We're transparent, and so are our fees

In a market that's often obscure about what you pay, we're transparent about our fees. We charge a Carabia commission, which the buyer pays to Carabia. It's based on the final purchase price and is capped on the low and high ends.

Our fees are the same whether you buy a ‘Buy Now’ or ‘Auction’ listing.

Carabia comission is 2% (inclusive of VAT)
Minimum fee is AED 2,000
Maximum fee is AED 10,000
