Much as we'd like to offer this site for free, we can't. So, for the moment, the fees for our auctions and fixed-price PopShops venues, exacted only from sellers, are as follows:



Popula's Auction Site

LISTING FEES: Listing fees are $0.25 for each auction listing. This is a nonrefundable fee payable whether there is a sale or not. If the item doesn't sell, however, you can re-list it once for free. Also, you can change the wording, the category, the minimum bid and the reserve price if you want to. If it still doesn't sell, you can offer it in the Orphanage, also for free.

EXCEPTIONS: Listing fees are waived for any seller who puts up over 100 items in a calendar month. You'll see a credit on your account for all monthly listing fees after you have listed 100 items in a calendar month. (See your account by going to your Private Eye.) This credit represents a refund of your first 100 items for the month, and you won't be charged any additional listing fees for the remainder of that calendar month (though optional extras like fees for bold titles and for featured items still apply.)

OPTIONAL EXTRA: The listing can appear in bold face for a mere $1.00 extra per listing. (This doesn't count towards the monthly listing credit).

COMMISSIONS: On any item which has received a bid qualifying it for sale, there is a commission payable as follows:

5% on any winning bid up to $10, plus
4% on the amount of any winning bid from $10.01 to $50, plus
2.5% on the amount of any winning bid over $50

Note that this fee is payable whether or not the transaction is actually completed, or if the "winning" bid is made by the seller himself.

Please see our Seller Guide for instructions on obtaining commission refunds for deadbeat bidders.

 
 

Popula's PopShops

The fee structure on PopShops, Popula's fixed-price online retail format, is very simple: you pay $10 per month for an unlimited number of listings, plus a 10% commission on whatever you sell through your PopShop. You must have a credit card account in order to subscribe to PopShops. The monthly fee is charged in advance, and the commission in arrears. The initial fee is pro-rated according to how many days are left in the current month (so if you're half way through the month when you join, you're charged $5.00).

From time to time, we may offer discounts for members who pay for more than one month's service in advance.
