HOW IT WORKS
Reserve Auction House is designed to make bidding intuitive, transparent, and secure — allowing you to focus on acquiring exceptional wines with confidence.
1. What is a buyer’s premium?
A 17% buyer’s premium is added to the final hammer price of all lots purchased through auction. This premium goes towards the costs of conducting the auction, allowing WineBid to offer a proprietary multi-point inspection of each wine listed, real time market value, provide photos, ratings, tasting notes & producer history, as well as insuring your wines against loss or damage while in storage. Items available to Buy Now don’t receive this premium.
2. How Does "Max Bid" Work?
As opposed to entering the minimum amount required to bid on a lot, you’re able to enter the maximum bid amount you’re willing to pay for the lot. Remember, you’re bidding on lots. If you bid on multiple bottles in a lot, your bid amount will increase across all bottles you’ve bid on in the lot. You can’t win bottles within the same lot at different amounts. Your max bid amount is not visible to other bidders if it’s more than the minimum bid required, however other bidders will be able to see a bid has been entered for at least the minimum required. After placing a max bid, our system will auto bid on your behalf against other bidders until your maximum is reached. That means if you entered a max bid of $50 for a lot that opened at $30, you’ll auto bid against other bidders until you’re outbid at $51.
3. Do I have to pay sales tax?
The passage of title for your purchases takes place in Napa County, CA, therefore we are required to collect sales tax on all purchases except those shipped internationally or to states where a direct shipper permit is held. For wines delivered to Louisiana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Wyoming (collectively, “Direct Shipper States”), permits held in these states require the collection and remittance of taxes pursuant to each Direct Shipper State’s requirements. Resellers in the state of California can avoid sales tax by providing copies their ABC license. At this time, we cannot accept ABC licenses from any other states. Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the entire price paid, including the hammer price and the buyer’s premium for auction purchases. Other transactions like membership subscription are not taxed.
4. I changed my mind. Can I retract my bid or cancel my order?
No. Unlike a retail website, WineBid provides a platform where individual collectors can consign their rare and fine wines. You are purchasing these wines directly from private collectors by using our service. In order to protect the integrity of the auction, bids cannot be canceled and all sales are final. For an explanation of your final charges, please see our Payment help page. Please contact customer service directly if you’d like to ask specific questions about your purchase.
5. I placed a bid and saw activity on my payment method. Why is that?
As a new customer, the bids you place in your first auction are pre-authorized on your payment method for verification purposes. Pre-authorizations are voided at auction close and only your invoice total is billed. Please see our Payment help page for our pre-authorization policy. Please contact customer service if you have any questions about a transaction on your account.
