# AutoBuy's Fees

&#x20;AutoBuy.IO is an all in one payment processing and e-commerce solution. Whether you are selling digital goods, game items, or even software, AutoBuy gives you a platform to accept payments, send out orders, manage support tickets, and more. On top of any fees that the payment processor (PayPal or Stripe) may have, AutoBuy.IO also has a flat **3% fee** on transactions. This is withdrawn automatically and can be viewed on a seller's order details.

The table below breaks down any fees on AutoBuy.

| Processor      | Fees                |
| -------------- | ------------------- |
| PayPal         | 3% + gateway fees.  |
| Stripe         | 3% + gateway fees.  |
| Cryptocurrency | 3% + handling fees. |

*Please Note: While we move our systems to another cryptocurrency partner Bitcoin withdrawals will have a fee of 0.0004 BTC. We do not have an eta on when this will be complete.*


# Contacting a seller

There are many different reasons you may need to contact a seller, and AutoBuy has a few different ways of doing so.

Every shop has a **help desk.** You can create a ticket here to contact the seller. This option will always be here.

![](https://autobuy.flowlu.com/files/download/1ca67f7d-9f05-11ea-9272-fa163e7d9ee1)

Shops may also have a **Discord Server** linked to their shop. You can join their Discord and contact the seller from there if they have it enabled.<br>

![](https://autobuy.flowlu.com/files/download/46433a03-9f05-11ea-9272-fa163e7d9ee1)

Shops can also have **Live Chat** on their shop using Tawk.To. This will look like a little chat bubble in the corner of the shop page. You can use this option to receive live chat support from the shop.

![](https://autobuy.flowlu.com/files/download/739112e6-9f05-11ea-9272-fa163e7d9ee1)

If you are a Shop Owner, you can enable Discord and Tawk.To in your shop settings.


# Receiving a refund

All payments on AutoBuy go directly to the seller, because of this AutoBuy is unable to provide assistance with refunds. All products and orders are controlled by the seller, AutoBuy is just the platform that people sell on.

If you would like to receive a refund then please contact the seller via their shop page. If the payment was made via PayPal or Stripe, you'll be able to create a dispute on their platforms. However, we recommend you first contact the seller and attempt to come to a solution.

If you are looking to report a shop then please contact AutoBuy with your reasoning.


# Didn't receive product email

Products on AutoBuy are delivered in your web browser after checkout, and also by email. If you didn't receive an email, you still should have your order details and delivered product in your webpage.

If for some reason you don't have either, it is best to contact the seller by using one of their contact options on their shop page.&#x20;


# How to find / search for products and shops

AutoBuy is not a marketplace, products and sellers are not listed or searchable.


# No option to pay at checkout

If you are trying to purchase something from a shop you may come across a product that doesn't have any option to pay. If this happens, it will look like this:

![](https://1152010492-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M89Mjb3PqiEkNiwzt56%2F-M9qxFCCeE2CvSkdzQev%2F-M9r4UzC0Ogsffs8_NXy%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=27fbee06-96c8-48ab-8cfc-025e95433b93)

This is due to the product not having any payment gateways enabled.

If you are the buyer, please contact the shop to resolve this issue.

If you are the seller, all you need to do is edit the product and turn on the payment gateways.<br>

# Getting help with a product / product doesn't work

AutoBuy is unable to assist you with purchased products, you'll have to contact the seller for help with your product not working or anything product related.

The best way to contact a seller is by opening a ticket with the **Help Desk** on their shop page, but they may also have other support options such as **Live Chat** or **Discord** which can also be found on their shop page.

Then go to <https://autobuy.io/Shop/SHOPNAME/Balances>. Enable the coins you would like to use and enter your wallet address. These addresses will be the place where you withdraw your coins to.

![](https://1152010492-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M89Mjb3PqiEkNiwzt56%2F-M9rFoCbga04TCT3YWCV%2F-M9rHawgfd6AkzTwaoZw%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=116d6b1d-c38d-45cc-83e5-d3498a53a82d)

Now you're ready to go!


# How to withdraw cryptocurrency

On AutoBuy, all cryptocurrency is sent to your shop's online balance. You can view this balance next to the corresponding coin on your balances page. You can visit your balances page at: <https://autobuy.io/Shop/SHOPNAME/Balances>

![](https://1152010492-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M89Mjb3PqiEkNiwzt56%2F-M9rFoCbga04TCT3YWCV%2F-M9rITGC5iuJJVjo4y9K%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=2fe6ddf3-08ef-4304-a0ff-d82645eb95a5)

In order to withdraw your balance, you just have to click withdraw at the top of the balances page:&#x20;

![](https://1152010492-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M89Mjb3PqiEkNiwzt56%2F-M9rFoCbga04TCT3YWCV%2F-M9rIetCdKasHdvfIJ1Y%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=ac141a20-8713-47c6-b0ce-2dc252217bbe)

Select which coin you would like to withdraw to your address&#x20;

![](https://1152010492-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M89Mjb3PqiEkNiwzt56%2F-M9rFoCbga04TCT3YWCV%2F-M9rIluulWYoFGQiRESx%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c405aeed-12b3-4da2-8dd3-0eb910fbc0b7)

It will then automatically be sent to you. Crypto currency needs to confirm on the blockchain, and this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, but it's usually pretty quick. Confirm that you withdrew to your wallet at the bottom of the balances page under "Audits" before contacting support.&#x20;

# How to sell files
