Fees, in full

On top of the monthly plan, sellers pay a 2% commission on the hammer price they collect, net of refunded hammer. Buyer's premium, taxes and shipping are never part of that base. Card authentication is optional, at $1 each, capped at $50 per auction. Stripe charges its standard card processing rates separately.

Estimate your monthly cost

Your monthly cost is the plan fee, plus the 2% commission on collected hammer, plus any card authentication charges, capped at $50 per auction. For example, $10,000 of collected hammer adds $200 of commission. The calculator below applies the same rules, before tax and before Stripe's card processing fees.

Frequently asked questions

The short answers: the commission is 2% of collected hammer, net of refunds; there is no per-bid fee and no limit on auctions or lots; card authentication is optional; and the plans differ only in how many users they include. Every amount on this page is read from the same pricing source that billing uses.

How is the commission calculated?
It is 2% of the hammer price you actually collect, minus any hammer you refund. Buyer’s premium, taxes and shipping are never included.
Is there a per-bid fee or a limit on auctions or lots?
No. There is no per-bid fee, and every plan includes unlimited auctions and lots.
What does card authentication cost?
Card authentication is optional. It costs $1 per authentication and never more than $50 for a single auction.
How does the first-sellers offer work?
The first 5 sellers to subscribe, on any plan, get 3 months free, then 25% off for the rest of their first year, then 10% off for life. The lifetime discount lasts while the subscription stays active; cancelling ends the offer for good.
Which plan fits my team?
Solo covers 1 user. Team covers 2 to 5 users. Unlimited has no limit on users. All features are included on every plan; only the number of users and the price change, and the commission and fees are the same.
