Another thread got my curiosity up.
What are the maximum fees that can be charged for firearm transfers?
I've read about fees from reasonable(for California) to outrageous(over
$100.00 in L.A. area).
Is there anything a purchaser can do if they have been overcharged?
Are the fees regulated?
I ask here because I trust the people on this forum.
Please inform.

They can charge you anything they want to as long as they show anything over the DROS fees ($20.00) as a dealer fee and do not try and represent the extra charges as a state fee. A reputable dealer should not charge more than $20.00 for a dealer sale or $30.00 for a private party transfer. Charges for a transfer from out of state will vary greatly. A dealer should be able to charge a reasonable fee for that service. Don't ask me to define "reasonable fee".

California DOJ website says:

Q. What fees can I charge for handling a Private Party Transfer (PPT)?

A. If the transaction is a PPT, you are restricted to charging no more than $20.00 in State fees described and $10.00 per firearm for conducting the PPT. For example:

a. For a PPT involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees are $30.00 for the first handgun, and $26 for each subsequent handgun.
b. For PPTs involving one or more long guns, the State fees are limited to $20.00 for the whole transaction plus $10.00 dealer fee per firearm transferred.
