<p>[QUOTE="vincent2920, post: 640778, member: 5138"]I've been buying on Ebay for several years. My user is the same as the one on Cointalk. I've never sold an item as yet but some time in the future I am going to have to unload some coins somewhere. Reading through all these posts it's a tough call for people to decide whether to use Ebay or another method. There is always more risk with Ebay vs. other online sites but you sometimes get what you pay for in terms of fees. If you use the other online sites the risks are almost zero but you'll pay a bit of a premium for the service. One thing I'll point out that never seems to talked about ... the term " online auction " in general. None of these sites , Ebay , Heritage , Teletrade are true "auction" sites. It's whomever places the highest bid in the last seconds that usually gets the prize. If any of these sites had the insight and knowhow they would come up with a way to extend the times on these "auctions" until the bidding is over. Then you would have a true "auction". The sellers would make more money , the online people would make more money and the term " auction" would be just that. I know these programming whiz-kids could do this but I guess nobody has enough interest.... at least not yet ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
