<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2197036, member: 73983"]This is one of the most outrageous and stupid things eBay has done. I was thinking about listing a coin on eBay and wanted a reserve in case my minimum price was not reached. Come to find out, they will charge a "Reserve Fee" of 2% for any reserve set above $150.00!! That fee will be charged regardless if your reserve is met or not. I called eBay customer of service regarding this. The customer service agent tried to tell me that it is a new feature to allow a seller to decide if they will sell an item or not. I had to tell hime that he is absolutely dead wrong. Reserves have been around at eBay since it's inception. They used to never charge that fee. He then replied that they were "offering" the reserve fee to try and get more people to list as an auction style listing. What an idiot, it's doing the opposite. It will only get more people to list a fixed price listing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd go to Great Collections if I could use my own photos and not have to use their awful bland lack of detail images.
