Shipping FAQ

Who pays for shipping?

Buyers are responsible for all shipping costs unless otherwise specified in the auction listing. Shipping costs are separate from the winning bid amount.

How is shipping calculated?

Shipping costs depend on item size, weight, distance, and transport method. Our shipping calculator provides estimates, but final costs are confirmed by the carrier.

Is shipping insured?

Yes, all professional shipping includes basic insurance. Additional coverage can be purchased for high-value items. Self-pickup arrangements are not covered by our insurance.

What if my item arrives damaged?

Report damage immediately to the carrier and take photos. Contact our support team within 3 days. With escrow protection, payment is held until you approve the delivery condition.
