Buyer's Premium Breakdown
This section will only appear on the Auction Summary if a Buyer's Premium (BP) scale was applied to the auction. For more information on scales, see Buyer's Premiums.
The amount in the Totals column to the left of a percentage is the total Buyer's Premium applied at that rate. The amount in the Totals column to the left of the Online Premium Amount displays the amount charged as the Online Premium. The Online Premium is charged to online bidders and can be found by navigating to the applicable auction from the Dashboard, then selecting Auction > Edit Settings. Click on the Accounting tab. The premium will appear in the Online Premium field on the left side of the page.
The Buyer's Premium Breakdown table displays the Buyer's Premium totals resulting from the applied BP scale. If the BP was manually altered on any lots or invoices, those premiums will not be reflected in the Buyer's Premium Breakdown table. If the BP was manually altered, the BP totals listed on the Buyer's Premium Breakdown table will be different from the BP totals listed on the Payment Breakdown table, as the Payment Breakdown table will reflect all Buyer's Premiums applied, regardless of whether they were applied via scale or manually.
