<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1771761, member: 20480&quot;]I&#039;ve been doing exactly that since 2006.&nbsp; Your figures are close, but off just enough to cast doubt about one&#039;s ability to make it on eBay.&nbsp; Take my fictional example, paying $1000, selling for $1200, paying eBay $72 (6%), PayPal $35.10 ($0.30 plus 2.9%), $5.60 shipping (USPS Priority Mail) and about $1.00 for shipping supplies.&nbsp; That leaves about $85 profit on a $1200 sale.&nbsp; To me, that is a pretty decent profit if it comes within a few months time (admittedly, 3 years is too long for a business to wait to make $85 on $1000 invested).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Naturally, there is other overhead, spread over all sales, but the above example illustrates the viability of selling coins on eBay. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is it easy? No.&nbsp; Is it exhausting?&nbsp; Sometimes.&nbsp; Is it worthwhile?&nbsp; I think so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>eBay is a way for unfamiliar collectors to experience an initial transaction with one&#039;s business.&nbsp; In my case, once we have dealt on eBay, I am then able to point them to my website and additional buying opportunities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, I didn&#039;t start my business with $1 Million or $100K.&nbsp; I started with the American Express Card.&nbsp; Now, THAT&#039;S what I call capitalism at its best![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
