How should I use GunTab when selling on GunBroker?

Are you selling merchandise on GunBroker? You can accept payment through GunTab for any GunBroker listing (regardless of whether it’s an auction, “buy now”, or “take a shot”).

Warning: GunBroker checkout required

Your buyer must complete Standard Checkout in GunBroker before they can pay via GunTab. Otherwise, GunBroker will continue showing the listing and a second buyer might purchase the same item. (GunBroker is working on fixing this issue.)

Getting started

When creating your GunBroker listing:

• In the “Payment Methods” section, select “Escrow”.
• In the “Item Description” section, mention GunTab. You can add a “Pay with GunTab” button and/or you can explain you will send a GunTab payment request after the buyer completes GunBroker checkout.

Automated (recommended)

Help buyers understand how to pay by adding a “Pay with GunTab” button to your listing’s description. You can do this by copying your HTML snippet from GunTab, and pasting it into your “Item Description” field in GunBroker:

1. When editing your listing in GunBroker, go to the “Item Description” field and click the “HTML Source” button.
2. Copy-paste your HTML snippet from GunTab at the bottom of the field, then click the “Save HTML Source” button.

When a buyer clicks your “Pay with GunTab” button, GunTab shows them options for how to pay.

Manual

When a buyer is ready to pay, you can manually send a payment request. This approach is only recommended if you plan to accept “take a shot” offers in GunBroker.

1. At the bottom of your GunBroker “Item description”, write something like “Pay with GunTab, I will send a payment request when the auction is complete”.
2. When a buyer wins a GunBroker auction or commits to “buy now”, or you accept their “take a shot” offer, then sign in to your GunTab account and click “Start a transaction”. Simply follow the instructions to send the payment request to the buyer.

GunBroker Compliance Fee

GunTab automatically collects the GunBroker Compliance Fee from buyers, so you don’t have to think about it. GunBroker invoices for these amounts, and it is your responsibility to remit them to GunBroker.
