Worked example
A car sells for £30,000 through the influencer package. The seller pays £1,050 (3.5%). The partner who brought the buyer receives £840 and Give You A Bell keeps £210.
Selling at auction
Set a starting bid and a hidden reserve. It only sells if bidding reaches your reserve.
Seller pays
£39 + 2%
Listing fee, plus a percentage of the winning bid only if it sells.
Buyer pays
1% buyer fee
Added to the winning bid. Winner pays a 10% deposit (max £5,000) within 24 hours.
Fair ending
A bid in the last 2 minutes adds 2 minutes, so nobody wins by sniping. Only verified buyers can bid.
