A Buyers Premium fee is a service fee added to the price of a fixed-price listing or the final winning bid of an auction. This fee helps support independent artisans, allowing them to sell their goods for free, secure transactions, and enabling marketplace advertising.
The Buyers Premium fee is paid by the buyer to Handmade Planet by credit card (Stripe) at the time of purchase or when an auction ends. The Buyers Premium fee is separate from the item price, which the buyer pays directly to the seller after the Buyers Premium has been paid.
