When will I receive the proceeds from my sold item?
Updated on Mon, 13 Apr, 2026 at 11:27 AM
After the sale of your item at Sotheby's, the proceeds, net of fees, will be remitted to you within 45 days provided that we have received payment from the purchaser and that no consumer cancellation rights apply.
Please note, certain European and UK buyers at European/UK online-only auctions may have the right to cancel their purchase, which could impact the payment timeline. In such cases, we will hold the payment until the cancellation period has passed.
If you have items for sale on the Buy Now platform, payment will be processed five days after the item has been delivered to the buyer.
