Site Fees

At Vintage Toy Bids, we use a small Buyer’s Premium to support the platform and keep our marketplace running smoothly for collectors.

What is a Buyer's Premium?

A Buyer's Premium is a small service fee added to the final purchase price of an item.

• It applies to:
  • Buy Now listings
  • Auction listings
  • Accepted offers
• The fee is paid to Vintage Toy Bids after the auction is won, Buy Now is made, or an offer is accepted.

This allows us to keep the marketplace running while offering 100% free listings for sellers.

Why We Use a Buyer's Premium

The Buyer's Premium helps Vintage Toy Bids:

• Advertise to bring more buyers and sellers to the marketplace
• Operate a secure and reliable marketplace
• Maintain and improve the buying and selling experience
• Support customer service and fraud prevention
• Invest in technology and platform improvements
• Keep listing and selling completely free for sellers

Key Points to Remember

• The Buyer's Premium is separate from the item price
• It applies to all completed purchases (auction, Buy Now, or accepted offer)
• Sellers receive the full sale amount directly from the buyer
• Vintage Toy Bids does not take any fees from sellers
• The Buyer's Premium is a small percentage based on the final price

How Payment Works

1. You win an auction, Buy Now, or have an offer accepted
2. You pay the Buyer's Premium to Vintage Toy Bids
3. You are then connected directly with the seller
4. You pay the seller using their accepted payment methods

Example

Item: Vintage Toy
Sale Price: $100
Buyer's Premium (10%): $10

Total Cost to Buyer: $110
Seller Receives: $100
Vintage Toy Bids Receives: $10 (Buyer's Premium)
