Post Auction
All payments must be received in cleared funds before lots are released. We accept all major credit and debit cards up to a limit of £5,000*, which can be made using the payment link in your post-sale notification email, or by contacting our Post-Sale Services Team.
* For purchases over this threshold, bank transfer is the most convenient way to pay. If making an international currency transfer, we recommend using a service such as Wise, which helps minimise the fees usually associated with international payments.
If you have any questions about the payment process, please contact our Post-Sale Services Team, who will be happy to assist.
Once payment has cleared, your purchase can be collected in person or shipped via our insured courier partners. Shipping costs and timelines vary by location and item size, our team will confirm details after payment.
