<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 5127667, member: 99456&quot;]Auctions can be fun, but you have to be a aware of buyer&#039;s fees, shipping, bank fees and export licenses.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is easy for a &quot;good price&quot; of 50 € on a coin to turn into something ugly.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a not unreasonable example:</p><p><br /></p><p>50 € + 20%<b> Buyer&#039;s fees </b>= 60 €</p><p>60 € + 20 € <b>Shipping fees </b>= 80 €</p><p>80 € + 65 € <b>Export license fees </b>= 145€ </p><p>145 € with slightly marked up currency <b>Exchange rates </b>($1.19/euro) = $172</p><p>$172 + <b>bank transfer costs</b> of $15 or 4% markup for PayPal = $178-87</p><p><br /></p><p>hmmm - let me look at that coin again - not sure I like it as much as I thought.&nbsp; Even without the export license you still get quickly to $100 and buyers fees can go higher than 20%.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Read the fine print is good advice, before bidding.</u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
