Site Fees
At Outdoors Bids, we use a small Buyer’s Premium to support the platform and keep our marketplace running smoothly for outdoor enthusiasts.
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 listings
-
Accepted offers
The fee is paid to Outdoors Bids after you win an auction, complete a Buy Now purchase, or have an offer accepted.
This allows us to keep the marketplace running while offering 100% free listings and no selling fees for sellers.
Why We Use a Buyer's Premium
The Buyer’s Premium helps Outdoors Bids:
-
Bring more buyers and sellers to the marketplace through advertising
-
Operate a secure and reliable platform
-
Improve the buying and selling experience
-
Support customer service and fraud prevention
-
Invest in technology and platform improvements
-
Keep listing and selling completely free for sellers
Key Points to Remember
- The Buyer’s Premium is separate from the item price
-
It applies to all completed purchases (auction, Buy Now, or accepted offer)
-
Sellers receive 100% of the sale price directly from the buyer
-
Outdoors Bids does not charge sellers any fees
-
The Buyer’s Premium is a small percentage based on the final price
How Payment Works
