<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2106748, member: 73165&quot;](Sorry, I just had to.&nbsp; And this is one case where it really kind of is &quot;one weird trick&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .)</p><p><br /></p><p>As you should know, sellers pay significant amounts of fees to eBay when they sell a coin there.&nbsp; Suppose you could get the seller to sell you the coin outside of eBay.&nbsp; Then, they wouldn&#039;t have to pay most of those fees and could pass along the savings to you!</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, eBay is wise to that, of course, and they have rules against contacting people through their messaging system and persuading them to conduct transactions outside of the venue they&#039;ve provided.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, here&#039;s the trick: don&#039;t use eBay&#039;s messaging system.</p><p><br /></p><p>This actually works better when you&#039;re dealing with people who are real coin dealers that have web sites, rather than random people.&nbsp; One clue that you&#039;re dealing with a &quot;real&quot; dealer is that they have the PNG icon next to their username.</p><p><br /></p><p>Often, a user&#039;s eBay store provides enough information that you can google and find their web site.&nbsp; If not, try googling parts of the item description.&nbsp; In my experience, it&#039;s common to see the same coins listed on a dealer&#039;s web site and on their eBay store, but the eBay listing will be 10-15% more money because of the aforementioned fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other way to get coins at less than eBay prices is to get them before they hit eBay. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That, of course, is where sites like this one come in handy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
