In short
- Two things under one roof. A marketplace where players sell used airsoft to each other, and a webshop with new products shipped from the Netherlands.
- An account is free. You get 3 free active listings (adverts), and placing a listing is free in most categories.
- Buyer protection holds the money. The buyer pays through the platform and the seller is paid once the item has arrived. It costs the buyer €2.00 plus 7.5% and the seller nothing.
- The UK is served, with limits. The webshop ships to the UK for €19.95 with import VAT and duties on delivery. Gas, CO2 and lithium batteries stay in the EU, and a RIF (a realistic-looking gun) is only sold where a defence applies: you give evidence that you play airsoft, usually your registration with UKARA, the UK retailers' register.
- One site, one address. The real site is www.airsoftbazaar.com and the only contact address is [email protected].
Who we are
Airsoft Bazaar is run by Airsoft Bazaar B.V., a Dutch company. It began as a place for players in the Netherlands and Belgium to buy and sell used airsoft, and most listings still come from there. Today the site runs in eight languages and accounts can be opened from 32 countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland among them.
There are two parts. On the marketplace players deal with each other. The webshop sells new products from our own warehouse. One account covers both.

Marketplace or webshop?
Used kit from other players
Listings placed by members: guns, gear, sights and parts. You deal with the seller in the chat and can pay with buyer protection.
Browse the marketplaceNew kit from our warehouse
New products, shipped with the parcel carrier GLS from the Netherlands. Orders placed before 12:00 on working days leave the same day, and you have 60 days to return.
Visit the webshopThe marketplace: buying and selling between players
A listing on the marketplace is a classified ad. The seller describes the item, sets an asking price or invites bids, and buyers respond through the chat. Most of what is on offer is used airsoft guns and gear and clothing, with parts and sights alongside.
Everything that follows, from questions to the payment request, happens in that chat, so there is a written record if you ever need one. Airsoft Bazaar is not a party to the sale: buyer and seller agree the price, the postage and how to pay between themselves.

Buyer protection step by step
Buyer protection is optional and works per purchase. Instead of paying the seller directly, the buyer pays through Airsoft Bazaar. The money goes to an intermediary account managed by our payment partner Stripe and stays there until the item has arrived.
How a purchase goes
-
Agree in the chat
Buyer and seller settle the price and the postage. The seller creates a payment request, or the buyer proposes one. Payment requests exist only for listings on Airsoft Bazaar.
-
The buyer pays
The amount is held and not paid out yet.
-
The seller ships
Once the payment is confirmed, the seller sends the item and shares the tracking code in the chat. With a courier that is mandatory.
-
The buyer releases the money
With "I have received the item". Without a response the amount is released automatically 10 working days after payment; reminders appear 5 days and 1 day before.
-
Or the buyer starts a dispute
That has to happen before the automatic release. The payout is paused and both sides agree a full or partial refund in the chat. A proposal that is not answered within 14 days is accepted automatically.
The webshop
The webshop sells new products: airsoft guns, gear, eye protection, BBs and parts, from the brands you know. Orders go out with GLS from our warehouse in the Netherlands, and anything ordered before 12:00 on a working day leaves the same day.
You can return an order within 60 days of dispatch, unused and in the original packaging. The return label costs €5, or nothing if the product is wrong or defective.
New in the webshop: airsoft guns
Shown here: replicas (airsoft guns) within the limits for Great Britain. A realistic one for the UK is only sold where a defence applies, usually shown with UKARA; without it, pick a two-tone version, which is mostly a bright colour.

What it costs
| Cost | Good to know | |
|---|---|---|
| An account | Free | 3 free active listings, 5 images per listing, 1 saved search |
| Placing a listing | Free in most categories | In replicas, services and bulk sales, accounts without Plus or Pro pay a small one-off contribution, shown before you publish |
| Selling with buyer protection | Free for the seller | The seller receives the full item price and postage |
| Buying with buyer protection | €2.00 plus 7.5% | 6% with Plus or Pro, 5% with Business; calculated over item price and postage, from an item price of €15 |
| Plus (outside the Netherlands and Belgium) | €1.95 per month or €4.95 per year | 5 free active listings and 5% off in the webshop |
| Pro (outside the Netherlands and Belgium) | €4.95 per month or €14.95 per year | Unlimited listings and 10% off in the webshop |
| Business | €399 per year | For shops and other business sellers |
The example from our help centre: on an item of €100 the buyer pays €109.50, made up of €7.50 buyer protection and the €2.00 service fee, and the seller receives €100. If a purchase is refunded, the buyer protection and the service fee are not. Current prices are always on the pricing page.
Reviews and verification
Is Airsoft Bazaar reliable? We would rather show you what is in place, and what is not, than answer with adjectives.
What you can check for yourself
-
Every account verifies its e-mail address. Dutch members also verify their membership of the Dutch airsoft associations NABV or ACA, which Dutch law requires for owning a replica.
-
Members review each other. After a chat you can leave a "Recommend" or "Do not recommend" with a short explanation. It appears on the other member's profile.
-
There is a report button everywhere. Listings, profiles, reviews and chat messages can be reported, and the marketplace is moderated.
-
The money is held by a payment partner. With buyer protection the amount sits in an intermediary account managed by Stripe until it is released or refunded.
-
What we do not do. We are not a party to a sale between members and we do not decide who is right in a dispute. Without a payment request we cannot hold or refund money.
The UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe: what we can ship
The webshop ships to the whole of Europe. For the UK two things changed with Brexit. We charge 0% VAT on a UK order, because it is an export, and the carrier collects UK import VAT, any duties and a handling fee on delivery. And gas, CO2 and lithium batteries only travel by road within the EU, so they cannot be sent to the UK. Ireland is in the EU: the price you see is the price you pay.
Webshop shipping per destination
| Destination | Shipping | Free from | Delivery after dispatch |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | €19.95 | never | 3 to 6 working days, plus customs |
| Ireland | €9.95 | €150 | 3 to 6 working days |
| Netherlands | €4.95 | €99 | 1 working day |
| Belgium, Germany | €6.95 | €100 | 1 to 3 working days |

Airsoft Bazaar for a UK player, honestly
What works in your favour
- A far bigger pool of used kit than the UK alone, including continental brands and models.
- Buyer protection on any marketplace listing, also across a border.
- Free to list in most categories, and nothing to pay as a seller when buyer protection is used.
What to keep in mind
- Most listings come from the Netherlands and Belgium, so a UK buyer usually deals with customs.
- Prices are in euros.
- No gas, CO2 or lithium batteries from the webshop to the UK.

Frequently asked questions
What is Airsoft Bazaar?
A marketplace for used airsoft and a webshop for new airsoft products on one site, run by Airsoft Bazaar B.V. from the Netherlands. Players in 32 countries can open a free account to buy and sell, and the webshop ships across Europe.
Is Airsoft Bazaar reliable?
Judge it on what you can check. On 12 November 2026 the marketplace had 56,006 members, and 92% of the reviews of the last 30 days were a recommendation (501 of 542). With buyer protection the money is held by payment partner Stripe until the buyer confirms receipt. What we cannot do is protect a deal that is paid for outside the platform.
How does buyer protection work?
The buyer pays through Airsoft Bazaar and the amount is held until the buyer clicks "I have received the item". Without a response it is released automatically 10 working days after payment. If something is wrong, the buyer starts a dispute before that date and both sides agree a refund in the chat.
What does it cost to sell?
Usually nothing. An account is free with 3 free active listings, placing a listing is free in most categories and buyer protection costs the seller nothing. In the replicas, services and bulk sale categories, accounts without Plus or Pro pay a small one-off contribution per listing, which is shown before you publish.
Does Airsoft Bazaar ship to the UK and Ireland?
Yes. Shipping to the UK costs €19.95; import VAT and duties are charged on delivery, and gas, CO2 and lithium batteries cannot be sent. Shipping to Ireland costs €9.95 and is free from €150. A RIF for the UK is only sold where a defence applies, usually shown with a UKARA registration, and in Ireland and Northern Ireland the 1 joule line applies.
How do I contact support?
E-mail [email protected], the only contact address. For a problem with a listing, a member, a review or a chat message, use the report button, which reaches the moderators directly. Many answers are already in the help centre.
