Invoicing procedures

The selling currency is EUR but invoicing is possible also in USD or CNY. The exchange rate for USD and CNY changes during the auction according to the changes in the money market. The Company takes no responsibility for the changes in invoicing rates.

The invoices can be created online in Buyer Invoicing which can be accessed via our website or by emailing invoicing instructions.

After an auction

Customers have until the prompt day to pay for their purchases free of interest. If the goods are not paid by the prompt date, interest will be charged/interest will begin to accrue.

Once we receive your payment, we will release your skins for shipment. As all skins are sold FCA, customers are kindly requested to make arrangements with one of our co-operating forwarding agents regarding the shipping and handling of their goods.
