The &quot;perks&quot; (which are definitely purchased through fees) can be very useful if you&#039;re creative.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">The free listings are very beneficial if your selling high dollar items, where the fees are reduced by eBay for numismatic items ($50 max), after their ceiling item value is met. The free listings are also useful if selling low value items, where the listing fees are easily 15-30% of the item value. A mix of items can really reduce eBay fees.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">You can say what you want about eBay, but if you&#039;re a considerate honest seller, there are many serious buyers on eBay anticipating your listings.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I offered classified items on this site and eBid at significantly below melt value with free shipping, generally realizing a lot of bogus responses offering to buy without &quot;follow-up&quot; (non-paying bidders).</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I placed a comparable ad on eBay with the price increased to reflect fees, and had a serious buyer within several hours. EBay currently really has protection for the buyer, unequaled on any other site I&#039;ve seen. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">Say what you want about eBay, but in my opinion, you can&#039;t find a better general source for buying/selling. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">My previous eBay recommendation comes with the caveat that you had better have done your research, and understand the relative value of the items for which you are contracting, before you &quot;jump into the deep end&quot;. :thumb:</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
