Site Fees

At SwingBids, we use a small Buyer’s Premium to support the platform and keep the marketplace running smoothly — for both auctions and fixed-price 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:
  • Auction wins
  • Buy Now purchases
  • Accepted offers
• The fee is paid to SwingBids after the transaction is completed.

This allows us to keep the marketplace running while offering 100% free listings for sellers.

Why We Use a Buyer's Premium

The Buyer's Premium helps SwingBids:

• Operate a secure and reliable marketplace
• Maintain and 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 the full sale amount directly from the buyer
• SwingBids does not take any fees from sellers
• The Buyer's Premium is a small percentage based on the final price

How Payment Works

1. You win an auction, purchase via Buy Now, or have an offer accepted
2. You pay the Buyer's Premium to SwingBids
3. You are connected directly with the seller
4. You pay the seller using their accepted payment methods

Example

Item: Golf Club
Sale Price: $100
Buyer's Premium (10%): $10

Total Cost to Buyer: $110
Seller Receives: $100
SwingBids Receives: $10 (Buyer's Premium)
