What it costs to bid,
what it costs to consign.
A short page, by design. Everything you'll be charged on FindAFoal — and there is nothing else.
Buyer's premium
A single percentage added to the hammer price, scaling down at the higher tiers. There is no separate registration fee, no card-handling fee, and no internet-bidding surcharge.
| Hammer price | Premium |
|---|---|
| Up to $50k | 8% |
| $50k — $250k | 7% |
| $250k — $1M | 6% |
| Above $1M | 5% |
Currency tiers above are quoted in USD. The same percentages apply to GBP, EUR, and AUD lots, scaled to the lot's listed currency.

Where the money sits
All sale proceeds are held in regulated escrow at the point of hammer. Funds are released to the consignor only after the buyer's veterinary contingency window has passed and the registration paperwork has been transferred to the buyer's name.
If a buyer's independent veterinary inspection returns findings inconsistent with the consignment report, the buyer may withdraw at no cost beyond the independent inspection fee. This is the contingency window the lot's terms publicly disclose, and FindAFoal's job is to enforce it.
