1. Introduction

These terms & conditions (the Terms) shall govern and be incorporated in every Contract between Trading4u (the Company) and the seller (the Seller) of an item or group of items (a good/s) on the eBay online sales platform, any other auction platform (each a Site) or any other selling channel. In these Terms, Contract means each individual arrangement for the Company to place a good or goods on the Site on behalf of the Seller, and any purchaser of a good is the Buyer. The Company may require identification evidence from every Seller (one of the following: passport, driving license, utility bill or other photo IDs), before it can act on the Seller's behalf.

2. Good/s

The Company agrees to act as a consignment agent for the Seller. The Company does not buy the good/s from the Seller. The Seller remains solely responsible for any:

• Statement the Seller states about or description of a good/s including but not limited to references as to its ownership, origin, date, age, or authenticity; and
• Faults or defects in any good/s; and
• Any other statements the Seller does or says in relation to the good/s including but not limited to any breach of these Terms.

The Seller must provide the Company with true and accurate information regarding each individual good/s.

The Seller will be charged all associated costs relating to good/s found with any fault/s that has not been highlighted to the Company or if the good/s are found to be counterfeit.

3. The Buyer

The Company does not act on behalf of the Buyer. The Company cannot guarantee the existence of, or bids made by, a Buyer or other bidders and is not responsible for anything they do or say in relation to a good/s, including but not limited to any breach of the rules of the Site (the Rules). The Seller shall be entitled to place a reasonable reserve price on any good/s. The Company charges a fee of £10 plus 3% of the actual reserve price (the Reserve Fee) for setting such a reserve price (the Company will credit the Seller for this fee should the good/s sell) and subject to any Reserve:

• The Company has absolute discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any good/s, to combine any two or more good/s or to withdraw any good/s from sale as permitted by the Rules; and
• The highest bidder reasonably acceptable to the Company shall be the Buyer; and
• Subject to the provisions of the Rules if, during the sale of a good/s, the Company considers that a dispute has arisen, or in any other circumstances in which it would be reasonable, the Company may immediately put up the good/s again for sale or, alternatively, it shall be the sole arbitrator in any dispute between bidders and its decision shall be final and binding on all concerned.

4. The Purchase Price & Commission

In return for the provision of its services and in addition to any Collection, Reserve, Relist or Other fees, the Seller authorises the Company to deduct commission of 35% (or less if so specified on the Seller's Transaction form) of the purchase price paid by the Buyer.

Where a Seller cancels instructions for the sale, the Company will charge 3% of the Reserve Fee (if applicable) and a £99 handling fee as a contribution towards its reasonable administrative costs.

The Company shall remit the remainder of the purchase price received from the Buyer to the Seller within two weeks of the Buyer receiving possession of the last good/s from the Company. A dispute with the Site, Buyer or a bank will pause this period. In addition late payment from the Buyer will also pause the one week period.

• Where any good/s fails to sell, the Company will notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller will make arrangements either:
• For the Company to re-offer the good/s for sale for a fee of £10; or
• To deliver or collect the good/s within 7 days of being so notified; or

If such arrangements are not made within 7 days of notifying the Seller that their good/s
have not sold, the Company shall sell it with proceeds minus a charge to cover its reasonable administration costs.
