The buyer is to provide the to the seller by fax or mail a copy of the licensee's signed FFL license from where the transfer will take place. A seller can only ship the firearm to the address on the license. Seller's can check the provided information at the FFL eZcheck and may request additional information such as proof of ID from the buyer. The seller must inform the carrier that the package contains a firearm. A firearm cannot be shipped loaded nor can ammunition be shipped in the same box. The seller should take the copy of the signed FFL with the item to be shipped in case the shipper requests verification. It is also wise to place the buyer's name and contact information inside the shipment. FLL Dealers will then know the item is intended for transfer and to who. FFL Dealer's should also be willing to answer any questions you may have. Keep in mind that payment services such as PayPal will not allow transactions for firearms. It is your responsibility, both seller and buyer to be in compliance with all Federal, state, and local laws in relationship to firearm sales.
