What were they billing you for?

Details? I've been using them for a long time without any issues.

I too would like to hear details.
I've been a member for 4 years. Bought and sold a little, zero problems so far. I do get a monthly statement each month with a $1.34 credit, not sure why.

It is not unreasonable to expect them to respond with an itemized statement for your account.
The problem is $20 isn't worth fighting over unless you just want to make a point(I sometimes do that). If you paid by credit card ask the CC company to have them provide a statement of what you're charges were. I bet the CC company can get someone to pick up the phone. You might try and to report them to your State's Attorney General.

Personally, I won't do business with Gunbroker. I signed up on the auction side, and went to ask a seller a question. I am then told that I need an credit card on file to bid, ask sellers questions, etc., and tell me that I won't be charged to file a card with them. Not an easy feeling for sure. I've never had a problem anywhere else signing up, bidding, asking questions, and using money orders to pay for winning bids. Some people don't use credit cards, and they are just losing money with that particular policy the way I see it. RED, your complaints here make me even more weary, seeing the trouble you're having with them.

GunBroker uses a CC to verify you are who you say you are, if GunBroker didn't do this they wouldn't have any control over members having secondary names to run up bids with or people making new names every time they wanted to screw another member.

Red,
Are you really saying that someone is billing you $20. and you have no idea what it is for? So, you sent them the $20. just to get them off your back?
Let me know your address and I'll start sending you bills.

It is not necessarily fraud. The awful fact is that some of those web sites (sale types included) were started by hobbyists or computer geeks with absolutely no idea how to run a business. They devoted what knowledge they have to web site design, etc., and none to the business/bookkeeping/billing end. Then they walk away, thinking the site will run itself.
