GunBroker double billed me for a purchase

It's over. My seller helped me through this and my card is unlocked. I wont be using GB's immediate checkout again and GB as little as possible.

It can be an addiction. I can quit anytime I want!

Sadly it’s pretty common practice for cards get those pending charge situations. Most don’t see it but a lot of gas pumps actually do a $125-$150 pending charge on your card any time you scan them. Then when the machine settles later that day the correct dollar amount actually gets withdrawn. Some banks won’t actually return those funds back to the account holder for several days even after a pending charge never settled (Midfirst). It’s generally infuriating for the buyer and the seller

If I get gas with a credit card it will charge me a dollar then, and then a few days later the total amount.

The pending two charges are still showing on my credit card.

They would be authorizations. First step of the process. Hotels and gas stations do this to verify you have sufficient credit and to allocate the funds, to allow the charge to be made when the transaction is completed (Actual fuel dispensed, product shipped, etc.)

Correct

That may be what shows on your pending but they authorized for way more. After a stolen card info I started an account just for gas, keep very little money in it. I have come to discover that I have to go inside to pay if the balance in the account is under 150 for this reason

Never bought / sold there.

But have bought off of GunsAmerica before a few times with great results!

GB's one percent convenience fee as well as sales tax collection has given me pause in purchasing future firearms from them.

Had my first issue with GB ever. So, there was some glitch on the GB checkout process and it wanted to charge me $180 shipping on a pistol from Texas to Oklahoma!!! I emailed the seller and had to call them directly to pay. $30 shipping is better than $180.

It's somewhat foolish of me but I bought an article off of the internet without researching who was selling the item and instead of the article I thought I was buying, they sent me a pair of gloves. The cost was $79.00 and the item was sent from China! (I used Paypal because i didn't want them knowing my card number.) I thought I'd suck it up and chalk it up to learning a lesson but decided to contact my credit card company and reverse the charges-which they did and I'm unscathed. If you are taken advantage of or have a charge that you feel is unwarranted on your card, contact the company that issued you your credit card. They'll work for you.
