[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 36398, member: 1779"]Also, in addition to Exiled's advice, I might add that eBay offers online courses for new sellers. Further, I'd become familiar with eBay's sellers' rules and guidelines. Pitfalls to avoid: Listing a coin with too high a start price; start it low and let it bid up to its market value. Accurate and honest descriptions: I would rather read three long paragraphs describing a coin, warts and all rather than read a one-liner stating, "Nice coin, you judge it from the photo.". Realistic shipping costs: I can mail a slabbed Morgan wrapped in a Safe-T-Mailer™ and padded bubble envelope with First Class postage for about $1.50, insurance and Delivery Confirmation (tracking) extra. [B]GOOD QUALITY[/B] images of both obverse and reverse. Fuzzy pics don't attract my interest nor money. There's a lot more I could state, but I am being reminded I have a social obligation in a few minutes, so gotta git.[/QUOTE]
