Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 728444, member: 19065"]eBay is a handful but man!, are those shipping fees nasty! I'm not a fan of eBay's shipping cost limits they give for a chosen shipping rate/service. They're way too low, especially for international destinations. I think it's the shipping costs which have begun to scare off a lot of buyers as it's just not worth it to bid or BIN such items. Offering free shipping with S/H costs worked into your item costs doesn't work well for the seller either as it prohibits selling low dollar items. This is underscored with Insurance on low cost items. You might as well just reimburse and loose your item on something under USD$15. It's unfortunate that a large sector of buyers of small priced items has been/is being lost and not every seller has high value items or volumes to sell to make it worth the effort and expense. That said, sales of coins of almost any kind, always move well even during these economic times. I don't expect things to be free but eBay does also seem like the lesser of evils in secondary market sales for e-commerce, individual sellers. Generally speaking, I think the company's recent stock performance tells a lot about the eBay communities sentiments towards them despite needing to deal with the service, policy and ever (d)evolving changes.[/QUOTE]
