    Easy rule of thumb is "they get it all"

    I sold a $20,000 comic. They took 3.4%. You can't even use PayPal for less.

    $2500 in bullion. 4.5%

    You aren't TRS and don't have a store. I pay 8.1% on $200 coins.

    Got 6000 seller feedback on the site. That was once enough to sell for a 2.75 fee plus 2.2 to Paypal. Now it is 13% all in and then you get to pay the same fee on the sales tax.

    That is why on Sunday Night, a thousand or two coins sell per hour at GC and bupkis on Ebay.

    Puh-lease. Lots of coins sell on ebay. And for a $50 or $100 coin, the fees are lower on ebay than GC. So it ain't the fees, son.

    When a coin could be sold for 5% all in (including PP) on Ebay, Sunday night was insane. Tone of no reserve auctions (mine included.) Action was brisk, some did well, others were deals. That is all in Irvine now. Sellers use Ebay to show off their wares and hope the buyer morphs to their website.

    Peak month I paid the Bay over $2000 in fees and was happy to do so. Now they get about thirty bucks.
