<p>[QUOTE="Chuck_A, post: 4137653, member: 104486"]Keeping in mind that you are more likely to buy a counterfeit coin in a fake holder is more likely on ebay than the other auction houses unless you are buying from a well known seller that has the feedback to prove it. I still use PayPal to log in to my HA account and different methods for other accounts. It helps to look around and see what your budget allows. I live in Washington State and seldom ever pay taxes on a coin purchase. Great Collections doesn't charge a sales tax unless you live in California. gotoauction.com is another site that offers less expensive coins and the sellers are supposedly screened, however I've never made a purchase there and I'm not aware of their fees and shipping costs. The state you live in will be the deciding factor of whether or not a sales tax is required, South Dakota vs Wayfair set the precedent for States to collect taxes on out of state sales and it varies from state to state.</p><p>Read the rules and information about buying and selling on any auction house. GC charges a minimum of $5 in buyers fees and $5 shipping for the 1st coin and 50 cents for each additional coin purchased for each week's auction. IMO, HA from my experience has the highest buyer's fees for their auctions and I will not buy a coin on eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
