Worked example

One auction night of 40 lots

Assumptions: 40 lots that each sell for $400 ($16,000 in total), half of them won by buyers you invited, four auction nights a month.

One night

Illustrative

Winning bids40 lots × $400: $16,000
Seller fee2% of each lot ($8 a lot): −$320
You netHeld until pickup, before processing: $15,680
Buyer fees from marketplace buyers20 lots × $20; paid by the buyer, not deducted from you: $400

A month of four nights

Illustrative

Winning bids160 lots: $64,000
Seller fee$0 for a founding seller's first 90 days: −$1,280
Subscription and software: $0
You netBefore processing: $62,720

Where the cap matters: a $30,000 truckload pays $500, not $600, because the seller fee stops at $500 a lot.

The rules

How the seller fee works

Charged only when a lot sells. 2% of the winning bid, rounded down to the cent, capped at $500 a lot.
Deducted from your payout. The platform collects the buyer’s payment and holds your payout until pickup; the seller fee comes out of that payout.
No other seller fees. No listing, setup, per-bid or software fees, and no monthly subscription.
Founding sellers. No seller fee for the first 90 days; the standard 2% applies after that.
The buyer fee is the buyer’s. Buyers who join through your invite link are house accounts and pay no buyer fee on your lots. Buyers the marketplace introduced pay 5% on top of the winning bid, capped at $500.
Payment terms. Buyers pay within 2 business days: card up to $2,500, bank transfer (ACH) above that.
Non-payment. A buyer who misses the deadline is charged the greater of $100 or 10% of the winning bid and takes a strike; 2 strikes suspend the account, and the lot may be offered to the next bidder.

Card and ACH processing is passed through at cost and excluded from these figures on both sides.
