Buyers Premium
The Buyers Premium is a small service fee applied to completed purchases and winning auctions on Collectors & Bids. It enables collectors to acquire rare, vintage, and limited-edition collectibles directly from sellers while supporting a secure, peer-to-peer online auction marketplace.
This buyer-supported model keeps selling completely free for sellers, while giving bidders access to competitive pricing, hard-to-find items, and a constantly refreshed selection of in-demand action figures, sealed collectibles, retro toys, and specialty releases.
The Buyers Premium is paid by the buyer at checkout via credit card (Stripe) directly to Collectors & Bids. This fee is separate from the purchase price or winning bid, which is paid directly to the seller once the Buyers Premium has been successfully processed.
