Helmut I'm sure that HA will try and justify the increase by saying they are covering costs on selling low priced items. However, anyone who bids on their auctions should take the BP into account and they should also factor in shipping and other costs. It doesn't take much to work out that a $29.00 buyer's premium is a massive deterrent.

Just like any other Corporation, their only goal is to make MORE MONEY, so they will raise their fees whenever they feel they can get away with it. Ebay is the exact same thing: First, they were constantly raising their final value fees, then they started cashing in on the shipping, then they wanted a portion of the sales tax, now they force their sellers to send their money to ebay, and they are course charging for this 'service' as well. I'm 57, so I will hopefully be gone before the corporations have completed their takeover and succeeded in killing off every small business in the world.

I guess they are doing it to cover the costs of selling low value items. BP - Buyer's Premium per Lot A Buyer's Premium will be added to each successful bid. For this sale: 20% of the successful bid (minimum $29) per lot. Please see #2 in our Terms & Conditions<https://movieposters.ha.com/c/ref/terms-and-conditions.zx?view=terms>.

Did I miss an email or something? Is this going to affect your bidding strategy at that site? Just wondering.
