<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1022550, member: 13650"]Have to agree. You're paying for the ebay name and recognition. I used to complain but anymore, I think you guys are right. We're lucky it's this cheap. Ebay is worldwide and just about everybody on the planet knows what it is. They don't have to let you use it for free. </p><p> Look at it this way. You could have a stunning, $1500 coin in your collection that you want to sell this week. Set up a yard sale at your house. Take off what would be 12% in ebay fees and try getting $1320 for it. Advertise like crazy. Sit there for a month. Work,work,work to get it sold. Burn up all your time. And it probably won't sell. Especially in a lower populated area. Or, take it to a dealer and get offered $800.</p><p><br /></p><p> At ebay, at least you can safely sell it in a reasonable amount of time at a decent prices. You can usually find a buyer or buyers, somewhere, in 1 to 7 days. Paypal also is a familiar face with a fee for saftey and convenience that few places can offer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
