[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 822872, member: 307"]I think this is an attempt to bring back many of the smaller sellers who have left because of all of the fees on top of fees. Ex- I recently listed some rolls of 2010 cents. I paid: - a listing fee - a listing design fee (bold, color, background, etc.) - a final value fee - a fee to accept payment by paypal (I don't accept credit cards, so paypal is the [b][u]only[/u][/b][u][/u] option that I have available.) - a fee to move my money from my paypal account to my bank account and this was after some smart shopping and forgoing the fees for: multiple categories, subtitles, longer listing times (in # of days) and more! If you're only selling a $10 or $20 item, you can't afford to sell it on eBay, the fees eat all of the profits. I currently have 2 2008 Proof Sets that I want to sell. I can: a) sell them on eBay or b) sell them to the shop at 10% back of bid unfortunately, the shop seems to be paying more but that's close to what I paid for them from the Mint, so I am going to keep them instead. I don't want to, but I am not going to lose money on a set that sells for a premium above what I paid for it.[/QUOTE]
