What payment methods do you accept for Buyers that are located overseas?

What does it cost me to buy on Liquidation.com?
We do not charge a fee to register and browse through our marketplace. As a winning bidder, you pay the final auction price, a Buyer's Premium, and appropriate shipping fees, which are collected by us prior to goods being shipped from the seller's location.
What is a Buyer's Premium?
A Buyer's Premium is a standard auctioneering fee that helps cover the cost associated with sourcing products, marketing auctions, running the marketplace and managing services such as payment collection, fulfillment, shipping and inspection. Unless otherwise stated in the auction, our standard Buyer's Premium is 5% of the final bid price.
When is my payment due?
Payment by winning bidder is due immediately upon the closing of the auction. This payment includes the full amount of the winning bid, the Buyer's Premium, and finalized shipping charges. Payment must be received within 2 business days of auction closing to avoid any penalty and/or cancellation.
Is there a penalty if I don't make my payment on time?
There is a cancellation fee applied to any late payments. This fee is 15% of the auction lot price or $200, whichever is greater. If we do not receive the funds or payment within the specified timeframe, your transaction will be aborted and your account will be suspended.
How do I pay?
If you are the winning bidder of an auction, you will receive an e-mail notification with payment instructions as soon as the auction is closed. You may pay for your auctions online by logging into My Account and click on Pending Transactions in the My Account tools.
U.S. buyers may pay via wire transfer, PayPal, or credit card, with a limit of $5000 per transaction for PayPal or credit card purchases. First-time buyers may use the same methods of payment, but they may not use a credit card or PayPal to purchase used or salvage assets until they have completed their first transaction. Any transaction over $5000 must be paid via wire transfer.
All international buyers must pay by wire transfer.
How do I pay by wire transfer?
A wire transfer is an electronic payment service for transferring funds by wire from one bank account to another over the Federal Reserve Wire Network. This is the fastest and easiest method of payment.

This email will include the name of our bank, the account number, and the transaction information needed to perform a wire transfer. Be sure to print out this email and bring it with you to your bank.

Why don't I see the credit card information I entered when placing my bid?
The credit card information you entered before you placed your bid was required for verification purposes only. Credit card information is encrypted for your security. The credit card is not available when making payment, as it would jeopardize the security of your information.
Why am I unable to use my credit card or Pay Pal for transactions over $5,000?
It is our policy to accept credit card and Pay Pal payments for transactions with a grand total of up to $5,000. If your transaction is above $5000, you are required to send us a wire transfer (instructions will be emailed to you if you are the winning bidder).
I am a Canadian buyer, why can't I use my PayPal account?
We only accept payment via PayPal from our U.S. customers because we do not have the infrastructure to verify addresses outside of the U.S.. In order to qualify for payment via PayPal, the user must supply a U.S. address for their contact, billing and shipping information, and the customer must pay for the transaction in U.S. dollars using a U.S. account. We do allow our Buyers to pay via wire transfer, which is a fast and easy method of payment.
