GunBroker suggests using GunTab
The safest payments on GunBroker are through GunTab, because GunTab is escrow. That's why GunBroker suggests GunTab on its Buyer Tools and Seller Tools.
What is GunBroker?
GunBroker is the largest online firearms marketplace. In fact, it's the third-largest auction website in the world, after eBay and eBay Motors. It launched in 1999 and is now the Goliath in the online gun industry. It helps buyers and sellers find each other and agree on prices for around $1 billion in merchandise per year. It was acquired by AMMO, Inc in May of 2021.
What is GunTab?
GunTab is "the PayPal for guns" – the safest, easiest payment solution for GunBroker and other marketplaces. It's the only gun-friendly payments online without a merchant account. Even better, it guarantees both sides are protected in every transaction.
Why GunBroker lists GunTab as a buyer tool
GunBroker lists GunTab a buyer tool because it helps buyers pay easily and securely, and guarantees they won't be scammed.
Why GunBroker lists GunTab as a seller tool
On the other side, GunBroker lists GunTab as a seller tool. That's because GunTab helps sellers easily accept payments online, and guarantees they won't suffer from chargebacks.
What are other tools available?
Unfortunately, many GunBroker transactions are still paid by methods that are vulnerable to fraud. In particular, payment methods like money orders and personal checks make buyers susceptible to scams. Even PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle are dangerous for gun and ammo transactions.
Many buyers believe they're safe from scams thanks to GunBroker's "Buyer Protection Program", but they're not. Due to a $100 deductible and $500 limit, they are guaranteed to lose money if they pay a scammer. At most price points, buyers lose more than 80% of their payment. And this assumes GunBroker approves their claim. If it doesn't, buyers lose 100% of their payment.
GunBroker transactions with GunTab are safe for both buyers and sellers. There is plenty of proof. For example, see a side-by-side case study, read a story from a buyer, or read the testimonials. Or you can even open a free account now.
