The buyer commissions are established at the beginning of each season. They are published in each catalog. Three fees -
5.5 % of hammer price
Per pelt commission that varies by species
Per pelt packing fee that varies by species
On some low grade items, you pay more in fees than you do hammer price. And on some not so low grade items the additional CITIES fees are pretty stiff. Buyers pay $7 USD. for each otter and ten bucks for each cat. This certainly affects how much a buyer wants to pay for a trappers skins at auction, on top of all the other fees and commissions. If that doesn't include the $2 fee to the trapper for the otter, then that is $9 CITES fee for otters that sell for $30 average. I only get paid $1 to fill out a whole page of information with size, sex, month of harvest of each otter and squeeze those plastic tags through those tiny otter eyes. Man! Am I a sucker?

The CITES fees are already included in one of the above fees, not sure which one. It might be the packing fee. Last time I checked, the packing fee on a Wolf was $20.00, which included the CITES paperwork. So they charge the seller and the buyer for CITES paperwork??

Hope the next sale is better than the last one. Some left-overs sold and it's not pretty! Yup

So, is WFSC membership now $50 a year? If they charged me $100 in Dec for membership, I'm now paid up through Dec 2020...?

I think I read in ITS that they were going to charge higher fees on those who have less then $100 worth of fur LMAO!! That’s a good way to attract new shippers. Takes quite a bit of fur to exceed $100 now. Considering what they’ve been selling for as of late. .. ....to do that.....it will average out to be about 101 coon

Yup - both buyers and sellers pay for CITES paperwork.
I wonder if both sides will get a certification and traceability fee? What's your vision for 2020 say?

Dang, sounds like Alaska sucks. I pay $0.25 for a CITES tag, and don't have to fill out any paperwork.
