Loupe This

I was the high bidder! Now what do I do?

If fortune should smile upon you and you win your auction, your card will automatically be charged the buyer’s premium equivalent to 10% of your winning bid. We will then send you an invoice for the remaining amount which requires settlement within 7 days.

Why are you charging me a fee on my bid, once it’s over $10,000?

Any bid over $10,000 is subject to a verification fee of 10% (Up to a maximum of $10,000) that is held on your credit card. The 10% fee hold will be released if you are not the winning bidder at the conclusion of the sale. It is only a hold and not a charge.
