I stopped selling (not coins, wasn't back into it at that point) after eBay more or less mandated that you had to "upgrade" to accept credit cards on your Paypal account (I will skip the ugly details of that unless anyone asks).
That meant Paypal got a chunk of EVERY transaction of yours whether the buyer used a credit card or not. Dirty pool in my opinion.
However, many, many buyers skip listings if the seller doesn't accept Paypal. The result is a lower gross amount for the item.
In terms of buying coins, we are still at the low end, and S+H pushes the "to my door" price way above what I could get the coin for at my local dealer... plus I get to look at the real thing first. I am not at the point where I trust the listings for coins (unlike model trains, where I can spot bunco from a mile away).
So the net of it is that I mostly "window shop" on eBay for coins. Kinda the opposite of what the "norm" is eh?
