How much commission does Catawiki take?
We charge a 12.5% commission fee, excluding VAT/sales tax (15.1% incl. VAT/sales tax) of the winning bid. Commission fees are used for extensively promoting our auctions, among other things.
Can you sell on Catawiki?
To put it simply, anyone can sell at Catawiki. Whether you are a professional retailer or trader, or just someone who wants to make some extra money selling your items online, we’re always excited to see the special objects you have to offer up.
Can I sell to highest bidder if reserve not met?
If the reserve price is not met, the seller is not required to sell the item, even to the highest bidder.
What happens if I don’t pay on Catawiki?
If payment is still not received, then the buyer will be blocked from placing any further bids on Catawiki, and the sale would subsequently be cancelled. As we don’t want this to become an inconvenience for you, we will automatically re-offer the lot for auction unless you choose otherwise.
How does Catawiki bidding work?
When you place an automatic bid, you tell us how much you’re willing to spend, and we increase the bidding by the minimum amount every time you’re outbid until your maximum is reached. This means you don’t have to follow the auction as closely and you’ll have the chance of winning the item for less.
Is Catawiki safe to use?
Catawiki has a safe and secure payment method in place. We ask all buyers to submit their payment within 3 days of winning the auction. You never need to ship a lot before the buyer’s payment has been received.
