<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2788308, member: 83956&quot;]So I&#039;m fairly new to the world of auctions beyond eBay, having won my first coin from a European auction last month, and currently bidding on another. One of the things I&#039;ve had to get used to is trying to estimate buyer&#039;s fees, shipping, PayPal charges, etc. I know one size doesn&#039;t fit all, but I sat down and worked out a chart to help me quickly figure out, for example, what a 250 Euro bid might look like in dollars. I&#039;ve estimated a 20% buyer&#039;s fee at the more liberal end. I think I&#039;ve seen everything from 15 to 22, with 18 being pretty common.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chart is just an estimate, and it becomes increasingly flawed since a high dollar purchase would probably necessitate more expensive shipping and might be paid in a form other than PayPal. But I suspect my purchases will be no more than a few hundred dollars, and I thought the chart might be of interest to others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later I might work up one for pounds for British auctions. Swiss francs seem to be trading at 1:1 with the dollar right now. The Euro is pretty close too.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647018[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
