<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1515711, member: 15518"]Most buyers require their sellers to have a number of positive feedback comments so they can judge how well the seller handles his sales (from proper grading through packaging and shipping). However, selling low grade "lots" is a good way to build up feedback, as buyers are more apt to purchase inexpensive items initially from newer sellers. When I started selling, I would find successful auctions and "copy" the format that was used (as far as presentation). Many sellers develope their own technique, and once you establish your own method, future listings become quite simple, even for the occasional seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 9% figure is good, but I've never paid a listing fee for coins as I'm under the 50 free listing figure (however "gallery plus" is thirty-five cents). All pictures are free. And I recommend free shipping, as this generates more interest in your auctions, and any shipping charges are subject to eBay fees. "Buy It Now" fees are a little higher, so I usually stick to auction format. If you use BIN, make sure the price you select covers additional costs. Also, don't forgot PayPal also charges a fee. I've always linked my checking account, so I'm not sure if that's an actual requirement. Another thing, as a new seller, PayPal may hold your funds for a period of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are both positives and negatives in using the 'bay, but I would give it a try if you prefer that method over selling your coins here on CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
