Questions
Frequently asked
Can my rank go down?
Yes. Your rank is set fresh every month from the previous month only. A quiet month means Bronze the next month, and a busy month moves you straight back up.
I already have orders in progress. Which fee applies?
Each order keeps the fee shown when you placed it, until it is finished. The new fee applies only to orders you place after your rank changes.
Where can I see my current rank?
On the Overview page of My Account, next to your name. We also email you whenever your rank changes.
Do forwarding orders count?
No. Only items we win or purchase for you through our Auction and Shopping services count.
