I wanted to see if when buying an item through PWCC’s fixed price section , would I need to pay extra fees+taxes on top the accepted / buy now price ? I do know that the buyers premium is already included with the price but if there’s any other fees & taxes on top of that please let me know as I don’t want too be surprised if someone takes my offer at the check out ! Thank you in advance for helping me out !
if you want the item shipped to you, you’d pay shipping + your state’s sales tax rate.

The price you see includes Boomers Premium already.
You can have it sent to your vault for free.
After 90 days, send to your house for 1% fee plus shipping cost

Just too confirm ,
The price I pay that includes the premium 20% is all that I pay if I send it to my vault ? No tax , no other fees until I decide after 90 days to ship out ?
Yes, it should say “buyer’s premium included” PWCC is so confusing with this. Wish they just did seller fees instead of both.
Here is an example. The card cost $100 on the website. If you buy it, your cost will be $100 for the item, 1% fulfillment fee, and probably $5 for shipping. So $106 total.

When you ship it out to Canada 
, you are almost 100% guaranteed to pay 15-20% customs fees on the declared value
shipping too Canada hurts 
Would you know if I can combine the funds I have at pwcc plus use another form of accepted payment to pay at the check out with pwcc ?
You can pay your bills in chunks from different sources, yes
Thank you 
Honestly, there is really nothing antiquated about Buyer’s Premium. More or less every auction house is going to be Hammer + Juice, whether you are talking trading cards, antiques, art, firearms, automobiles, etc. It’s a very transparent way for the buyer and seller to both know exactly what they are getting/paying.
Ebay is simple. Why add complexity? When I was bidding on Eevee Scramble, you have to do math first or open the 2nd input before deciding what “bid” to place. It’s a PoS system

If it makes you feel any better, whether the juice is added before or after does not matter. 99% of people don’t struggle with basic math and they still know what they’re willing to pay/bid
I can assure you that the reason this BP system exists is because it’s a psychological trick that gets people to pay more. What’s the point of not being 100% upfront about the price otherwise?
Even if its a common bidding system, it’s still predatory and anti-consumer. Designed to extract more money from you as a buyer.

Yes, that is precisely the job of the auction house; to extract the maximum amount from the buyer. Their customers are the sellers, not the buyers. If a particular auction house doesn’t openly display hammer+premium (pwcc), that is the responsibility of the buyer to know what they are going to have to pay.

An auction house with 0 buyers and 1 million sellers has zero revenue. In general, the interests of the auction house are aligned with the seller but to say the buyer is not a customer is just illogical. Part of the reason why ebay is such a successful business is because they are very buyer-focused
Just because an auction house is designed to extract money from buyers doesn’t mean a BP isn’t predatory or anti-consumer. In fact, it’s a great reason to be skeptical of the BP as a consumer.
You’re free to put it all on buyer responsibility but personally I cannot get behind a tatic that intentionally obfuscates the interaction, reduces transparency and preys on human psychology.
It’s no better than this “Honest to Goodness Fee” tacked on at the end of my meal to allow the restaurant to extract extra money for me in a way I didn’t feel was fully transparency when reading their menu

I hear you, but I don’t think there is anything predatory or anti-consumer about BP, unlike that restaurant fee.
And my apologies to @eeveeteam. I didn’t mean to be an ass, but the argument that “math is hard” is just not a good one IMO.
We can disagree that’s totally fine
