Consignment - Seller's Guide

Step 1 Prepare Your Listing Information

Clear and accurate information is the first step to a successful sale. Please prepare the relevant information for your bottles according to the following requirements.

1. Photo Requirements

Please click the button below to go to the upload page. All photos must be square (1:1 aspect ratio), clear, and blur-free, accurately reflecting the actual condition of the item. After uploading, please notify us via Whatsapp and provide the price and Whiskybase ID.

Required photos include:

• Front and back of the bottle If there is an original box, please take a photo of the bottle with the box. Ensure both the front and back labels are clearly visible.

• Vertical fill level photo If the above images do not clearly show the fill level, please place the bottle upright and take a photo that clearly shows the liquid level inside. If your bottle has a design like ceramic bottles where the bottle body is not transparent, please contact us directly.

• Close-up of the seal and capsule Take a close-up shot of the bottle's top, clearly showing the intact condition of the seal and foil capsule.

• Bottle codes If applicable, please photograph the laser codes or batch numbers on the bottle. If you do not wish to disclose the Bottle Number (e.g. xxx / 350), please redact it yourself.

• Close-up of any flaws This is a mandatory item. If the item has any flaws (e.g. scratches or stains on the label; creases or damage to the packaging box), please be sure to provide a close-up photo of the affected area.

2. Product Information

To ensure standardization and accuracy of information, we strongly recommend providing the Whiskybase ID for the bottle.

After submission, our system will automatically retrieve basic information about the bottle (such as distillery, year, alcohol percentage, etc.) based on this ID. Therefore, please double-check that the ID you provide is accurate.

Step 2 Understand Fees and Pricing

1. Listing Fee

• To maintain platform quality and prevent abuse of listings, a symbolic listing fee of HK$30 is required per bottle (this fee is non-refundable).

• For every bottle successfully purchased on the AP website (including consignment items), you will receive one free listing credit (calculated from orders after September 1, 2025).

2. Free Pricing Principle

• As a neutral intermediary platform, AP believes in the principle of free market. Please determine the price of your consignment bottle yourself.

• We will not interfere with your pricing, but please ensure that the price is within a reasonable range.

3. Commission Structure

We use a tiered commission rate. The higher the selling price, the lower the commission rate, to reward high-value consignment items.

Step 3 Sales and Handover Process

• Obtain Consignment Number Upon successful listing, your item will be assigned a unique Consignment Number for your future tracking and communication.

• Buyer Inquiries When a buyer expresses interest in purchasing a consignment bottle, we will contact you to confirm if the bottle is still available for sale.

• Buyer Order Placement Upon confirmation, the item will be temporarily delisted. Once a buyer confirms the purchase and completes payment, we will notify you immediately.

• Item Delivery Please ship or personally deliver the item to our Kowloon Bay Showroom within seven business days of receiving our notification.

• Inventory Update Obligation We understand that your collection may be listed on multiple platforms simultaneously. If the item has already been sold elsewhere or is no longer available for sale, you must notify us immediately for delisting. Failure to notify us in a timely manner on more than one occasion, affecting a transaction, will impact your future listing eligibility.

• Information Modification Before the item is sold, you can contact us at any time to modify the price or add supplementary photos.
