Free bidding and when you pay
Knalveilingen is not a "bidding fee auction" or penny auction. Placing a bid is, and always will be, completely free. The following principles apply:
- Participating in an auction is free. You do not need bid credits, bid packages, or a subscription to place a bid.
- Placing a bid never costs anything, no matter how often you bid or are outbid.
- You only pay if you actually win an auction.
- Before you confirm a bid, we always show the total amount you would owe if you win: the winning bid, the buyer's commission, and any applicable VAT.
- The buyer's commission is not a separate "bidding fee" — it is part of the final purchase price, which you pay only if you win the auction.
- Any applicable VAT is clearly shown in advance, per lot.
- There are no hidden costs for participating in an auction or placing a bid.
