Haven't sold on eBay in almost seven years. Just too many feces, er, I mean fees. If I don't sell it on a BST somewhere it just doesn't get sold. I only buy scarcely on that venue - maybe once or twice a year I will buy something for one of my other hobbies(there are several) but not a numismatic item in several years.
Well, I had nice coins for sale on CT for very reasonable prices... but nobody seemed to be interested. It took me about a week to sell them on eBay.
Well, one site is CT and the other site gets about fifty million unique visitors a month (real-life stat)....
I know, but CT is only about coins and over there people buy and sell anything... and we're all family, right? ;-)
Well, ebay just posted their latest quarterly reports. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ebay-quarterly-revenue-falls-2-202725911.html and the few negatives, including the revenue falling from 2.15B to just 2.1B, was due to the drop of foreign currency vs. USD and the forex adjustments for SEC reports. Stock was up almost 8% afterhours, so most are happy with it, and I doubt Ebay is concerned with changing things.
