Arranging Payment After Your Auction Win

Secure Payment Options Available

The next step, if you have been successful in acquiring the items you have won is paying for your purchase. At Michael Stephen Auctions we accept multiple types of payment from cash (dollar amount limited by government restrictions), credit card (most all major credit cards) up to USD $1,000, personal checks (if paying by check, items will not be able to be removed from the gallery until funds have cleared MSA's bank account (normally 3 days), by bank wire transfer, or by bank ACH transfer (ACH is only available for US bank accounts). For amounts over $1,000 bank wire transfer is the most common method of payment. Full payment is due no later than 30 calendar days after the sale.

For online only sales, successful bidders will be able to pay immediately after buying by going into their account with MSA and viewing their invoice. Bidders in the saleroom also can pay immediately after signing into their account and viewing their invoice, or paying with the Cashier in the saleroom. For all sales you will be able to select if you want to use our preferred shipping service or you can choose a different form of collecting your items. Once payment has been made, you will be provided with a confirmation of payment.

Please note that for any auction where you participate in the saleroom, payment can be made on the day of auction, immediately after buying, and in any case final payment is due within 30 calendar days of the auction. For any type of online auction, payment is due immediately via online checkout through your customer portal. We do not accept third-party payments from an individual or company that is not the winning bidder.
