Transaction fees
The following section outlines transaction fees.
All prices below are in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Hire / Rental transaction fees
Transaction fees are charged per transaction to the item owner (the hirer). A 'transaction' is when an item is actually hired and paid for.
The transaction fee is the only fee that is not optional and only applies to hirers. It is only applicable if your items actually get hired. No hires = no fees = no worries. No out-of-pocket expenses, ever. When something of yours gets hired, we simply subtract these fees from the payment and the rest goes to you.

WARNING! This is to reward businesses who recognize the fact that they are saving on time of their staff by using AnyHire.com and want to pass that saving onto the customer.

Item listing upgrades
As promised on our home page, you can define any number of items for hire and it won't cost you a cent/penny/dime, whatever your currency is.
Sometimes, though, you will want to make your item stand out and more attractive to your customers. Then you’ll need our advanced features.
For example, an item may need to belong to more than 3 categories (3 categories per item are free). Or the item may require a picture with large resolution to be attached, or it may need more than the 2 free small images to adequately depict the item. We do charge small additional fees for enhanced listings like these. These fees prevent misuse, and they help us cover the costs of the increased storage and processing power needed to server these features.
All prices below are in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Additional or large images, documents, categories
2 small images (max. 300x300 pixels)* can be linked to every item for free. Additional images and other upgrades incur the following charges:

Customer cancellation fees
Quoted and not yet paid items can be cancelled at any time. However, by paying for any booked items the customer enters into a contract between them and the hirer. The hirer is reserving the booked item for the customer and cannot hire it to anyone else during the same time. If a paid item is cancelled, this can result in the owner's financial loss due to wasted oportunity to hire the item to someone else. For this reason, cancellations may incur cancellation fees depending on how close to the actual hire was the cancellation requested. If too close to the start of the hire, the customer will loose part of or their entire payment in favour of the owner and/or AnyHire.com according to the following tables:
Business hires
Every business can specify their own cancellation fees schedule. These can be found on the item detail pages.
If no special cancellation terms are specified by the business the following schedule applies:
| Fee | Description |
| $20* | Processing fee if cancelled outside of 30 days of delivery. |
| or | 25%* | If the hire is cancelled 30 to 14 days before the delivery date. |
| or | 50%* | If the hire is cancelled 13 to 7 days before the delivery date. |
| or | 75%* | If the hire is cancelled 6 to 1 day before the delivery date. |
| or | 100%* | If the hire is cancelled within 24 hours of delivery. |
* NOTE FOR THE OWNERS: You will receive the above stated amounts less credit card processing and AnyHire standard hire fees calculated from the actual cancellation amount.
Private hires
| Fee | Description |
| 5%* | If the hire is cancelled more than three times the length of the hire period before the hire starts or at least 14 days before the hire. Or, this also applies if the hire is being cancelled within two days since the payment. |
| or | 15%* | If the hire is cancelled before two times the length of the hire period before the scheduled commencement of the hire or at least 5 days before. Or, this also applies if the hire is cancelled within 3 days since the payment. The item owner gets 10%. |
