Viewing, Bidding, and Buying items is FREE. Items that are listed and sell on the LILY AUCTION incur the following fees. There are only 3 types of fees when you sell on the LILY AUCTION, a Fixed Charges when you list your item,  a Final Calculated Charge based on a percentage of your final sale amount and and Upload Image Charge when you use our limited Image Uploader and Image Hosting service. 

• Note - Fees pay for the right to sell an item(s) on the LILY AUCTION. You do not purchase any exclusive rights to a Web page on the Lily Auction. Banner advertisements may appear on all auction pages.

1) Fixed (Listing) Charge when you list your item:

There is a $0.20 listing charge for listing any Standard Auction item on the Lily Auction. This is a fixed $0.20 fee that is non-refundable, even if your item does not sell. However,  if you re-list an AUCTION item in the Lily Auction for the same or lower amount, there will be no listing fee. You will be able to re-list an item that doesn't sell from your closed auctions lists. There is no listing fee for Reverse Auctions.

2 ) Calculated (Closing) Charges at Item Close:

At the end of an auction, a seller  will be charged a Calculated charge which is based on the final value of your item. The Final Value of an item, is the closing bid amount. In the case of Dutch Auctions, the Final Value is determined by the lowest successful bid multiplied by the quantity of items sold. In a Reverse Auction, the seller is the winning bidder, and will be charged the Closing Fee.

The Calculated Charge is determined by calculating a percentage of the Final Value of the item at the Auction Close:

• 4% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go up to $9.99
• 5% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $10.00 up to $119.99
• 6% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $120.00 up to $599.99
• 5% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $600.00 up to $999.99
• 4% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $1000.00 up to $2599.99
• 3% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $2600.00 up to $3999.99
• 2% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go from $4000.00 up to $9999.99
• 1% of the amount of the high bid (at auction close) if the bids go over $10,000.00

You will not be charged a Calculated Final Value Fee if:

• There were no bids on your item, OR

3) Upload Image Charge (FREE):

Image uploading is free. When you use our limited Image Uploader and Image Hosting service there is no fee. The image will remain accessible for 60 days after which it is automatically deleted.

Relisting Item(s):

One free listing for Auction items that do not sell the first time if listed within 60 days of auction close. This does not apply to Instant Buy Items (which can already be listed for 30 days).

If your auction item does not sell, you can re-list your item, only once, in the LILY AUCTION by going to the View Closed Auctions link, selecting the appropriate auction in the 'Items with no bids' list and using the re-list item button at the bottom of the page. If your item did not sell, and not more than 60 days has passed since it closed, there will be no charge to re-list it once. After it is re-listed, the item will be moved to the archived auction list where  you can re-list it as many times as you like and be charged the standard listing fee.

Listing Items in Appropriate Categories:
Please be sure that you select the appropriate category to list your items in. For example, all new introduction listings must be introduced within the current calendar year. After January 15, the previous year's introductions are no longer allowed in this category. Items listed inappropriately may be removed without reimbursement of the listing fee. If you are not sure about what category to list your item in, please contact the auctioneer.

Credit Request for Calculated Final Value (Closing) Charge:

The Calculated Charges are removed under certain circumstances which are outlined below. The Fixed Charges are non-refundable, even when the item receives no bids.

As a seller, you may request a Calculated Charge Credit for the following reasons:

To make a Calculated Charge Credit Request and/or Void an Auction:

• Please allow at least seven (7) business days for a bidder to respond to your attempts to contact them.
• You must submit your request within 60 days of the end of an auction. Under most circumstances, the LILY AUCTION is unable to process credit requests received more than 60 days after the end of an auction.
• Please provide your username, the defaulting bidder's username, the auction name and number and a brief explanation by using the "Support/Questions" form. The "Support/Questions" link can always be found at the bottom of most Lily Auction pages.

The following processing policies apply:

• The information provided in your credit request will be used to identify Deadbeat Bidders, bidders who win an auction but never follow through with the transaction. It is suggested that you leave negative feedback for deadbeat bidders. Consistent deadbeat bidding will result in being banned from the LILY AUCTION.
• Making false credit claims is a form of fee avoidance. Sellers found to be guilty of this offense will be suspended.
• Under normal circumstances, the LILY AUCTION will apply credit to your account within 3-5 business days following receipt of your request.
• If we have any questions about your final value fee credit request we will contact you.
