<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seascape, post: 7834762, member: 117848&quot;]I actually figured this up the other day. I have had a problem buying 2% of the time. Thats right out of my last 100 buys .... 2 were a problem. I didn&#039;t lose a dime however.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is with sellers. I was messaging with a guy the other night on a 649.00 colonial. He explained to me it was costing him 82.00 to sell the coin. I think thats a tad high. I know ebay has costs. Costs that even we have no idea about. Still .. i wish they would try to pay these costs with volume. Not complicated intricate tic tac ping and ding fees. So the sellers are struggling to make a decent profit. It must be aggravating and tricky to figure out.... only for ebay to only be 1 step behind you. So SOME of them take steps to increase profits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every coin i have ever bought on ebay i guarantee you i have looked at 6 or 10 times. Maybe more. Rarely do i hit buy it now. I make offers. Even if its not a best offer auction i message the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you just jump around and impulse buy ... buy stuff you know nothing about ... panic buy ... or the sorts... you are gonna get burnt quick. I also use the same sellers as much as I can. I&#039;ve had sellers hook me up and direct me to other sellers to dial me in on a pc. Theres a group of super great guys that sell coins. Most of them know each other. I&#039;ve gotten to know a couple of these guys fairly well. As a customer anyhow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over seas sellers.... no problems there either. The 2% problems I&#039;ve had were actually U.S. sellers. But like i said.... I may look at a coin several times over a week or 2 before i go in and start to negotiate or bid. Never ever ever on a whim. I will do that occasionally at my LCS though.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for you sellers...... hang in there man. I appreciate you guys being there. I honestly dont know what I&#039;d do without ebay coins. Shop at Heritage auctions for $5000.00- $865,000.00 coins everyday? Ok. With like 30% buyers premium? Ya no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
