Pricing & Fees
Every lot shows its starting bid in Indian Rupees. These are the only charges on top, for buyers and for sellers.
Effective from 22 October 2026
For buyers
Browsing and bidding are free. You pay only if you win. The winning bid is the price of the item and already includes GST on the item. At checkout you pay:
- the winning bid;
- a convenience fee of 3% of the winning bid, plus 18% GST on the fee;
- the delivery charge for your PIN code, plus 18% GST on it.
The exact amount for your order is shown at checkout before you pay. There is no cash on delivery and nothing is collected at the door.
For sellers
Listing a lot is free. When a lot sells, Qlout deducts the following from the winning bid before paying you out:
- Commission: 10% of the item's value before GST;
- GST on the commission: 18% (claimable as input tax credit);
- TCS under section 52 of the CGST Act: 0.5% of the value before GST (CGST + SGST within your state, IGST across states), credited against your GSTIN;
- TDS under section 194-O of the Income-tax Act: 0.1% of the value before GST, credited against your PAN.
Delivery charges and the buyer’s convenience fee are paid to Qlout and are not deducted from you. Payouts are released to your verified bank account once the order is delivered and the 48-hour issue window has passed. A monthly statement and tax certificates are provided.
