Check each and every sellers feedback..............
I don't see any feedback for this seller.
Ive had good luck but as mentioned above, check the feed back and weigh whether a good reputation is worth it to you just like in any other online transaction.
On a little extractor I just went with what was cheapest, on stuff for an appreciable amount of money I make sure its from a reputable source.

I have done several transfers for people buying off Gun Brokers with no problem,,BUT,,I've had 2 out of state buyers that had been given my name as an FFL that was going to ship the
firearm,1 called after he mailed a check,got cancelled quick , other called before mailing ,saved a lot of time,,seller was using photos that belonged to someone else, and had them posted on several different sites.got all the information possible and truned it over to the local sheriff's dept,no more problem.When in doubt STOP.got scammers everywhere now,
Usually a VERY good idea to call the seller and talk with them. Ask pointed questions about the item so you get a feel as to the veracity of the questions, the knowledge of the item the seller has and a feeling as to the honesty of the seller.
DON'T RUSH INTO ANYTHING! If the seller is pushing the sale or your spidey senses begin to tingle, back away!

Did a lot of buying on GB several years ago, only one hiccup when seller tried to substitute something other than listed item that wasn’t in stock as indicated.
Have a bunch of things I ought to list for sale....
Bottom Line: buyer beware! As others have suggested there are pitfalls if you don’t feel everything’s lining up right.

Have bought and sold guns, ammo and shooting related items like scopes and magazines. I never had a problem but will absolutely not purchase anything from a seller with no feedback. Over the years there seems to be more shill bidding. Easy to spot, an item sells, then is relisted a week or so later. Evidently paying the fee isn't enough of a deterrent for this behavior.
I've bought and sold a lot over several years at GB and almost always had a very positive experience.
The rating system is the key to the security of the system....as other said: pay close attention to the details of the seller's ratings.
The downside: their fees are pretty stiff, IMHO.....YMMV.
For the last few years I've sold on other forums....especially here at accurate shooters, also at Snipers Hide, Predator Master and others.
There are plenty of scammers out there, just be alert, ask questions and don't assume anything.
If it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is!!

I bought a pistol from an individual on Gunbroker. He was an FFL holder. Somehow the package got opened at a USPS center. US Postal Inspector got involved. Long story short, there was a 2-week delay, but I eventually received the pistol.
Was the package opened because a USPS employee thought they were saving the world, or did the FFL not package it correctly? I suspect I know, but nothing I could do either way.
Bought a couple of long guns from Bud's Guns, never any trouble.
Sold one pistol, but used a co-worker to list it and ship it for me as an FFL had to be involved, anyway.
As others have said, be cautious and if you don't like the way things look or sound, walk away.
That was a long 2 weeks wondering what the heck was going on with that pistol. And I was completely powerless. Not a fun time.
