I've been buying/selling guns online using FTF as my primary means of transfer but never have shipped just due to hassle and potential for scams. I have a buyer that's interested in a rifle that's located in Tampa. I don't know him at all. What's the best way for me to protect myself from fraud or scam? Multiple times I've heard that long guns can be sold in your home state and shipped not using an FFL. This seems illegal and not in my best interest going this route. I don't know but I would much rather ship to an FFL to cover myself. Second is payment. I've read a lot about fake MO's being used or bad checks and Paypal having charges reversed so I'm wary of which route to take. I need to sell because I'm trying to pay off an expensive vacation so holding off isn't eaxctly an option. It wouldn't be the end of the world but I don't like paying interest on my credit card either. Anyone have some tips or advice on how you would proceed in this circumstance? Thanks everyone!
