<p>[QUOTE="JoshuaP, post: 26535088, member: 114157"]I have sold a fair amount on eBay. Be aware that eBay takes something like 13.75% of each transaction, including anything you charge the buyer for shipping. My experience has overall been good. I prefer selling only cheaper coins or higher profile coins there because the fees are so high. eBay customer service is <u>terrible</u>, but thankfully I have seldom needed to contact them. Shipping through eBay is great. Just be sure to have tracking on every item. I save boxes and padded envelopes and reuse them with no trouble.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have tried auctions, and they don't generally end well for me. I have lost a lot through that. I have found that most people prefer the buy-it-now option. </p><p><br /></p><p>I much prefer uscoinbook.com, but sadly the customer base is not very strong yet.
