Fees & Costs

Simple, transparent, and shown clearly before you commit.

At a glance

Listing fees: if a listing fee applies, it’s shown clearly before you publish.
Commission: only charged on successful, completed sales and deducted from the seller payout.
Delivery costs: shown on the listing (postage/collection terms are part of the deal).
Payout timing: sellers aren’t paid instantly — funds are released after receipt confirmation (or the platform’s completion rules apply, as described in the Terms).
Card payments are processed securely by a payment provider (e.g. Stripe). We don’t store full card details on our servers.

If a listing fee applies, you’ll see it before you publish — no surprises after the fact.

Listing fees may be free during promotional periods. If/when that changes, the platform will show it clearly in the sell flow.

Commission is only charged when a sale completes. There is no commission if an item doesn’t sell.

Commission is calculated on the winning bid (hammer price) and deducted before payout.

Delivery/postage costs (if any) are shown on the listing and form part of the deal terms.

Sellers should use an appropriate courier/service for the item’s value and package it properly.
Where tracking is available, sellers should provide it in the platform.
Where collection is offered, both parties should follow the agreed collection instructions.

AuctionMyCamera isn’t a basic classifieds site. The flow is designed to protect both sides.

Funds are normally released after the buyer confirms receipt through the platform, or the platform completion rules apply (timeouts / evidence / dispute outcomes as set out in the Terms).
If a dispute is raised (non-delivery, material misdescription, damage in transit), payout may be paused while it’s handled.

Full details are explained in our Terms & Conditions.

These examples show how commission affects the seller payout. Delivery costs (if any) are separate and shown on the listing.

Do I pay anything if my item doesn't sell?

No commission is charged if your item doesn't sell. If a listing fee applies in the future, it will be shown clearly before you publish.

Is commission based on the reserve price or the final sale price?

Commission is based on the final winning bid (the hammer price), not the reserve.

When does the seller actually receive the money?

Funds are normally released after receipt confirmation (or the platform completion rules apply), as described in the Terms & Conditions.
