A: No. We only charge one fee. That fee is collected up front.

Q: Why is my merchant not on the Cash Now Merchant List?

A: Bar’s List.com is only authorized to purchase from a certain list of merchants. If your merchant is not listed in the dropdown menu feel free to sell your card through an Auction or at a Fixed Price.

Q: Is there a fee at the start of a listing?

A: Yes. On auctions we collect a 4% fee up to $6 at the start of a listing. On fixed price sales we collect a 4% fee up to $4 at the start of a listing. These fees are intended to be part of a safety precaution making sure sellers are using a valid PayPal account. We also use the fees to keep the site updated and running. Our intention is to keep fees at a minimum and to not become like some other sites that eat up all the net sales.
