<p>[QUOTE="icerain, post: 2690450, member: 34514"]Actually a bit of both. PayPal fees: If you're not selling on ebay or a store then the buyer is helping out the seller by evading that fee. The seller in return should not raise the price because now PayPal is going to take a fee from the seller. Its like saying "hey thanks for helping me out by evading the fee, now pay me extra so I don't have to take the PayPal fee as well" Both buyer and seller should be helping each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buyers premium IMO is way too much. I understand auction houses need to make money too, but maybe they should put a cap on how much it goes up to. Paying close to 20% of the coins selling price drives up the total price a lot. Not all of us have that kind of money to throw at them. I know some coins are considered a rich person's pocket change and they may not care about paying an extra hundred dollars or so. But even then, that extra hundred dollars or two can buy another decent coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I'm not saying I will never buy from auction houses or sellers adding fees.
