Premium Auctions Fees.Premium Auctions provide a high level of service. We get paid only after your equipment sells. If your reserve price is not met, re-posting is free. The cost for DOTmed Premium Auctions ranges from 20% to 33% of the item's selling price depending on the level of service, with a minimum commission of $500. For certain items under certain circumstances, DOTmed can offer you Price Protection for your item. In this case, DOTmed or its designee will agree to pay (pursuant to the Notice of Auction between the Seller and DOTmed) Seller the reserve price set forth in the Auction Description, in the event no bid exceeding the reserve price is submitted at the closing of such auction. You can read more about Price Protection here. Ask your DOTmed Project Manager about the availability of Price Protection for your auction or call our Auction Hotline at (866) 999-DOTmed (3686) Extension 252.

A word about the way Auctions are promoted.
We promote all auctions through direct mail, print advertising and by emailing announcements of all new postings to our extensive base of registered users. We have one of the largest databases of buyers and sellers of used hospital equipment anywhere on the Internet. We also help you through DOTmed Alerts. Alerts are personal requests by DOTmed users to be notified when the specific equipment they want is posted. So we tell the exact people who want to buy what you're selling.
A word about our Approved Bidder policy.
DOTmed only wants serious Bidders to participate in your auction - as should you. That is why we have an Approved Bidder policy.
In brief, we require Bidders not known to DOTmed to either become DOTmed Certified or submit their credit card information before they can bid.
This is a powerful incentive that helps ensure payment, which is what you deserve, as do we.
