In many cases the ownership transfer will be managed by the Seller and a fee may apply. Check the Item details, Proclamation of Sale, or the Seller Terms and Conditions https://www.pickles.my/seller-terms-and-conditions/ to see if transfer fees apply for each seller.

In all cases, the winning bidder must pay all future costs associated with transfers, registrations, inspections, taxes, government and any other fees which may be required at the conclusion of the auction or in the future.
