I finally did it!!!! Listed my first coin on eBay.

Geoman

Okay, I finally have succumbed to the pull of eBay, and have listed my first coin for sale. I have bought and sold on Yahoo! Auctions for several years. And have bought a few times on eBay. But I have never tried selling on eBay. I started small, just a 2004 ASE. Didn't want to screw up too bad, and was looking for opinions before I started to list a few more expensive coins. Obviously, a 2004 ASE doesn't require much description. And I have tried to keep shipping down and also give a 14-day no questions asked return policy. By the way, the picture is slightly blurry. I took this with my old 1.1 MegaPixel camera, and didn't take a new picture with my new camera. Probably should have, but for a coin less than $10, it wasn't worth it in this case.

Here is the link and am looking for some honest feedback. Thanks!

I like your presentation. Very simple and straight forward and it sounds friendly.

Looks good to me. Simple, and no overloaded postage charge. Nice logo as well.

Your writing instills trust and confidence in bidding. Well done.

Looks good overall. Just a question--why do you prefer non-CC payments? If you can take CCs, all payments have the same fees... (unless you have two accounts, in which case, be careful which one you link in the auction)

Jeremy, good pick up. Actually, I do have 2 separate Paypal accounts, just for that reason. I do not want to lose a sale because I do not accept credit cards. However, if someone is also willing to pay with a funded Paypal account, why lose the extra $.

Nice first auction. Mine was no were near as clear, to the point with all pertinent info included.

Looks like a good presentation with clear costs, etc. Good luck!

Everything looks good except for the pictures. It would pay to invest in a good digital camera if you will be selling more coins.

Might put in your title: "2004 American Silver Eagle --- GEM BU-Neat Littleton Holder." That might create more interest & draw more hits & bids. I like high numbers on the hit counter. (except when I'm a bidder, then I want everybody else to avoid it)
I've never bought a Littleton holder so a rev pict might be nice.
Using eBay pict service is good. ½ the time self hosting seller's pict give me the dreaded "red x" because their server is slow or overloaded or my firewall blocks it and I hit the back button never to return.
You actually spent a few words describing what your selling instead of 50 jillion words describing how you will neg bidders & relist item if they don't comply with your terms. I like that.
Your shipping is very reasonable. No reason every sleazeBay seller can't use insured First Class for $3.30. I really like that.
Your return policy is reasonable & clear. I like that.
It really doesn't matter to me but I don't understand what the refund term "money back" means. I'd refund using the same payment method that the buyer did or whatever was cheaper. I don't care how you refund me, I like all money.
All in all looks good.

Wish my sell listing were that good.
Good Job, just hope you didn't buy the coin from Littleto they seem to be a bit high on their prices.
Good Luck.
