Maximizing the auction price from a private seller with no buyer protection payment gateway

(1) Do sales from private sellers take a huge hit in auction price because they can't offer buyer protection?
(2) Is there any way to offer the seller buyer protection besides the default GunBroker protection?
(3) How many of the sales on GunBroker are from private sellers for cash or check?

Who knows??? What kind of buyer protection are you looking for??? If I sell a gun to someone on GB and never ship the gun and keep the money I am not sure what GB could do about it except to kick me off the site. If you have no feedback here on GB then it most probably is a disadvantage compared to someone like me with almost 1000 good feed backs but at the end of the day anyone who sends money hoping to receive the product they are paying for is taking a chance. If it is just one gun maybe you have a friend with a store that would be willing to accept a credit card and pay you??? You said you had a bunch of good feedback on another site so maybe you could mention that in the description?? I don't think you can put a link in your description but you could have bidders email you and you could do it that way??? Good luck to you.
I am looking for the 100% money back guarantee buyer protection that is offered by paypal and credit card companies offer if no item is received or the item is significantly not as described.
Cool. Have the customer pay you after he receives the gun. 100% gar un teed.
This forum are in no way affiliated with the auctions, so questions such as "Do sales from private sellers take a huge hit in auction price because they can't offer buyer protection?" or "How many of the sales on GunBroker are from private sellers for cash or check?" are beyond the scope of the forum.
I thought you had a dealer who was going to handle/process the transaction??
Since their total charge is $1.00 they may be a scam.
I don't know who you are, but I find this thread irritating. That isn't a good thing.
