Liquidation Market · fee schedule
Every fee, in one place
DRAFT, pending legal review
Sellers pay a plan and a success fee on each sold lot. There is no buyer's premium and no buyer fee of any kind: what the lot page shows, plus any declared shipping and any sales tax the seller must collect, is what a buyer pays the seller. Free during preview; fees waived during preview.
Seller plans
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Live lots | Photos per lot | Success fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $1.95 | $19.50 | 5 | up to 8 (upload opens with selling) | 3% |
| Pro | $9.95 | $99.50 | 50 | up to 16 (upload opens with selling) | 2.5% |
| Business | $29.95 | $299.50 | 300 | up to 24 (upload opens with selling) | 2% |
Plan prices are plus any sales tax that applies. Annual = 10 × monthly. Free during preview. No listing fees and no insertion fees.
The success fee
- The fee is a percentage of the sold price: 3% (Starter), 2.5% (Pro) or 2% (Business), rounded half up to the cent, plus any sales tax that applies to the fee.
- Minimum $0.25 a sold lot, but never more than 10% of the price (so a $1.00 lot costs $0.10, not $0.25).
- Cap: $50.00 a sold lot, before any sales tax.
- The price is the winning bid, the Clock price accepted or the fixed price. Shipping and sales tax are never part of it.
- No fee when a lot does not sell, when the reserve is not met, or when a sale is voided (a void posts an equal reversal; a void after its statement is credited on the next statement).
- Fees are billed on a monthly statement, due on the 15th of the next month. During preview every fee is waived and statements total $0.00.
