Timepiece Luxury Inc.
Payment Policy
How payment works on our marketplace
This policy explains the payment methods we accept, how charges are processed, and what to expect whether you're buying, selling, or trading a watch with us.
Last updated: September 2026
Accepted payment methods
We accept the following payment methods for purchases made through Timepiece Luxury Inc., depending on the size of the transaction:
Credit & Debit Cards
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted for most orders.
Bank Transfer / Wire
Available for higher-value purchases, often preferred for orders above a certain amount.
Certified Check
Accepted for select transactions, with orders held until funds have cleared.
Gift Cards
Timepiece Luxury Inc. gift cards can be applied toward any purchase at checkout.
When you're charged
For in-stock watches, your payment method is charged at the time your order is placed. For pieces that require additional authentication or are being sourced on your behalf, we may place an authorization hold at checkout and complete the charge once the watch has passed final verification and is ready to ship.
Payments for sellers and trades
If you're selling a watch to us, payment is issued once your piece has been received and authenticated in person — typically by bank transfer within a few business days of approval. For trades, any balance owed on your end is collected using the payment methods above once both watches have been valued and the trade is confirmed.
Currency and taxes
All prices on our site are listed in U.S. dollars. Applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and local tax requirements.
Payment security
All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment channels. We do not store full credit card numbers on our own systems — payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant third-party providers.
Fraud prevention
To protect both buyers and sellers, we may request additional verification for certain orders, including identity confirmation or proof of billing address, particularly for high-value purchases. Orders flagged for review may be delayed until verification is complete, and we reserve the right to decline or cancel a transaction we reasonably believe to be fraudulent.
