I think my eBay store only costs me $15 monthly. For those of you who think $15 monthly for the eBay store is too much money, it's actually a no-brainer for most. Without the store, I'd be paying 10% on my coin sales, so it only takes about $375 in monthly sales for the 4% difference in fees to pay for my eBay store. The one issue I take with eBay is that they require sellers to accept PayPal (at least, I assume this is still the case).
