What is a Seller Deduction?
The term "seller deductions" is used to describe a situation in which a seller/consignor is selling items in an auction while also purchasing items in that same auction. In this situation, the auction house wants to deduct the price of the purchased items from the amount owed on the Seller Settlement.
For example, John Doe is a seller/consignor who is owed $45,000 for the sale of a tractor at auction, but he purchases a lot for $1,000 at that same auction. Instead of John having to pay the auction house $1,000, that amount can be applied to the $45,000 the auction house owes John. Once applied, John's Seller Settlement will show that he is now owed $44,000, while also providing a historical record of the purchase he made in this auction.
Applying a Seller Deduction
