Fees & charges
Two structures. Both of them simple.
An auction lot is hammer price plus one capped buyer processing fee. A Buy Now lot is the advertised price — no auction buyer fee at all. Everything below is in AUD and GST inclusive.
Hammer price + buyer fee
- Hammer price
- The winning bid
- Buyer processing fee — under $2,000
- $195 flat
- Buyer processing fee — $2,000 and above
- $290 + 1.1%, capped at $1,650
- Electric & hybrid admin fee
- Free
- PPSR certificate & inspection report
- Included
- Delivery
- Optional, quoted per route
- Government transfer / stamp duty
- Paid to your state authority
Example: $10,000 hammer + $400 buyer fee = $10,400 before delivery. On the same car a $650 + 1.65% schedule would invoice $10,815.
