<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 765873, member: 16994"]I have been a gold powerseller for a couple of years. We were selling all the proof sets and government issue stuff on EBay at greysheet ask just to get rid of it. We have to keep that stuff moving or it'll fill this place up. The powerseller program does get you a discount on your fees up to 25% I believe. So for us it was a good deal. Because of all of the hassle involved I have stopped this tho. It's just was getting to be a hassle taking my time to answer 20 questions about our items every day that people could have answered by looking harder at the listings. </p><p><br /></p><p>These days I think I'm going to be listing stuff that we see that just "needs" to go to EBay. Coins that have a niche market and that I will have trouble selling in the shop. VAM's, vareities, errors, bulk coin deals...stuff like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>BNB I have to be frank with you and I want you to stop and think about this... Your really gonna have to find some killer deals to come out.... your paying a buyers fee... and your paying EBays sellers fee.... how much is going to be left over for you??? I have only bought a few things over the years at auctions with the intent of reselling at auction... and I have either broke even or made a very slight (less then $20 on $1,000 coins) amount of money on all of them... and these were specialty coins that almost HAD to be sold at auction. You would serve yourself much better by going to shops and shows and buying your coins that way.... no buyers premium...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
