FAQ

Is posting an ad free?

ShooterBoard strongly recommends using a licensed FFL dealer for all firearm transfers. How do I contact a seller?

View the listing and use the contact method provided by the seller – email, phone, or the platform’s messaging system. All communication and transaction happens directly between you and the seller. Shooter Board is not involved.

Can I list services, not just items?

Yes. Gunsmithing, repair, and related services can be listed in the appropriate category. Describe the service clearly, include your location, and specify how buyers can reach you.

What are the listing requirements?

You must include a clear title, accurate category, item condition, a realistic price, your location (at minimum city/state), and a working contact method. All items must comply with our Prohibited Items Policy and applicable laws.

Do firearm sales need an FFL dealer?

This depends on your state and the type of firearm. Federal law requires FFL transfers for interstate sales and certain firearm types. Many states also require them for in-state private sales. You are responsible for knowing your local laws.

What happens if someone reports my listing?

Our moderation team will review the report. If your listing violates our policies, it may be removed and you may be contacted. Repeated violations can result in account suspension. If you believe a removal was an error, contact us via the Report Abuse page.
