[QUOTE="kanga, post: 442810, member: 9270"]I haven't sold on eBay since January because of all the policy changes and fee increases. (I personally find the "positive only" feedback by sellers to be the worst.) I've known about the CoinWants site for a while and finally decided to give it a shot. I listed just one item to test the waters, a slabbed Buffalo nickel. The opening bid for my item was at CDN Bid with a BIN at [I]CoinWorld[/I] listing. It was won at the minimum, but I was happy to see that I had 20 viewers and 2 watchers. Could I have done better at eBay? Of course we'll never know, but I suspect so. Would the eBay fees have reduced my profits enough to make CoinWants competitive? Maybe. The CoinWants fees only came to 3% versus the 12-15% at eBay. The buyer used PayPal. The PayPal fees alone were more than the CoinWants fees!!! So a check or MO would have increased my profit margin a bit more. I've got another 6 or so items to try as a second listing. I think we've got something good at CoinWants. I'll try to remember to update my activities for a while.[/QUOTE]
