Too Many Fees
After winning the item at a fair price, once the BP kicked in (a very high 30 %) and then a high shipping fee, then an online fee and a handling fee !) the final total was almost twice what the actual item initially cost! Ridiculous. I won't be using this auction site again for any auctions with such a crazy high BP and all those other fees. Not worth it unless you can win something at well below FMV.

PBA's Buyer's Premium is 25 % but Live Auctioneers charges 5 % plus an exhorbitant listing fee. The additional 5 % is added to the invoice. They have also required us to use their Live Payments system and they add processing fees and sales tax for all states. Most of the additional fees are from Live Auctioneers. We run auctions on our own platform as well.

Very Professional.
Very impressed with the speed of the invoicing. The packaging and shipping were exceptionally well done. I love not having to arrange for separate shipping companies.

Shipping Trouble!
Due to improper packing, three posters were ruined. The insurance refund process was not easy.

Among the best auction houses
I've purchased/won several books in PBA auctions over the years, never had an issue of any kind and the process is always easy and reliable. Their books are always well described, well packed, and quickly shipped. Payment process also easy and they do in-house shipping. Five stars across the board.
