<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1374717, member: 15199&quot;]I get the feeling that there are as many threads (or more) on the forums from unhappy buyers than unhappy sellers. Maybe it is that the sellers agree with the threads where sell side is presented and visa versa in the other direction. So I have a slight disagreement that ebay is all for the &quot;buyers&quot;. In my experience they are fairly even handed.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to fees, I have been with them since they were called East Bay and were mainly stamps, then coins, then everything from cars to _____. Fees were at first none, then very low, then more, then as they are now. They are slanted to impinge on the seller, as they have the burden of proof ( If they can&#039;t sell whatever eventually, they have used a lot of resources and must pay). There are no buyers direct fees, although I have heard mention that a subscription idea has been floating around for buyers&nbsp; ( too many looky-loos according to their internal stats). If you have tried advertising that can hit buyers world around, you know what the expenses are, even in numismatic magazines. Yes, you can use Craig&#039;s list and other, but the safety isn&#039;t there. Ebay is not perfect, but they have been very good for the collecting hobbies, and general home based economies and we would be sunk without them, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
