Seller Fees

Simple, transparent pricing. You only pay when your item sells — there are no monthly fees and no charge to list.

What it costs to sell

Fee	Amount	When it applies
Listing fee	Free	Always free to list an item.
Unsold items	$0	No fee if your item doesn't sell — relist for free.

Final value fee

Charged only when your item sells — the same rate applies to auctions, Buy It Now, and accepted offers. The rate drops as the sale price rises:

Sale price	Final value fee

Example: Sell a rifle for $1,000 and your final value fee is 1.75% — just $17.50. You keep $982.50, plus whatever you charge for shipping.

Getting paid

Buyers pay you directly — ShootingBid never handles the money. Set how you accept payment (card payment link, Zelle, cashier's check, money order and more) in Dashboard → Account Settings → Getting Paid. Your winning buyer sees your instructions on their order; when the money arrives, click Mark Payment Received and you can then add tracking. Always confirm payment has cleared before shipping to the buyer's FFL dealer.

Tips to sell for more

Start your auction at a fair, attractive price to draw early bids.
Use clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles.
Write an accurate, detailed description to build buyer confidence.
Respond quickly to messages and offers.
