Buyer's Premium

Apply an additional percentage-based fee to selected auction items—commonly used for commission or consignment items.


💡 Good to Know

  • The Buyer’s Premium is calculated automatically when the item is sold
  • The premium appears as a separate line item on the guest’s statement
  • A value of 0% disables the Buyer’s Premium
  • You can use both a processing fee and a Buyer’s Premium together
