Frequently asked questions
Is VAT always added?
Klaravik's sellers are businesses in Finland and therefore VAT is added to all items unless otherwise stated. Exceptions may include for example bankruptcy cases. The VAT status of each item is displayed clearly when you are logged in as a buyer on Klaravik.
What is reserve price?
Reserve price is the lowest price that the client has accepted in advance. At each auction, you can see whether the reserve price has been reached or not. If the reserve price is not reached, you will be contacted by Klaravik shortly, with the aim of getting the deal through. Keep in mind that all bids on Klaravik are binding, regardless of whether the reserve price has been reached or not.
How much does it cost to buy at Klaravik?
There is a fee, the buyer's premium, added to each auction you win. The size of the fee is shown on each individual auction. You see the buyer's premium for each auction when you are logged in as a customer at Klaravik. Note that VAT is always added to your bid unless otherwise stated.
What is an auto bid versus a manual bid?
An auto bid is a way for you to automatically participate in a bidding process. You enter an amount you are willing to pay for an item and then automatic bids are placed for you up to your maximum bid - but only if necessary. Your maximum bid is hidden from other bidders during the auction. Placed auto bids are indicated by an "A" after the placed bid in the bid history. You need to update a manual bid every time someone outbids you. Keep in mind that an auto bid in the same level as a later manual bid will always lead the auction - because it was placed first.
