When participating in an auction, one of the most important factors to consider in choosing an auction house is security. One of the most trusted, experienced, and reputable auction houses is IBID – Balai Lelang Serasi.

With more than 18 years of experience, IBID, one of the business units of PT Serasi Autoraya (SERA) under the Astra Group, is a reliable auction house for consigning and selling various types of goods.

Trust has grown because one of IBID’s strengths is the guaranteed security it provides, from the auction process to payment. However, you still need to know what fees are charged when joining an IBID auction.

Currently, there are three types of transaction fees at IBID: the deposit for Auction Participant Number (NPL), auction administration, and virtual account administration. Here are the details.

3 Types of Transaction Fees at IBID

1. NPL Deposit Fee

Before joining an auction, you must purchase an NPL (Auction Participant Number) as proof of being a registered participant.  One NPL can only be used for one auction object or lot. The deposit amount varies depending on the auctioned item:

For car NPL, the fee is Rp5 million. Motorcycle NPL is Rp1 million, while the lifestyle product is Rp250,000. The NPL fee for heavy equipment is Rp5 million. Specifically for scrap and property, the NPL fee is 20% of the lot price.

If you win the auction, the NPL deposit will be deducted from the final payment. If you lose, the deposit will be fully refunded to your registered account upon the auction’s end.

2. Administrative Fee

For auction winners, an administration fee must be paid as the handling cost for the auctioned object.  This fee is automatically listed in the Auction Winner Confirmation (KPL) and includes VAT, in accordance with tax regulations.

For car auction items with a final price below Rp333,333,333, the administration fee is between Rp2 million and Rp3.75 million. For motorcycles, the administration fee is Rp250,000. Specifically for property, the administration fee is 1% of the final price.
