Payments can be made via credit card, PayPal or account credit. All credit card, debit card and PayPal payments will incur a 3% service fee. Any payment method used will be held on file. We reserve the right to refuse credit card payments on any lot. All payments must be made online at auctionofchampions.com.

Payment is due within 10 days after the auction ends. If you win items on multiple days, all items must be paid within 10 days of the oldest item in your cart. Example: If you win an item on March 1st and another item on March 9th, payment is due on both items by March 11th (10 days after the first item won). If your cart is unpaid after 10 days your bidding privileges will be temporarily revoked until the past due items are paid. After 14 days we will attempt to charge any credit card that your account has on file. If the card is declined, the items in your cart will be canceled (NO EXCEPTIONS) and relisted.

If an item or items goes unpaid, the bidder is responsible for a restocking fee equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the auction invoice total. The restocking fee is assessed under these terms at the sole discretion of Auction of Champions. Failure to pay for items in full will result in bidding privileges being revoked and a personal lien will be placed on the non-paying bidder. Auction of Champions will notify all other auction companies of the non-paying bidders liability.

Each account will have a bidding liability. You will not be able to place any additional bids if your liability has been reached. Ex: If your liability is $1000 and you have $800 currently won or winning, you will be able to place bids up to $200. If you place a bid for $200 and are the current high bidder, your liability will now be $1000 and you will not be able to place additional bids until you either pay for the items in your cart or you are outbid which would then lower your liability under the $1000 example. Liabilities will be increased based on payment history and having a credit card on file. Auction of Champions reserves the right to refuse to accept any or all bids by a registered user.

All new users will have a $1000 liability on their account. Once a new users liability (items won plus current winning bids) reaches $1000, their bidding ability will be turned off until their payment is completed or they are outbid on current winning items.
