I just purchased a rifle for a rather large sum of money. Since I have been stiffed by on e-bay, I'm a bit reluctant to shell out this kind of money to a total stranger. Is there any other way than sending him a check/money order?
Please let me know soon
Thanks

Find Ezi Check and enter the license holder's first three and
last five digits of his no. At least this will confirm address
and validity. Ask for references. When I ship a modern arm to
another 01, I always check the license. I did have one come up
expired. It is rather strange, I never sell inexpensive arms and I encourage people to ask for references and use the Ezi Check. Never has a person asked for references. 101
But that won't cover you from getting something that wasn't described properly.
Another route you can go is to pay him with a credit card. A lot of credit card companies have fraud protection. Best thing to do is call the CC company and ask them before you use it.
And one more way is to see if he won't ship it COD, that way you can inspect it before paying for it.

DO NOT COUNT ON THE POSTAL SERVICE TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF THERE IS FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They will do absolutely NOTHING to help you!!!!!!
This "you'll be protected if you use a USPS money order" is NOT TRUE!!!!
Trust me on this! I had to go hunt down a guy myself, because they wouldn't do ANYTHING! (I got my money back! Hehehehe.....)
Anyway, again, DO NOT COUNT ON THE POSTAL SERVICE! THEY DON'T CARE!!!!

GET HIS ADDRESS, GO TO THE LOCAL COUNTY TAX ROLLS, VERIFY IF THEY OWN PROPERTY.
DOUBLE CHECK THEIR ADDRESS & PHONE # WITH A CROSS DIRECTORTY ON THE NET.
ALSO CHECK OUT HIS FFL#.
CHECK HIS HISTORY ON THE BOARD YOUR BUYING FROM, E-MAIL A COUPLE OF HIS CLIENTS.
ALSO THERE IS THE OLD BETTER BUSINESS OFFICE IS HIS TOWN.
