I've bought and sold alot on GB. If you have a nearby FFL that doesn't mind making a reasonable fee on the transfer its not a pain at all. Feedback is obviously important to check, read description and return policy closely, and make sure there are good pictures.

Why exactly is an ffl fee and when does that apply to a buyer?

When you buy a firearm online you have to have it shipped to an FFL. In general FFLs will not do that for free, in fact, some will not do it at all.

Shipping fees vary greatly, try to find a fixed shipping price or get a quote. If an individual ships a handgun they have to use overnight UPS, FEDEX, etc. that means $60+ for shipping. If its an FFL dealer shipping it they can use USPS and that can drop your shipping to under $20

FFL fees vary greatly too, there are a couple around me that will do it for $20, but there are a couple others who want up to $50
