<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1264014, member: 24091"]You all need to be on eBid. Since there isn't a fee assessed on the closing price, there is no reason to worry about non-paying bidders. Sure, you have to make 2 or 3 clicks to relist the item, but the hassles of dealing with the auction site are generally eliminated. There are a few exceptions, if you've used a gallery photo a modest 2% commission is charged (in which case eBid is extremely fast and helpful posting a credit to your account). </p><p><br /></p><p>eBid might not be right for everyone, but from a sellers perspective, they are so many light years BEHIND eBay (which is a good thing, --much like eBay used to be before they started ripping everyone off and complicating things) that you'd have to be nuts not to check it out.

Really it all boils down to how sick you are of eBay, and if you are willing to take the time to at least list your coins on another site in an effort to migrate away from eBay's high fees, and ever changing rules and regulations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
