To help us maintain our strict quality standards, we charge a Buyer Protection fee on every Catawiki purchase. The fee is 9% of the final bid amount plus €3 and includes any applicable VAT. The fee also applies if you're exempt from VAT.

We’ll notify you as soon as the seller ships your object. You can also track your object in your order details page. If you can’t find the tracking info or it’s taking longer than the estimated shipping time, we encourage you to message the seller directly. 

Sellers calculate shipping costs when they submit an object for auction. These costs vary depending on the shipping company the seller uses, shipping method (registered, insured, parcel post, etc.), packing and handling, and any applicable fees. If you are in a different country than the seller, this might also include customs fees. If you have questions about specific shipping costs, you can reach out to the seller directly.

To keep bidding on Catawiki fair for everyone, you can’t cancel or withdraw a bid. Each bid is binding unless you are outbid.
