I want to graduate from ebay

Books, there are a ton of coin help, buying and auction groops on Facebook that you can join. Most of them are auction/buy it now posts.

Say I had a coin I wanted to sell, I'd post a couple of pics, set a starting bid and define payment and shipping terms. Once posted people in the group who want the coin will comment on the post....they'll start with your starting bid and it will go up from there. Most auctions will end 24 hours after the last bid, whomever bid last and highest wins the auction. From there you facebook direct message each other and arrange the transaction...most the time the buyer will pay with paypal imvoice, the the seller ships just like ebay.

PayPal gift is not allowed, most shipping is done via usps first class for around $2.50 to $3.

As you can imagine, you have to be on the look out for scammers....but honestly most of the group admin are very good at keeping them out. I've been really lucKY so far, but have not bought any high priced items.

The biggest benifit for me is the network of folks I'm building. I have a couple folks now I can ping when I need to bone up on inventory. I've met a couple really neat folks that way...you get to know them because you become Facebook friends. Just the other day I became Facebook friends with Ken Potter, neat guy...for his age the man still likes to rock out on heavy metal, shares out some amazing photography. ..not of coins but nature...he's got a pic of himself flashing the metal horns! He's completely blown my peception of who I thought he was...LOL

@Hommer is on FB, I'm friend with him. I'm probably friends on FB with more folks from here, but just don't know it.

Just like CT but only on Facebook. There's dozens of groups.

This first one has over 10k members.

 

I did know that there are "groups", but wasn't clear on what purpose they served or exactly what they did/do. Thank you (and @BigTee44) kindly for taking the time to explain.

 

As a retired pro website publisher/marketer, (I once published 20+ sites), I would take a different view on this.

I would try something like Vcoins. They have all the hardware and marketing set up for you for a monthly fee.

You can then market your own site as well as enjoy the sitewide marketing.
