SELLER FEES
Pay a small fee to list, and a success fee only when your plate sells.
Selling with Private Plate Auction involves two fees: a one-off listing fee, based on your starting or reserve price (whichever is higher), and a success fee, a percentage of the final sale price, deducted from the amount we send you. If your plate doesn’t sell, you only ever pay the listing fee.
Listing fees
Calculated on the higher of your starting price or reserve price. Charged when you submit your listing.
