If I am the winning bidder, what happens next?
Updated on Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 12:55 PM
When you are the winning bidder of a lot at auction, Sotheby’s will send you an invoice containing information about your purchase, how to pay, and options for shipping or collecting your property.
Copies of this correspondence can also be found in the My Account section of our website. The fastest and most secure way to pay is online or through the Sotheby’s mobile app.
If it has been longer than 5 business days since the sale ended and you have not received an invoice, please contact Sotheby's Client Experience.
