STOCKVINS Exchange is a real-time fine wine trading platform providing an efficient, stock-market-style bid and offer system with low commissions.
You can buy wines at the lowest offer price through Buy Now, or match offers by placing a bid. Thanks to our advanced matching engine, all tradings happen in real-time.
We charge a low commission as low as 4.5% when you purchase on STOCKVINS Exchange. This commission is charged on the trade executed price. Big news! The buyer’s commission is now waived.
Flexibility is great. When you Buy Now, you can choose to pay the full payment or settle for a 20% deposit upfront. Likewise, you only need to pay a 20% deposit when you place a bid.
Thanks to the STOCKVINS Wallet feature, it gives you extra flexibility when arranging payments.
Your online payments are secure and encrypted thanks to the Stripe service, a widely adopted state-of-the-art payment gateway. We do not collect your credit card information.
Tradings on STOCKVINS Exchange are anonymous to both parties. The security of your information is guaranteed.
Are your wines defective or not as described? No worries! You are eligible to receive refunds sent back to the original route.
In the interest of security, dealers on our platform must follow a strict set of rules. Before dealers can sell on our platform, they must provide us with their identification, business register entry, business address, etc. Furthermore, we require all dealers to follow our strict dealer guidelines. We have established a credibility score for our sellers that takes their fulfillment performance and authenticity into account.
Every wine you purchase on the platform will first arrive at STOCKVINS and undergo a series of basic quality checks. You can choose to pick it up or have it received by our worry-free insured shipping.
When you purchase wines with "Buy Now", 20% of the total purchase price will be charged to your credit card as soon as the transaction is made. The remaining 80% of the total purchase price will need to be settled by bank transfer to us within 7 business days.
Whenever you make a bid for a wine, 20% of your bid price will be reserved on your credit card as bid deposit (not charged). When your BID is accepted, this 20% will be charged to your credit card immediately. The remaining 80% will need to be settled by bank transfer within 7 business days.
Overseas offers usually has a longer handling time after a trade is matched as the wines will have to be shipped to STOCKVINS for inspection before making it ready to release. This process takes 3 to 5 weeks. Please look the the description on the offer page and when you are checking out.
After a trade is matched and the payment is paid in full, your wines will be delivered to our facility for inspection. You will receive a ready to release notification via email or phone call when all payments are settled and the wines are ready. By then and within 30 days upon receiving the notice, you can pick up the order at our Pickup Center for free.
You may request for photos of the wine you wish to buy, it can be arranged in most cases but it is not a guarantee. Wines marked with Special Condition (SC) already have photos ready for download on the offer description page. Photo taking requires additional fees. Please feel free contact our support.
Please visit this page for bank transfer information.
This is the remaining amount you must pay after we have confirmed that the seller has sent us the wine you purchased. You can view your outstanding payments in the "Payments Due" section of your account dashboard.
When your bid failed to match any offer, or you initiated a successful refund, the fund will be returned to you by sending it back via the original route or returned to your wallet depending on different cases.
Generally, we do not offer refunds after confirmation of receipt of the item.
Once an item is passed to you, checked, and accepted. We will have no legal obligation to accept returns.
If you find problems upon receiving the items at pick-up or from delivery, please refuse from accepting them. Please let our staff knows and contact our support team to verify. We will then document and confirm that you made a valid return request, and keep you updated along the way.
