Buying at a fixed price

A fixed-price listing lets you buy an animal at the seller's stated price without waiting for an auction. Read the listing and agree on pickup or delivery before paying.

Choose how to proceed

• Buy Now takes this animal directly to checkout.
• Add to cart keeps it with other eligible fixed-price animals for one checkout.
• Make an offer lets you propose a lower price on an eligible fixed-price listing. If the seller requires buyer approval, get approved first.
• Apply to Buy appears when the seller requires approval before checkout.

Use Alert me if price drops if price is the only change you are waiting for. It is separate from the watchlist heart.

Once it is on, the button reads Alerting on price drop; select it again to turn the alert off.

Review the complete agreement

Check the animal, seller, location, price, listing terms, and availability note. If boarding, seller delivery, or Creatures transport is offered, choose only the service you need and review its price. Message the seller before payment when pickup timing, health paperwork, or another material detail is unclear.

Some sellers offer a discount for buying more than one animal. Add the eligible items to your cart and confirm the discount in the order summary.

Complete checkout

Checkout shows the item price, buyer fee, any services or discounts, and amount due. A seller may cover the animal's buyer fee. Eligible checkouts also show Credit or Wallet amounts. You can choose Keep this animal private (in a cart, Keep this sale private per eligible animal). Review every choice, then pay through Creatures.

If you buy with boarding, the animal seller's proceeds are released when checkout completes, before later pickup. Review boarding terms before choosing it.

After payment, open Dashboard > Buying to follow pickup or delivery. Confirm only once the animal is in your care and the agreement has been met. Creatures transport has its own delivery-confirmation flow. If something is wrong, report it instead of confirming.
