How GunBroker Fees Work
GunBroker.com is the largest online marketplace for firearms, ammunition, and accessories in the United States. Like any auction and fixed-price marketplace, GunBroker charges sellers fees for listing and selling items. Understanding these costs is essential for anyone pricing guns, gear, or accessories to ensure profitable sales.
GunBroker Seller Fee Structure 2026
| Final Sale Price | Final Value Fee |
|---|---|
| $0 – $24.99 | $2.00 flat |
| $25 – $74.99 | 3% |
| $75 – $149.99 | 2.75% |
| $150 – $299.99 | 2.5% |
| $300 – $499.99 | 2.25% |
| $500 – $999.99 | 2% |
| $1,000+ | 1.75% |
GunBroker’s tiered structure means larger-ticket items like rifles and handguns over $1,000 are subject to one of the lowest final value fee rates of any major marketplace — just 1.75%. This is a significant advantage for high-value firearm sales compared to eBay (which doesn’t allow firearms) or other platforms.
Listing Fees and Feature Upgrades
Basic listings on GunBroker are free for the first 10 listings per month. Additional listings cost $0.10 each. Optional paid upgrades include featured placement ($4.95–$9.95), bold title ($0.50), and homepage featured listing (priced separately). These upgrades can increase visibility but add to your total cost per listing.
Payment Processing on GunBroker
GunBroker does not process payments directly. Sellers and buyers arrange payment privately after the auction or fixed-price sale closes. Common payment methods include money order, cashier’s check, certified check, and credit card through third-party processors. This means no payment processing fees from GunBroker itself — but you should factor in fees if you accept credit cards through a third-party processor like PayPal or Square.
FFL Transfer Requirements
All firearm sales on GunBroker must be transferred through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) dealer in the buyer’s state. The buyer is responsible for finding and paying their local FFL dealer’s transfer fee, which typically ranges from $25 to $75 per firearm. As a seller, you’ll ship the firearm to the buyer’s FFL dealer rather than directly to the buyer. Factor in your shipping cost when pricing items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage does GunBroker charge sellers?
GunBroker’s final value fees range from 1.75% to 3% depending on the sale price, with a $2.00 minimum on sales under $25. Higher-value items have lower percentage fees. There are no payment processing fees charged by GunBroker itself since payment is arranged between buyer and seller directly.
Can I list non-firearm items on GunBroker?
Yes. GunBroker allows listings for ammunition, optics, holsters, gun parts, accessories, and other related items that don’t require FFL transfer. These follow the same fee structure as firearms. For non-FFL items, shipping can go directly to the buyer.
Do I pay fees if my item doesn’t sell?
GunBroker charges a final value fee only when your item sells. There’s no fee for unsuccessful listings beyond the optional listing upgrade fees you chose. The first 10 listings per month are free regardless of whether they sell.
How do I receive payment on GunBroker?
Payment arrangements are made directly between buyer and seller after the transaction completes. Most sellers specify accepted payment methods in their listing (e.g., money order only, or credit card via PayPal). GunBroker sends the winning buyer your contact information and you coordinate shipment to their FFL dealer once payment clears.
