Sell the item for 125% of real world value. PayPal &amp; Ebay combined take 25% with insertion fees , enhanced photo fees , combined shipping &amp; combined payment options and finally final value fees. I know that offering free shipping is a real magnet to buyers , but I am not prepared to do that at this time. I use the handy eBay shipping calculator and pass that fee onto the buyer up front. I even allow the buyer to change the checkout total in case they want to select an alternate shipping method. Any way I can make their buying experience a rewarding one for them &amp; a profitable 1 for me , I&#039;ll do it. It took me a while ( 2 days ) to discover the option of blocking bidders from every country except those with primary addresses in USA &amp; Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like any small business that is just getting started , I expect to spend money building my positive reputation , even if it is at a MINOR financial loss on occasion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will not be trying to sell anything on eBay that I would not be willing to simply part with at a loss and move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I ever start to acquire high value coins and actually wanted to part with them , I think I will try selling them on the OPEN forums here on CoinTalk or to a local dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
