On the terms of the auction house that ran the sale. Each auctioneer sets its accepted payment methods, payment deadline and buyer's premium, typically 8% to 23%, and states them in the catalog. Read them before you bid rather than after you win.

Shipping and pickup arrangements are handled directly between the buyer and the seller, not through Proxibid itself. Some auctions are local pickup only at the seller's location, while others include shipping options. Check the auction listing for details about pickup windows and shipping costs before placing your bid. For large or heavy items like equipment, you may need to arrange your own transportation or pay the seller's shipping fee. Always confirm logistics with the seller after winning to avoid surprises.

The auction house that listed it. Your contract is with the auctioneer, who is licensed and bonded in their own state, and the platform's role is to carry the bidding. Read the individual catalog's terms, because they differ substantially between sellers.

They are set per auction by the auctioneer, typically in the 8% to 23% range, sometimes with an additional online bidding fee on top. There is no single platform-wide rate, so check the terms on each catalog before you decide what a lot is worth to you.
