What makes up the service fee?
These are fees for VT Consign’s work. Listing assistance and order support are separate from any charges applied by the selling platform. The calculator is an example, not a platform fee schedule or a sales-proceeds estimate.
| Fee item | Calculation basis | What to agree first |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Billable listing records × rate per record | Listing definition, accounts, repeat publishing and included revisions |
| Sales management fee | Selected scope and management period | Number of items, enquiries, negotiation scope and operating hours |
| Order follow-up fee | Orders included in the service × rate per order | Start and end points, combined orders, cancellations and refunds |
| Additional service fees | Additional work you explicitly approve | Exceptional aftercare, special content preparation and work beyond existing permissions |
| Physical handling and channel charges | Photography, storage, packing, shipping and platform deductions as agreed | What is included and what you, the warehouse or another provider pays separately |

Questions about charges
Is the listing fee due if nothing sells?
Listing fees cover the work completed as agreed; a sale is not the default condition for charging. Failed publishing, cancellation or an unworkable arrangement must have agreed treatment before work starts.
Do I pay for follow-up after paying the listing fee?
If you ask us to handle work after a sale, the agreed follow-up fees apply. Listing-only clients who fulfil their own orders are not automatically enrolled in follow-up.
What if an order is cancelled or returned?
The service agreement defines completed work, the cancellation stage and any exceptional aftercare. Cancellation is not automatically free, and extra fees are not added without prior agreement.
Do you also charge a sales commission?
Listing, management and follow-up are quoted separately; commission is not a default charge. If a specific physical consignment arrangement includes commission, its basis, rate, included services and refund adjustments must be listed separately.
Service fees and sales proceeds are reconciled separately
With your own account and payment arrangements, we reconcile our fees against the work records. If we handle sales, reconciliation also covers revenue, platform deductions, refunds, agreed charges and proceeds payable to you.
Payment timing, reconciliation periods, currency and any conversion charges are defined in the quote and service agreement. A completed sale does not mean funds are immediately available.
