The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to withdraw, alter or combine with any other Lot all Lots offered for sale, to refuse any bid, to regulate the bidding, re-offer an item or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. The Auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion. The Auctioneer’s right to bid on the vendor’s behalf is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve imposed by the vendor.

BUYER'S COMMISSION A buyer's commission is 25% of the hammer price. VAT is chargeable on the commission figure only at 23% (under Auctioneer’s Margin scheme).

Example: an item with a hammer price of €100, would have a commission charge of €25 + Vat of €5.75, total due being €130.75.

If you do not pay Easylive Auction a "flat fee" of £3, then an additional fee of 3% + VAT @ 23% is charged by Easylive Auction on the hammer price of the lots you buy. This amount gets added to your buyer invoice.

Example: Online bidding fee on a hammer of €100 is €3.69, when added to commission above brings total to €134.44.

AUCTIONEERS MARGIN SCHEME. The Auctioneers Margin Scheme allows Auctioneer’s to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. Under the margin scheme an amount equivalent to VAT at the current rate is added to the buyer's commission. In accordance with regulations, this amount cannot be refunded and the VAT element will not be shown separately on the buyer's invoice.
PAYMENT. All payments must be made within 14 days of the sale date, by bank transfer, debit/credit card* or by cheque* supported by a valid guarantee card or bankers reference. Third party cheques will not be accepted in payment. All purchases must be paid in full before any lot is removed from the premises. Debit card & credit card payments are currently free of charge. No goods will be released to the buyer unknown to the Auctioneer without adequate reference or before their funds have cleared. Cash payments over €500 will require completion of a Cash Origin form, as per PSRA code of practice.
If a buyer fails to pay for any purchased lot(s) within 14 days of the auction (unless otherwise agreed with the auctioneer), the auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of the lot(s).
