Selling Different Fee Structured Items
Say you add one item from the lower tier structure above and one item from the higher tier structure together in the same cart to sell. The system will automatically adjust the fees to match their respective fee structures.
For instance, in the chart above, there are two types of products being sold: American Silver Eagles (1.0%) and Proof American Gold Eagles (1.50%) creating a combined fee rate of (1.16%).

Our fee rate covers a couple of different things that keep the marketplace operating and pushing more volume.

Your support of the fee rate allows Pure to become a better marketplace and be able to add more products and build more markets in the future.
Shipping Costs and Labels
FedEx Express is the most commonly used service for Pure, with overnight labels and express labels generated just 15 minutes after your order is locked in. Shipping is complimentary. Orders may qualify for an overnight label based on an algorithm that assesses order type, size, and current market conditions. If not, a standard two-day label will be provided. You are able to upgrade to a standard overnight label during the checkout process if you want the items to arrive faster to our authentication facility.
NOTE: This option only appears if your order does not qualify for an overnight label. If your order qualifies for an overnight label, the option will not show up.
All orders must include the original packing slips and be packed box-in-box to be considered for insurance. Orders may not be shipped over the weekend and could result in voided shipping insurance if shipped on Fridays. You have up to three business days to ship your items from the day the order was placed. Please contact us if you are not able to ship it within the three business days.
