What is the Buyer's Fee on a Heritage Auction?

Typetone

OK, this will make me sound like an idiot, but I am confused.

I thought the buyer's fee for a Heritage signature auction purchase was 15%. I won two pieces bidding live through ebay. I got my email invoice and it listed a 20% buyers fee. I reread Heritage's terms and it say internet bids are 15%.

Anyone know what gives?

Greg,

The buyer's fee is 15% if you bid through the Heritage site. If you place a bid through eBay, the buyer's fee is 20%. It states this on the live ebay page.

Greg:

First off, interesting that you got an invoice. I won a coin in their Long Beach auction and finally had to call to see what I owed them. I thought for sure they would send an invoice, but there was apparently no hurry about it because as of today, I have yet to receive an invoice. And, I only called and paid for the coin yesterday. Second, when I called, the receptionist asked if I had won a coin from the Heritage site or from ebay. I think that you get directed to a different person depending on whether you won on the ebay site or not, but I don't know this for sure because I won from the Heritage site...with its 15% buyer's fee....

P.S.: Greg, I've edited my message to add in honor of Quattro that your question didn't make you sound like an idiot, though it did make you sound like a maggot

I bid $470 for a coin in todays action of commems. The winning bid was $475. Not that it matters, but I thought it was in $10 increments at that price. Ant thoughts?

I believe a floor bidder can bid in 1/2 increments but can't bid
again (that would be there last bid)

Thanks Tim. That explains that. I would of bid higher on ebay but have been consumed watching the war. Oh, well. Would love to find some PL classic commems.
