Atra Trading LLC is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the content of the listed items. All written and oral descriptions of the items offered are strictly the opinions of the seller and are in no way to be considered a guarantee as to the age, condition, material, features, or authenticity of said items being sold. By placing a bid, you signify that you have inspected the items in question to the best of your ability and asked any questions you might have of the seller. You understand and agree that in placing a bid, it will be viewed by the seller as a commitment and irrevocable offer to purchase. Bids may not be retracted.

a. Auctions may have time extensions at the discretion of the seller. Closing time for listed products may be extended when a higher bid is placed prior to expiration of the listed product.
b. Atra Trading LLC reserves the right to withdraw, postpone, or cancel listed products at our sole discretion, with or without notice and will have no liability to you because of this.

d. Any deliberate attempt to influence the sale price of listed items, directly or indirectly, through means such as bidding through secondary accounts, agents, or representatives is expressly prohibited.

4. Shipping and Handling
Atra Trading LLC is not responsible for transportation, delivery, loading, care, incorrect shipping addresses, or risk of loss of any listed products. By purchasing an item, you accept full responsibility for compliance with laws and regulatory requirements applicable to the transportation of listed products. The buyer is held solely responsible for verifying shipping addresses and all costs related to transportation of listed products including but not limited to special handling, loading, transportation costs, taxes, packaging materials, and fees that are required to move listed products to your desired destination. A signature will be required upon delivery of all shipments. Atra Trading LLC will pack and ship items (excluding firearms) approximately 1 to 14 days after payment and will provide tracking information to the email account registered on the buyer’s account. We do not combine shipping for separate auctions.
Shipping costs will be calculated according to size, weight, destination, and transportation method. These shipping costs are completely unrelated to the cost of the items. A handling fee will be assessed at the rate of $30 per hour (minimum $10) plus packing material (if is necessary). Some items may exceed standard shipping fees and require oversized and/or heavy shipping surcharges. Buyers will receive an invoice with finalized shipping and handling fees prior to shipment. If the bidder refuses to pay shipping costs, they are still responsible to pay the full hammer price, buyer’s premium, taxes, and fees they agreed upon when registering for the auction and items will not be shipped.
All firearms must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. Shipping and handling of firearms will be handled by FMZ Guns LLC. The buyer is responsible for checking state and local regulations before purchasing. The buyer is responsible for providing their FFL dealer’s information to the shipper for verification. Ammunition will not be shipped with the associated firearm. Additional charges may be applied for ammunition shipments and may require heavy or oversize charges. All firearms will be shipped via FedEx. Shipping fees for firearms are $40 for standard handguns and $65 for long guns, plus insurance, shipping and handling conditions apply for consolidated shipments (see above) . Oversize shipping charges will apply to guns over 45” overall length.
5. Shipping Insurance
All shipments will have mandatory insurance coverage, which covers only the cost of the items being shipped and does not cover shipping costs or buyer’s premiums. Should any items be damaged during the shipping process, an insurance claim must be initiated. To start an insurance claim, the buyer who accepted the damaged items is required to submit in writing the following information:
a. Buyer Name
b. Buyer Address
c. Bidder
d. Lot numbers of damaged items
e. A detailed description of the damages
f. Several detailed photographs of packaging before opened to be provided to the insurance company
This information must be emailed to sales@atratrading.com. Once all this information is received, we can begin an insurance claim, which can take several weeks to investigate. Buyers may be required to send items back and this is decided on a case-by-case basis. All insurance claims must be filed within 3 days of receipt of the damaged items. If a claim is not filed within 3 days, we will assume your items have been received in acceptable condition.
6. Terms of Payment
Upon completion of the auction, the bidder assumes responsibility to pay the full purchase price as required by the seller. When bidding on an item, you specifically agree that you are waiving your right to file a dispute of any kind with an online venue, a credit card, or any third party as well as the right to initiate a credit card chargeback dispute. Atra Trading LLC will hold the buyer responsible for any costs and fees associated with resolving a failure to make a payment or any related payment disputes. Buyer’s premium, taxes, and any other fees collected during the initial sale are non-refundable under any circumstances.
There will be two invoices sent upon completion of the purchase of a lot. The first invoice is for the final hammer price of the item with buyer’s premium, and sales tax and will be sent out within 48 hours of auction close. The second invoice will be sent once the final cost of shipping and handling has been determined. All payments must be made using a Visa or Mastercard. No other forms of payment will be accepted. No items will be shipped or available for pick up until full payment including shipping and handling charges has been received within 7 days of auction close.
Atra Trading LLC accepts no responsibility for items that have not been paid for within 7 days following the auction closing date. After this 7-day deadline, auction items are forfeited, are no longer considered the buyer’s property, and are subject to be re-sold or discarded at the discretion of the auctioneer. Bidders who do not pay before this deadline will be blocked from all future auctions for interfering with auction sales and can only be unblocked when payment for the hammer price and buyer’s premium they agreed to pay is received. Please carefully review the following important information:
a. Credit card payments will only be accepted from the buyer’s name listed on the invoice
b. Atra Trading LLC does not allow credit card chargebacks for any reason
c. Atra Trading LLC will only ship to the billing address on the credit card being used
d. Any delivered firearms subject to chargeback are considered stolen and will be immediately reported to law enforcement
e. Atra Trading LLC does not store credit card information and it is the sole responsibility of the buyer to pay all invoices
f. All documents of sale will be delivered to buyer upon payment in full
7. Firearms
Firearms are required by law to be shipped to a licensed FFL business within their state of residence for transfer. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to contact their receiving FFL and arrange transfer and FFL remittance. A current copy of the FFL must be submitted to FMZ Guns LLC by the receiving dealer for each individual invoice. All firearm transfers will take place in strict accordance with all Federal, State, and Local laws. The buyer is responsible for following these laws prior to bidding on any firearms. Only the person with a registered bidder number may take possession of the firearm at the conclusion of the sale – per Federal Law. Buyers may not bid on or pay for firearms on behalf of another party.
Firearms, ammunition, and edged weapons will only be sold to persons 21 years of age or older with a valid photo ID. The seller reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer, for any reason, at any point throughout the auction and sales process as well as the right to withdraw any firearms from the auction and will have no liability for doing so. No returns, refunds, or cancellations will be offered because of ineligibility. If denied by FBI/NICS background check, buyers will not be able to take possession of the firearm. If the bidder determines that they cannot legally own a firearm or accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract, and the buyer is obligated to pay according to payment terms described in this contract.
The seller and shipper are not liable for the condition of internal mechanisms or moving parts of firearms or the quality or functionality of any ammunition. Guns are not test fired and internal mechanisms are not inspected unless otherwise stated. All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to use.
