Auxilot
One subscription covers listings, platform access, and seller tools. Buyer premium and transaction fees are disclosed on every lot.
Subscription tiers
Basic
Growth
Professional
Enterprise
Non-subscriber (pay-as-you-go)
Upload fee
$15 / lot
↑ from $5
Reserve fee
8% of reserve
Uplift fee
18% of uplift
Unsold lot fee
$15 / lot
Upload fee is charged upfront at the time of listing, regardless of outcome. Unsold lot fee applies only if the lot is withdrawn or fails to meet its reserve price — meaning a lot that doesn't sell costs $30 total ($15 upload + $15 unsold).
Non-subscriber rates are intentionally uncompetitive above 1–2 lots. Two failed lots already exceeds the $19 Basic subscription — making the value of subscribing clear within a single auction.
