Site Fees

To keep Sportsman's 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:

• Buy Now purchases
• Auction listings
• Accepted offers

This fee is paid to Sportsman's Bids after you complete a purchase.

Why We Use a Buyer's Premium

The Buyer’s Premium helps us:

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

Key Points to Remember

• Sellers pay zero fees
• 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 purchases, and accepted offers

How Payment Works

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

Example

Item: Scope
Sale Price: $300
Buyer’s Premium (6%): $18

Total Cost to Buyer: $318
Seller Receives: $300
Sportsman's Bids Receives: $18
