At MedHatBids.com, we truly understand the frustrations that come with online auctions—those hidden costs that sneak up on you and the hassle of coordinating with buyers who may not show up as promised. You’re not alone in feeling disheartened when your hard-earned sales don’t match your expectations, or when your carefully arranged plans fall through.
So when I started MedHatBids.com, it was to battle the issues above for myself and others:
COSTS: At MedHatBids.com, we believe in fostering a transparent and supportive auction experience for all our members! We ensure that all costs are clearly outlined from the very beginning, eliminating any unexpected surprises and confusion. For our sellers, you can trust that you will receive the Hammer Price minus a 15% commission, and we require all buyers to settle their payments promptly within 48 hours after the auction concludes. Rest assured, sellers will receive their funds through e-transfer within 3-4 business days, reflecting our commitment to reliability and trust within our community. Buyers, we invite you to join in the excitement by registering with an active credit card, with all associated costs detailed in our Terms and Conditions at the top of every auction page. This includes a 15% Buyer Premium, a 3% fee for credit card transactions, and a modest $5.00 fee for shipping materials, with shipping costs calculated based on weight and box size. We are here to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone involved! The $5 fee is only for each shipped box not for each lot won. Contact us if you have any questions concerning costs associated with our Auctions.
The Hassle: At MedHatBids.com, we believe that selling your items should be as effortless as possible, and we’re here to take the hassle out of the online buying and selling experience for you! With our dedicated service, we offer two convenient local pickup days that occur the weekend after our sale concludes, ensuring a smooth transition for everyone involved. If the item requires shipping, worry not—we handle everything from securely boxing your items to shipping them promptly once full payment is received, typically by the following Monday. We exclusively use Canada Post to deliver your treasures throughout Canada and the United States, employing Tracked Packet – USA for shipments across the border to keep us informed in case of any customs delays. For Canadian addresses, we always aim for the most economical shipping options unless you specify otherwise. The best part? You can relax while we take care of all the arrangements! Simply reach out to us, drop off your items, and we’ll handle the photography, detailed listings, auction management, payment processing, and e-transfers directly to you. Enjoy a seamless experience as you declutter and make space for new memories!
