Understand the fees
- Standalone sales: seller commission is agreed individually for each listing. Buyer charges are set out in the written purchase quote/invoice.
- Auction sellers: 15% seller’s fee. A $10,000 sale leaves $8,500 before separately agreed deductions.
- Auction buyers: 15% buyer’s fee. A $10,000 winning bid becomes $11,500 before tax and other costs.
Rigging, freight, installation and other services are not automatically included in these examples. Confirm responsibilities and prices in writing.
