How selling works
Identify the right service
Confirm that the auctioneer or consignment service handles your item type and Canadian location.
Submit item information
Use the official enquiry process with photographs, condition and ownership information. An enquiry is not acceptance.
Agree written terms
Review commission, reserve, insurance, expenses, settlement and unsold-item responsibilities.
Arrange accepted intake
Only ship or deliver goods after receiving the service’s acceptance and instructions.
Track the sale and settlement
Keep the agreement and reconcile proceeds against the statement and agreed charges.
What will you actually keep?
Plan your own costs before deciding whether a sale is worthwhile.
Sale proceedsminusselling costsminusitem costequalsestimated profit
Platform costs
Check the charges that apply to your sale.
Postage
Include any delivery costs you pay.
Packaging
Allow for protective materials.
Other costs
Consider returns and other relevant costs.
Auction-house commissions and platform business charges are different. Request terms for your actual seller route.
No platform-specific fee calculator is provided here. Use current official guidance and costs you have checked yourself.
Shipping & packaging
Arrange intake and return responsibilities with the auctioneer, not from a generic buyer shipping page.
Getting paid
For a consignment, settlement comes under the auctioneer’s agreement. Network bidding access is not seller approval.
Buyer questions & returns
Review the rules and responsibilities for your transaction before agreeing terms. Keep a record of the listing and relevant communications.
