At this point, your options are limited.
This is why it is necessary to work this stuff out ahead of time, even if it requires a bunch of phone calls. That's also why I wouldn't do trades, but rather single transactions. But that's just me... -Troy |

As Troy posted, your options are limited - althoguh you could bring legal action against the FFL if they repeated and unreasonably refuse to return your property to you.
"normal" procedure for a trade like this would be for you each to pay your own shipping for the inital transaction and any return, unless other arrangements were made beforehand - and the guy in Cali seems like a bit of a prick for expecting you to eat his return shipping for the upper, in addition to handling your own shipping for the carbine and the return of his upper. In some small way, it might be best to pay what he's asking, and just keep an eye out for him on the boards in the future, rather than deal with the hassle of a prick buyer and a uncooperative FFL. Treat it as an object lesson, and lay down the terms for both the transaction and a possible return beforehand in the future, and count yourself lucky to learn a small lesson in internet dealings for just the price of shipping the upper. |

The jackass is effectively stealing your rifle. Let's see some names - put him out of business.
Where's the AR15.com Army? I'll be down in the PRK in less than a week. Where's the store? I want to go conspicuously not buy anything. |

By saying he did not like it is pretty vague. If he just changed his mind then I would say he broke the deal and perhaps could take some additional responsibilities for shipping costs.
If you shipped a rifle and it was not in the condition as described then I would say you broke the deal and had similar responsibilities. In this kind of deal gone bad the FFLs on both end should still get thier fee's cause both thier times got wasted. The FFL has your property but in my opinion he desirves a fee for his time. If he ships your rifle back to you he then looses all leverage to collect those fees. So basically he is holding onto the only asset he can control untill the lien is cleared against it. For what ever reasons the trade fell through and most likely I feel each person should cover thier own costs in the deal. |
