| Ok, so i have a saga i want to sell. I get the face/face and even in state sales i can mail directly to them but should use a ffl. Out of state i have to use a ffl right. Now, the main question is payment. Is it badbad etiquette to ask for only check or money order In the EE? I dont have a paypal account and hear that can be tricky with guns & hope this is the only gun i need to sell. Any advice on selling would be great. |

Never paypal, do not even have an account. You are the seller, you set the terms. |

It is not bad form to ask for a secure method of payment. All sensible folks know that you're just trying to protect yourself, and anyone who has an issue with it is likely someone you should avoid doing a transaction with.
If you ship a firearm, it must go to an FFL holder. |

You can ship a handgun directly to a individual in the same state From the ATF FAQ; A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. |

Nope, doesn't make a difference, nothing has changed. |

Any firearm, but the trick is finding a carrier who will ship between two non-FFLs. |

Correct, but neither FedEx or UPS tariffs permit a nonlicensee to nonlicensee shipment. If you choose to sneak it through as machine parts you will get nothing on a claim for loss or damage. |

With three narrow exceptions, all interstate firearms shipments must be shipped TO a licensed dealer. USPS allows anyone to mail a rifle or shotgun, but only licensed dealers and manufacturers can mail firearms OTHER THAN rifles or shotguns (handguns, frames, receivers, etc) |

Yea, I have 2 FFL's here near me in Plano who have confirmed this. But generally, for me to ship a handgun overnight the cost is extremely high. For my FFL to ship it I generally pay about 1/5th the cost, meaning the $20 FFL fee is well worth it. |
