I think I'll just keep doing what I've been doing.
During the past 10 years I have purchased over 70 firearms and thousands of dollars in ammo and accessories from online vendors, online auctions, and local gun shops. Nearly all were paid for either with a PayPal debit card or with a direct PayPal payment. I've never had a problem or a delay.
Perhaps I am just lucky?

Hey, look! Your founder's bio says that Merchant Services LTD's, About page fibs about when the business was founded:

Currently, Chapman Ducote is the President and CEO of Merchant Services LTD, a full scale, vertically integrated credit card processing company headquartered in the heart of Miami Beach. Founded by Chapman in 2005, ...

So, who's telling the truth? Merchant Services LTD, or Mr. Ducote? Or maybe nobody at all.

He also responded to me via PM;

FFL's
you do not have to pick and or use a Premium FFL, you can use anyone you want sir. It is only an option we are offering to have a 3rd person verify you did not get a box of rocks sent to you instead of what you purchased.
Please email me with any concerns and we can discuss them. we do want to hear them sir..

What I was pointing out was that this is from a sellers perspective. The seller has no say in who the FFL is, which normally isn't a problem, except that in order to be paid, the seller is completely relying on the FFL's integrity.

So, from the buyer's side, this wouldn't be bad if the fees weren't so high, and the extremely short time in which they have to pick up the gun. The reason buying on line is attractive to me is I can avoid paying the tax. 5.4% is pretty close to the tax rate at my favorite gun shop, and I don't have to pay shipping there.

From the sellers perspective, this is a risky proposition. It requires a lot of trust of people you have never met. I have been burned to many times in various ways to do that. No one is to be trusted until they have proved to me that they are trustworthy. And then, still be careful.

And by the way, constantly trying to remove yourself from the discussion raises red flags, and says to me that you aren't very devoted to customer relations, service or satisfaction.
