We aim to ensure a safe purchasing process for our buyers through the implementation of a Buyer Protection Fee. The fee ranges from 5% to 8% of the sale price. Minimum fees are in place which vary according to the currency.

This fee is included in the final price shown on the checkout page. We've also shown the total under the item's base price to keep you fully informed.
