access shipping/tracking number
- View the order
- Print out a receipt
