How does the buyer inspection period work?

Back to Help Center

Every GunTab seller offers their buyers a 3-day inspection period. During the inspection period, a buyer can either:

  1. Accept
  2. Dispute
  3. Allow the inspection period to expire (Accept)

When does the inspection period start?

The inspection period starts when the shipment is marked as delivered in GunTab (or marked as ready for pickup/dropoff transactions).

When does the inspection period end?

The inspection period ends after exactly 3 days, or earlier if the buyer accepts or disputes the transaction.

The 3-day period represents calendar days. It does not make exceptions for weekends, holidays, gun dealer processing times, or statutory “waiting periods”.

How does the inspection period end?

  • Marking the transaction as “accepted” in GunTab.
  • Allowing the 3-day buyer period to expire without filing a dispute through GunTab.
  • Accepting transfer from a gun dealer, or carrying the merchandise off a gun dealer’s premises.
  • Removing the merchandise from factory-sealed packaging.
  • Using the merchandise. For example: firing a gun, mounting an optic, installing a trigger, etc.
