Buy now
On the piece page, press Buy now. When you start the purchase, the piece is held for you for 10 minutes. When you move on to payment, you have 15 minutes to complete it. The minimum payment for a direct purchase is 0.50 EUR.
The Colectin fee
On top of the piece price and shipping, you pay the Colectin fee: 8.5% of the item price plus 2.00 EUR per item or lot, plus the VAT that applies. The flat 2.00 EUR part is charged once for each item, or once for a whole lot. Read what the fee includes.
The cart
Your cart groups pieces by seller. You can pay several sellers in one payment, and you choose a shipping option for each parcel.
Make an offer
If the seller accepts offers, you see Make an offer. Some pieces are Offers only.
- Type your amount and press Send offer. Nothing is charged when you send it.
- The seller has 30 days to answer. Those 30 days start again with every counter offer, yours or the seller's. If nobody answers, the offer expires.
- The seller can Accept, Decline or Counter. You can Modify your offer, Withdraw it or accept the counter offer.
- If the offer is accepted, you have 72 hours to pay. The fee and shipping are added at payment.
You can have at most 10 offers on the same piece. Live offers and declined offers count. Withdrawn and expired offers do not. If an offer closes, you can use Re-offer.
Lots
A lot is a set of 2 or more pieces from the same seller for which you offer a single total amount. A lot holds at most 20 items and 30 kg, and ships as one parcel.
