How does EONA pricing compare to buying coins or ETFs?

Coins can carry higher markups. ETFs track the price closely but charge ongoing fees and give you fund units rather than specific metal. With EONA you buy allocated physical metal at a transparent price and a published commission, plus storage fees.

Is there a discount for buying in bulk?

No. The same pricing method and commission apply regardless of order size. A lower commission may apply to Recurring purchases when that feature is available. See our Fees & Spread page.

How do I know I’m not overpaying?

You can compare the price you are quoted with public spot price sources. The spread, commission and total are shown before you buy.

What You Pay: Spot, Spread and Commission

Q: How is the price set?

Prices are based on the international spot price from a professional market-data provider, refreshed approximately every 10 to 15 minutes. The price that applies is the one shown on the platform when you confirm your order.

Transparent Pricing, Allocated Ownership

Many buyers find it hard to see what they are paying for precious metals. Markups can be hidden in complex pricing, bundled products or vague spreads. At EONA, our pricing method is published: the spot price, a premium (buy) or discount (sell), and a stated commission.

The Problem with Traditional Pricing

When you buy coins or some retail products, you’re often quoted a single retail price that combines several costs: dealer markup, fabrication, shipping and marketing. Buyers rarely see what portion reflects the metal itself.

With ETFs, the price may track the market closely — but you hold units in a fund rather than specific metal, and ongoing fees apply.

How EONA Pricing Works

EONA prices are based on the international spot price from a professional market-data provider, refreshed approximately every 10 to 15 minutes, plus a premium when you buy (minus a discount when you sell). A commission applies to each purchase and sale.

You see the price, commission and total before you confirm.
Storage is charged separately at 0.50% per year for gold and 1.00% per year for silver, plus 5% VAT.
The published rates apply whether you buy small or large quantities.

The result: clarity about what you pay and what you own. See our Fees & Spread page for full details.

Why There Is a Spread

Every physical metal purchase carries costs above the spot price, such as sourcing, minting and operations. At EONA, these are reflected in the premium to spot and a separately stated commission.

That means:

You know how the price is built.
You can compare our costs with other providers.
The published rates apply to every customer.

We publish our pricing method and fees, and show every price before you confirm, so you can judge for yourself.

Access for Every Size of Purchase

Whether you buy a few grams or several kilograms, the same pricing method applies, with no hidden tiers.

EONA sells physical precious metals on an execution-only basis and does not give investment advice. The value of precious metals can fall.

Common questions

The spread is the difference between the spot price and the price you pay (or receive). At EONA, prices include a premium to the spot price when you buy and a discount when you sell, and a commission applies to each purchase and sale. Buying and selling straight back normally returns less than you paid, because of the premium, the discount and the commission on each side. See our Fees & Spread page.
