[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2931474, member: 39084"]How would you implement this improvement? For example, the actual buyer's premium can't be known until the hammer falls, so displaying bid price + premium during a two-minute auction isn't really practical. Next, shipping and customs fees rely entirely on the customer's country and choice of shipping, so there's no accurate way (that I can think of) to provide this during or even after the hammer falls. Personally, I've never paid customs fees and shipping varies according to the country of auction, so I can't imagine how to calculate and display these items for all the individual bidders on each coin. As for currency conversion, it fluctuates so rapidly each day that a quote given at hammer time may be off by 1% - 4% by the time the transaction is finalized via credit card, bank transfer, or check clearance. While in principle I understand how convenient it would be for the buyer to know all this items during or immediately after the auction, I don't see any practical way to calculate and display all these additional costs accurately.[/QUOTE]
