Success Commission at Auction Club
For offers that are created, re-listed, modified, or scheduled, the success commission upon sale is between 8% and 12% of the selling price, depending on the product type (min. CHF 0.10, max. CHF 290). The amount of the success commission payable upon successful completion of the contract is decisive, and this is displayed in the listing form before an offer is published. It is forbidden to provide false information about the item to receive a lower success commission.
How the commission is calculated:
The success commission is the fee that a seller pays only when an item is sold successfully. This commission is calculated as a percentage of the final selling price of the item.
- Variable commission: The percentage of the success commission varies depending on the product category. For example, the commission on electronics may be different from the commission on cars or collectibles.
- Minimum and maximum: There may be a minimum commission you have to pay, as well as a maximum (cap) that the commission can reach, regardless of the selling price.
- Automatic payment: The commission is calculated automatically and added to your monthly invoice.
