Site Fees

To keep Cards Bids running efficiently and free for sellers, a small Buyer’s Premium is applied to completed purchases.

What is a Buyer's Premium?

A Buyer’s Premium is a small service fee added to the final purchase price of an item.

It applies to:

• Auction listings
• Buy Now purchases
• Accepted offers

This fee is paid to Cards Bids after you win an auction or complete a purchase.

Why We Use a Buyer's Premium

The Buyer’s Premium helps us:

• Keep listings 100% free for sellers
• Attract more collectors and dealers to the marketplace
• Maintain a secure and reliable platform
• Provide customer support and fraud prevention
• Continuously improve the platform and user experience

Key Points to Remember

• Sellers pay zero fees — they keep 100% of the sale price
• A small Buyer’s Premium is added to each completed purchase
• The fee is separate from the item price
• It applies to auctions, Buy Now, and accepted offers

How Payment Works

1. You win an auction, use Buy Now, or have an offer accepted
2. You pay the Buyer’s Premium to Cards Bids
3. You are connected directly with the seller
4. You pay the seller using their preferred payment method

Example

Item: Sports Card
Sale Price: $100
Buyer’s Premium (10%): $10

Total Cost to Buyer: $110
Seller Receives: $100
Collector Bids Receives: $10
