If you need a professional valuation, we recommend contacting a qualified valuer, auctioneer or specialist dealer.

Each listing has its own page on Antiques To Buy, helping buyers find your item online. Listings may also be shared through our website, social media, newsletters and other online marketing.

We do our best to improve visibility, but we cannot guarantee specific search positions, views or enquiries.

Your existing listings can remain visible and buyers can still submit enquiries or buy requests. Access to Messages and Buy Requests is locked until your seller membership is active again, unless we have approved an alternative payment arrangement.

We send a notification saying that an enquiry or request has arrived and that membership is needed to view it. That notification does not include the buyer’s contact details, message or attachments. Restore your membership, then return to your dashboard to retrieve the saved enquiry or request.

Turning off renewal normally keeps access until the end of the period already paid for. Once that paid period ends, or your membership is on hold or inactive, enquiry access is restricted. You can manage your subscription and payment details in My Account.

Enter your preferred address in Store Settings → Store Email Address. We use it for store and item contact-form notifications. If that box is empty, we use your account email privately for those notifications.

Open Seller dashboard, then select Messages for contact-form enquiries or Buy Requests for requests made through Buy This Item. Replies are currently sent by email, using the buyer’s details shown in the dashboard.
