Site Fees

To keep Blades Bids running efficiently and free for sellers, a Buyer’s Premium is applied to completed 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 listings
• Fixed-price Buy Now listings
• Accepted offers

This fee is paid to Blades Bids after you complete a purchase.

Why We Use a Buyer's Premium

The Buyer’s Premium helps us:

• Keep listings 100% free for sellers
• Attract more buyers and sellers to the marketplace
• Maintain a secure and reliable platform
• Provide customer support and fraud protection
• Continuously improve the platform and user experience

Key Points to Remember

• Sellers pay zero fees
• A small Buyer’s Premium is added to each completed purchase
• The fee is separate from the item price
• It applies to auctions, Buy Now, and accepted offers

How Payment Works

1. You win an auction, Buy Now, or have an offer accepted
2. You pay the Buyer’s Premium to Blades Bids
3. You are connected with the seller
4. You pay the seller directly using their preferred payment method

Example

Item: Kershaw Knife
Sale Price: $100
Buyer’s Premium (6%): $6

Total Cost to Buyer: $106
Seller Receives: $100
Blades Bids Receives: $6
