Purchase & authenticity

Are all items at VIP-Auktionen authentic?

Yes. We sell only authentic, verified brand items and collector’s pieces. All photos are taken by our own photographer, and every piece is described as accurately as possible.

What is included in the delivery?

You receive exactly the item shown, with the accessories shown. Instructions, papers, service records and watch or jewelry boxes are only included if they are mentioned in the description or shown in the photos.

Is there a discount code?

Yes. With the code VIP-CUSTOMER you get 5% off all goods. Simply enter the code when you place your order.

Why is no VAT shown for some items?

Some items are subject to the margin scheme under § 25a UStG (German VAT Act). The VAT included in the purchase price is then not shown separately on the invoice. You will find this note directly on the item.

Shipping & payment

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping within Germany is free – regardless of the value of the goods. Shipping to EU countries costs between €12.90 and €79.90 depending on the value of the goods, and between €15.90 and €99.90 worldwide. See the shipping cost table.

How fast is delivery?

Within Germany, delivery takes 1–3 days; abroad, 3–6 days after conclusion of the contract (for prepayment, from the date of your payment order). There are no deliveries on Sundays and public holidays.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, we ship worldwide. Depending on the destination and the value of the goods, we choose the most suitable solution with selected carriers.

Which payment methods do you offer?

You can pay with PayPal (including PayPal Express), by credit card, direct debit or invoice via PayPal, or by prepayment (bank transfer).

Can I collect an item or view it in person?

We only ship, so unfortunately collection in person is not possible. We are happy to answer questions about a piece by phone on +49 231 478 79 79 or by email at info@vip-auktionen.de.

Returns & service

Can I return an item?

Yes. Consumers have a one-month right of withdrawal – longer than the statutory 14 days. You bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You can declare your withdrawal by email, by letter or online.

What if I am not satisfied with an item?

Please contact us – there is a solution for every problem. We describe every item as accurately as possible; should something nevertheless not meet your expectations, we will find a solution together.

What should I do if an item is damaged in transit?

Please report obvious transport damage to the delivery service immediately if possible and contact us without delay. Your statutory rights remain unaffected – but you help us to assert our claims against the carrier.

Sell & trade in

Do you also buy luxury items?

Yes. We are always interested in buying fine accessories, watches and jewelry – single pieces as well as entire collections. Go to the selling form.

Is a trade-in or exchange also possible?

Yes. Besides buying, we also offer trade-ins and exchanges. Simply tell us which piece you would like to part with and which one you would like to acquire.

Which documents help with a selling enquiry?

Scans, digital photos or other helpful information are very welcome – such as photos of the front and back, hallmarks or serial numbers, plus details about the box, papers and condition.
