A Buyer who purchases an Item through a Sale shall pay directly to the Seller of such Item the amount of the Full Purchase Price or the Total Auction Sales Price, as applicable pursuant to the type of Sale.  It is the responsibility of the Seller and Buyer to determine the amount of any Taxes and to collect, report and pay the correct amount of such Taxes to the appropriate governmental authority.  It is also the responsibility of the Seller and Buyer to comply in all respects with any applicable import/export rules and regulations with respect to all Sales.  Buyers and Sellers should be aware that there may be compensating use or other taxes or fees imposed on a Sale based on the Buyer’s or the Seller’s place of residence or citizenship.  If there is any question concerning applicable Taxes or import/export rules and regulations, Buyers and Sellers should consult their tax or legal advisors.  We assume no responsibility for the determination of Taxes or for the collection, reporting or payment of Taxes or any other amounts due in connection with Sales.  Accepted forms of payment, shipments, deliveries, returns, exchanges, refunds any all other matters concerning Sales shall be governed by the Seller Policies; provided, however, that each Seller shall honor our Return Policy for all Sales.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Polices shall supersede the Return Policy with respect to the return of Items if and only if the application of the Seller Policies will extend the time in which the return of an Item is permissible under the Return Policy and will provide a Full Refund to the Buyer.  Under no circumstances shall Buyer be entitled to any refund from us, regardless of Seller’s compliance with the Return Policy or the Seller Policies.  

(c)	No Seller or Buyer shall list for sale or auction, sell, auction, purchase or consummate any other transaction relating to any Item on the Website unless such Item is in full compliance with our Prohibited and Restricted Items Policy located at the end of this document.  We reserve the right to withdraw, for any reason and in our sole discretion, any Item prior to its Sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

(d)	All Buyers and Sellers hereby acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer.  Instead, our Websites are simply a venue to allow our Members to offer, sell, and buy Items in fixed price formats and auction-style formats.    We have not seen or evaluated the Items being offered for sale or auction on our Websites.  Additionally, we have not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of statements made with respect to any Items offered for sale or auction, and our services in connection with maintaining our Websites do not include such responsibilities.  All inquiries relating to Items offered for sale or auction on our Websites should be directed to the Seller of such Items and a Buyer should resolve all questions and concerns prior to bidding on or purchasing an Item.  Sellers are solely responsible for the descriptions of the Items, as well as any statements concerning the value, characteristics, quality, authenticity, condition, title or other information about the Items.  No statement regarding condition, kind, value or quality of an Item shall be construed to be an expressed or implied warranty, representation or assumption of liability by us.  We shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to inaccurate or incomplete information or otherwise with respect to the acts or omissions of Sellers, and as between the Buyer and us, the Buyer agrees to assume such risks.  We do not act as an agent for either the Seller or the Buyer in the transactions that take place via the Websites and we shall have no liability for or with respect to any acts or omissions of either the Seller or the Buyer in such transactions.  We are not responsible for any liabilities, costs or other issues arising from Sales for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, those arising from (i) intellectual property infringement actions or (ii) technical problems, malfunctions or disruptions in service.  Appropriate law enforcement agencies may be notified of conduct that is believed to be a violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, all laws applicable based on the Buyer’s or the Seller’s place of residence or citizenship.  We will cooperate with law enforcement investigations to ensure that those suspected of violating such applicable laws, rules and regulations are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

(e)	Once made, Sales are binding on the Seller and are not retractable.  If a Buyer agrees to purchase an Item in a Sale, the Seller of such Item will be responsible for, upon receipt of the Full Purchase Price for such Item, delivering such Item to the Buyer (i) in accordance with the Seller Policies and (ii) in the condition represented by such Seller to such Buyer.  Each Seller is responsible for honoring and strictly adhering to their Seller Policies and the Return Policy, as applicable pursuant to this Section 9.  We will provide a system to capture information necessary to facilitate Sales.  This means that we will administer the collection of all pertinent Buyer Information from the Buyer and forward this information via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to the Seller.  Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, for each Item sold in a Sale by such Seller on the Websites, we will provide to such Seller, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, all Buyer Information provided by the Buyer for such Item for the sole purposes of such Seller (a) confirming the accuracy of such Buyer Information and (b) obtaining authorization for such Sale through such Buyer’s bank or credit card company.  Each Seller agrees not use any Buyer Information provided by us for any purpose other than those expressly provided herein.  If any dispute arises between Seller and Buyer, including, without limitation, a dispute relating to such Seller’s use of the registration and payment information provided to such Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentences, such Seller releases us (and our affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from all claims, liabilities, demands and damages (including, without limitation, actual and consequential damages) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.  Each Seller acknowledges that they will be given an online statement of their sales at the end of each month.  They will be given a period of time (approximately 10-15 days) to dispute any charges.  If they have a discrepancy they can notify our Accounting Department through our online system.  On their billing date, their credit card will be charged for the amount of the invoice.  
Please note:  If a seller sales an item through auction and discovers he no longer has the item in stock, he is responsible for paying the buyer’s premium on that item.  It is the responsibility of the seller to ensure items listed at auction are available.

 (f)	There are no fees associated with browsing Items for sale or auction on the Websites.  Once made, Sales are binding on the Buyer and are not retractable.  If a Buyer agrees to purchase an Item in a Sale, such Buyer will be responsible for the Full Purchase Price of the Item.  Each Buyer is responsible for reading carefully the Seller Policies for an Item prior to purchasing such Item.  All returns, refunds, exchanges, communications and disputes of any kind between Buyer and Seller relating to an Item shall be governed by the Seller Policies for such Item; provided, however, that the original Buyer of any Item may exercise their rights pursuant to the Return Policy as applicable in accordance with this Section 9.  Only a Buyer who has made acceptable payment arrangements for an Item in accordance with the applicable Seller’s Policies will be permitted to buy such Item through the Websites.  Each Buyer hereby authorizes us, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, to communicate the Buyer Information provided by such Buyer in order to purchase an Item to the Seller of such Item in order for such Seller to (a) confirm the accuracy of such information and (b) obtain authorization for such transaction through such Buyer’s bank or credit card company.  If any dispute arises between Seller and Buyer, including, without limitation, a dispute relating to such Seller’s use of the Buyer Information provided to such Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such Buyer releases us (and our affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from all claims, liabilities, demands and damages (including, without limitation, actual and consequential damages) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

(i)	The following additional terms and conditions shall apply to Items listed and sold through the Live Auction.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 9(f)(i) and the remaining provisions of this Section 9 with respect to Sales in which the Item was sold via auction, the terms of this Section 9(f)(i) shall control.  For Sales involving auctions, the Buyer’s Premium shall be added to the price of each Item to reach the Total Auction Sales Price.  The Buyer's Premium is non-refundable except in the case of Items returned pursuant to the Return Policy.  By bidding through our Live Auction, each Buyer agrees to accept our policies.  Buyers may leave absentee bids for an auction on which they wish to bid in accordance with the terms posted on the Website where such auction shall take place.  The Auctioneer will bid for the absentee Buyer and such bids will be displayed during the auction.  All Buyers must register for an auction prior to bidding in such auction on our Websites.  Please register to bid well in advance of the start time of the auction.  Neither us nor our suppliers or affiliates will be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bid(s).  Absentee bids must be submitted electronically on the applicable Website (other third-party sites where items may be displayed such as Proxibid) during the preview period for each auction.  All Items listed for auction via our Live Auction are offered subject to a reserve.  A reserve is a confidential minimum price below which an Item will not be sold.  We will act to protect the reserve by bidding through the Auctioneer.  The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Item below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller and may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve.  This may be done by placing absentee bids, consecutive bids, or by placing bids in response to Buyers.  The Buyer who enters the highest bid in an auction on our Websites shall be the winning Buyer for such auction and if any dispute arises between two or more bidding Buyers, the Auctioneer shall decide the winning Buyer.  The winning Buyer for an Item shall communicate with the Seller for such Item within three (3) days of the completion of the auction.  Complete payment is due upon receipt of notification of a successful bid and must be received by the Seller no later than 10 days following the auction. If an issue arises and the buyer has not fulfilled their required communication with the seller, the seller may release that item for sale in another venue and the original bidder will still be required to pay the buyer’s premium.
