[QUOTE="clembo, post: 640487, member: 8033"]No problem Krispy, We all have different situations and having read further big auction houses charge hefty premiums. I knew this as we sometimes use them at work but the audience involved is looking for high dollar quality stuff. In short it depends on what you sell and how you sell it. I can always get my boss to "broker" a coin for me. A luxury few have and I know that. Ebay in general has become a pathetic monster to a lot of big sellers. I have a cousin that is a BIG TIME seller on ebay (not coins) but he sells millions in merchandise every year and a lot of it on ebay. He "sweeps" his Paypal account every night to avoid bogus claims. What should that tell anyone? These are people ebay does NOT want to lose due to their greed and stupidity. Yet, they still do it. He took a few weeks off of selling this year to try and collect funds from non paying bidders. This cost him time an money. I do digress here though. Ebay has it's place. It fits better for some than others BUT when ebay really starts to alienate big and legitimate sellers they're digging their own grave. I've heard enough ebay "horror stories" and many involve Paypal. Scary thing is that now that I am in a coin shop I hear them but on a larger scale. Does ebay want to alienate everyone but the scammers? Seems they're working on it.[/QUOTE]
