Sealabid
Fees & commission
Clear, no-nonsense breakdown of what sellers pay, when the £10 relist credit is issued, and how delivery/collection works.
At a glance
- Publishing a listing costs £10.
- If the sale completes, that £10 is treated as a deposit and is credited against commission due.
- If there is no completed sale, the £10 is not refunded.
- A £10 relist credit is issued only when a listing ends with zero envelopes (no bids at all).
- Free collection is available from the seller’s postcode outward code (e.g. “SW1A”). Delivery (if offered) is priced by the seller.
Seller commission (only when a sale completes)
If you accept an offer and the deal completes through Sealabid, we charge commission based on the accepted price.
| Final sale price | Commission rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £4,999 | 10% |
| £5,000 – £9,999 | 8% |
| £10,000 – £24,999 | 6% |
| £25,000+ | 5% |
If you paid the £10 publishing fee in cash (Stripe), we subtract it from the commission bill when the sale completes.
Publishing fee + relist credit
£10 publishing fee is charged when you publish a listing (when it goes live).
- If the sale completes: your £10 is a deposit and is credited against commission due.
- If the sale does not complete: the £10 is not refunded.
- Relist credit rule: if the listing ends with zero envelopes, we issue a £10 relist credit.
- The credit can be used against the £10 fee on any new listing by the same account.
- Credits expire after 30 days.
- If the listing ends with any envelopes at all (even if unsold), no credit is issued.
Plain English:
Zero envelopes = £10 relist credit (use within 30 days). Any envelopes = no credit.
Delivery & collection
- Free collection is available from the seller’s postcode outward code (the first part of the postcode, e.g. SW1A).
- Delivery (optional): the seller sets the delivery charge based on their own courier/pricing.
- Delivery/collection arrangements are agreed between buyer and seller as part of the deal.
