Q: Can I give you a Credit Card over the telephone?
A: No, we cannot take credit cards over the telephone but will be glad to send you a link to pay online.
Q: What is Cardworks?
A: Cardworks is our credit card processing portal for credit cards. It is secure.
Q: What is the 3% fee?
A: If you are paying with a credit card or PayPal we are collecting a 3% credit card fee. You can also pay with a wire transfer, cash, money order, ACH or deposit – those will not have a 3% fee. If you are paying with any method other than a credit card then please remove the 3% fee.
Q: Why do I have 2 invoices?
A: We will send you an invoice from the auction venue and a duplicate invoice from Quickbooks. They will match, you only need to pay once.
Q: Where do I send a non-credit card payment?
A: HFA, 1131 4th Street North, Saint Petersburg FL 33701. Please write your lot number and invoice number on the Memo line of your check.
Q: If there is a shipping fee on the invoice does this mean you will ship to my address registered with the auction house?
A: Yes, if we can ship the item in-house we will calculate a shipping fee based on the zip code with the registered address.
Q:Will you ship to another address?
A: If you pay with Cardworks by credit card then we can only ship to the billing address. If you pay with a non-electronic method we can ship to whatever address you wish us to send it to.
