Anytime you buy online, you risk a fraudulent transaction. Even through Amazon (I had a buyer once try to defraud me through Amazon).

I've bought and sold guns through GunBroker.com, and it's true the risk was always there, just as somebody buying guns from me took a risk.

I _do_ think there's something wrong when a seller can delete legitimate negative feedback about their service. I know that if I saw so much as a single, "I bought a gun from this person and didn't get it", I wouldn't buy from them. I verified this on GunBroker.com today and I intend to take the matter up with them. I recommend everybody else that patronizes GunBroker do the same. As a seller, I should have the right to post a follow-up comment about any buyer's comments, but I shouldn't have the ability to artificially inflate my ratings just by deleting negative comments.

If you're referring to Gunbroker.com (and I know you can't confirm or deny), they DO have a buyer protection system (http://www.gunbroker.com/User/FraudClaimProcess.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). However, I always recommend you purchase with a credit card [not a debit card!](even though it often bumps your price up by 3%), because the CC company can come down like the hammer of God on them. _If_ you are very confident that the seller is trustworthy, then you can pay for it with a money order via the US Post Office. I don't think I'd ever do it any other way, personally.
