New Seller Fees
WhiskyAuction.Com Lowers Seller Fees for High-Value Consignments
Rendsburg, Februar 2, 2025 – WhiskyAuction.Com has introduced a new fee structure that makes selling high-quality spirits even more attractive. With tiered seller fees that decrease for higher-priced bottles, WhiskyAuction.Com aims to offer optimal conditions for its customers. One thing remains unchanged: there will continue to be no fixed listing fee.
„Our goal is to specifically support sellers of premium bottles while simultaneously enriching the selection for buyers,“ explains Klaus Rosenfeld, Co-Founder of WhiskyAuction.Com. „With the new fee structure, we are creating a more transparent and fairer model that provides additional incentives for sellers.“
New Seller Fee Structure Effective February 2, 2025
| Hammer price in Euro | Seller Fee |
| 1 - 5 € | 1€ |
| 6 - 49 € | 15% |
| 50 - 499 € | 10% |
| ≥ 500 € | 5% |
 | |
The new seller fee structure applies starting from Whisky Auction 2025-04. For Rhum, Cognac, and Armagnac, it will be valid from Auction RCA2025-02.
Why This Change?
The new fee structure has been introduced to offer particularly attractive conditions for sellers, especially for high-value consignments. At the same time, it makes the selection for buyers even more diverse and exciting—without any changes to the buyer's fee, which remains at 10%. Additionally, the previous bonus program QQB is being discontinued.
„We want to provide the best possible support for both sellers and buyers across all price segments,“ emphasizes Klaus Rosenfeld. „The tiered fees offer a fair solution for all parties involved.“
