When did they start this?? I went in to sell some stuff on gun broker and now they are telling me I need to add a bank account. I’ve sold items there before and have a credit card on file. They say they want me to give them my account info and they will deposit a small amount, less than $1. Then I tell them what that amount is. And then they will withdraw it.

If they can withdraw that, what keeps them from cleaning my account out? I use a credit card for that kind of stuff so I have protection. Not much protection if they can take what they want from my bank account?? This doesn’t sound like a good idea? Maybe I’m missing something: that’s why I’m asking?

I have never sold or bought anything on Gunbroker so I’m just guessing here. How were you paid for items you sold there before? Don’t they need somewhere to electronically deposit the funds ? Did they issue a credit to your card before ?

GB shut my account down a year ago saying they thought it was hacked.
Required me to set a new password, which they would not allow me to do unless I sent a copy of a drivers license or passport before they would allow me to set a new password.
I no longer have an account on GB.
