Please note: Lots with a purchase price of $1,000 or less will not incur a Sale Premium.

How will I be charged?

If a lot is sold and a Sale Premium is applicable, agents will receive an invoice from AuctionsPlus that will display the lot listing fee and the Sale Premium separately.

The Sale Premium is GST exclusive, GST will be added in the invoice.
