<p>[QUOTE="AgCollector, post: 268325, member: 5928"]That's fine if you're selling at a fixed price and can set it at whatever you feel the value to be. However, in general when selling on eBay you have to take whatever the final price is, doesn't matter if it only gets up to $40 (in your example) or for some reason goes to $80 because of a buying frenzy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you can see all the time auctions with a starting price that's rather high (say $50 in your example), and often those are the auctions that get zero bids. In which case, the seller must still pay eBay listing fees, a few bucks at least, so do you list it next time at $53 because it cost you $3 for the failed attempt to sell in addition to the $50 value of the coin? Probably not, it's just a cost you have to accept, which is why you should also accept buyers who price shipping into their total cost they're willing to pay. Just the way it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
