hey, so i took the plunge, like i need another place to but them. What is the deal with them wanting your debit numbers, i want to bid on a few things, i know it is legit, but just wondering, def. with the hold on your card and stuff. just wondering why

I could be wrong but most auction houses around the world hold your credit card details on file...I think all the ones I have account with do, even the ones I buy from rarely.

And remember, too, to calculate the 19.5% BP that will be added to anything you win. Just something to keep in mind so you dont later scratch your head and wonder

I know the bp, I bid knowing the bp, I have eaten that bp a few times now but I still scratch my head and wonder.

I know YOU know Zorba... LOL....

Just saying that the bp always has, still does and always will blow but that is life when you are sick.

Yes they do!

I am not looking to bash em, I look at their stuff every week and bid on at least one almost every week.

Does HA take credit cards? Based on reading their FAQ, it looks like the answer is no, they only accept direct 'cash like' forms of payment.

Since this will be my first bidding with them (end of the month), I figured I would check now so I know how much I can spend

.

For a 19.5% BP, you would think they wouldn't mind eating 1-2% CC fees.

It's been a while but they do because they only accept PayPal payments for order value under $2500. As to credit card fees, can't answer currently but most auctions I have ever used (in current times) charge a fee to use credit cards

yea the BP is dumb as hell, seen a few things, i was eager to bid on, i like the bid, untill you open it up, and its like 20 more bucks, i think it will only be major wans, i get from this site

enki · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2012, 11:06:43 AM »

Thanks. Do they charge an additional credit card transaction fee on top of the 19.5% BP, or is that "included"?

I'm trying to find the info on their website (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/contactus.php?ref=&txtTopicID=10#answer), but don't see anything about credit card payments.

CineMasterpieces · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:32:00 PM »

You can only use a credit card up to a certain amount with Heritage. It used to be up to $10,000. If you owed more than that you had to pay the balance by check or wire transfer. Just recently they lowered that amount to $2000 (or close to that, I'm not sure of the exact amount maybe $2500?).

We have always had a similar policy. It helps against chargebacks. There are plenty of unscrupulous buyers out there who like to pay for things and then call their credit card company and dispute the charge.

Bruce · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:38:03 PM »

We at eMoviePoster.com trust our buyers and let them pay any way they want. Sometimes we get Western Union, Moneygram, postage stamps, cash, produce from the harvest, goats, whatever.

CineMasterpieces · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2012, 02:00:36 PM »

We had to stop accepting goats. They kept eating our inventory. Pretty Woman one sheets are apparently delicious.

Thanks for the feedback. Well that's good since I generally prefer paying with a credit card. I'll call them on Monday to find out about extra fees if no one knows about that. I don't think it would be worth using it if they tack on 2-3%.

Regarding the new $2000-$2500 cap, is that per-item or per-invoice?

there are no extra fees for using any form of payment that I am aware of, however, they do offer a 1 or 2% discount or something like that when you use an online check payment rather than PP or cards. In other words, they are giving you back the fees they now aren't paying

Interesting. That could equate to a nice savings, so I might end up going that route.

I'm confused why they don't explain all of this on their webpage? Under the "paying for your auction" page, not only do they not mention any of this, but they make claims to the contrary. Seems a bit misleading if they actually offer other payment options and give discounts based on some of them.

Zorba · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2012, 05:15:21 PM »

Thank God there arent any extra fees for payment method, that bp is quite enough of a joke.
