I couple of days ago I bought 4 mags from a seller on GB. 55 dollars for 4 brand new mags shipped. I paid for the item, but this morning the seller said i needed to ship these to an FFL. His auction said mags could only be shipped to the CC billing address and only firearms needed to go to an FFL. Anyways, he was quick to offer a refund, less fees. I figured the fees but be a few bucks 10 at most. Out of the 55 i paid yesterday i am getting back 40. He kept the S/H even though it never shipped. Was this guy BS'ing me with the MA FFl thing to get a few bucks ? Or are online sellers really that reluctant to deal with MA customers?

If he wasn't clear upfront that mags had to be shipped to an FFL. You shouldn't be paying anything, fees or otherwise. There's no reason mags need to be shipped to an FFL. Make sure you crap all over his feedback page.
If he had no crap in his ad about MA tell him you want a full refund, and if you don't get one, complain to gunbroker about it. He has no right to charge you shipping for a product that never shipped.

That seller is a thief, you should complain and demand your full refund unless his add specifically stated that the mags had to ship to an FFL. If he doesn't give you the rest of your money then report him to gunbroker and tell us his screen name on there, please.

that's why there's an "F" rating available.

Not sure it's relevant, but I'll ask anyway. What is the round capacity of the magazines? Why would any seller believe magazines would need to go through an FFL? Whether pre- or post-ban, 'normal' capacity, or administratively limited to ten or less, they still don't need to go through an FFL, right?
I'm like, 99% confident, but leave that one percent room for error solely because this state sucks and our laws and regulations are ridonculous.
You should get a full refund, and nothing less.

Unless he his original advertisement stated these terms, he has no right to keep any of your money.
So if he chooses not to business with you he should return 100% of the money, else he IS doing business with you.

He changed the terms in mid stream?? He's got to refund all fees too, it's not your fault. He's a freaking moron for yanking you out of 10 bucks.
Apparently, 8 rounds mags are illegal in MA?!?

sorry ive been staring at your avatar for the last 5 minutes...they provided a link to the restrictions page before payment, but its a dead link. I just now went to the web page and found a different link that states
MASSACHUSETTS
ALL mags must ship to FFL dealers!
mags over 10rds must be made prior to 1994
Correct Class A or B state permit required to pickup mags from dealer
So i guess its my fault for not calling after the provided link didnt work. Whatever, im not gonna go through the trouble for 12 bucks. Lesson learned.
https://dkmags.com/Restrictions.html
...beat by seconds
and the answer to your original question is NO
I just found that page 20min ago. The link they provided on the payment screen was dead. I should of checked but assumed restrictions applied to firearms and not low-cap mags. See what happens when you assume?! lol
