The Market Decides. You Benefit.
We don't believe in complicated pricing structures that only benefit the platform. BidSpace operates on a single, straightforward commission model — aligned entirely with your success.
You pay nothing until a winning bid is confirmed and paid. Our 12% commission is deducted from the winning bid amount before your net earnings are transferred. If no bid meets your minimum, there is no charge.
Pass-through costs — permits, printing, and installation — are invoiced separately to the winning buyer and do not affect your net payout.
Every listing on BidSpace displays the following cost components clearly before you place a bid:
| Cost Component | Charged To | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Winning Bid Amount | Buyer | Set by the auction market |
| Applicable Permits | Buyer | Passed through at cost; itemized separately |
| Printing Estimate | Buyer | Based on owner's approved supplier rates |
| Installation Estimate | Buyer | Based on owner's approved supplier rates |
| Buyer Account Registration | Buyer | Free |
| Deposit Loading | Buyer | Free (M-Pesa, bank transfer, card accepted) |
| Losing Bid Deposit Refund | — | Automatic; full amount; 24-hour processing |
No hidden buyer fees. No platform charge on top of the winning bid. The price you see is the price you pay.
As BidSpace scales, owners with high listing volumes will have access to subscription tools including advanced analytics, priority listing placement, and dedicated account management.
