How does this board work to sell?

puritan9

I am new possible future seller here, although I am a powerseller on e-Bay. How does this work, and how does the buyer and seller get in contact with each other. I do have Pay Pal and yes, I am sick of e-Bay.

You should turn on your private message function...that is usually how we communicate as buyers and sellers! Good luck, have fun!

You would sell here just as you would any other forum.
Post the coins you would like to sell.
I would say coins graded by PCGS, NGC & the other accepted TPG would have an easier time of selling.
Add a good picture or 2, and a good price & you should have no troubles.

Buyers usually contact the seller via PM (Private Message), you need to turn yours on.

Since you seem to be a newbie seller here, depending on the value of the coin(s), there may be a chance of the buyer (if established here) may ask you to send the coin first, or make some other arrangement to feel safe (Paypal).
Once you've make some sales, and trust built, then I would say you could expect payment first.
It's all on a case by case basis.
Posting your eBay ID also helps to establish yourself here.

Now, to make this thread ON Topic.....whatcha got to sell???

PS-To turn on the PM function, hit the 'profile' button on the upper right of this page (under the Navigation pull-down) and toward the bottom there is the function option.

Welcome to the forum. I am new here as well and can attest that the vast majority of people here are very honest, and wonderful people and we all share the same common enthusiasm for numismatics. You aren't alone in your feelings for Ebay, I assure you.
Many of the people here are dealers themselves, so are very easy to deal with and understanding folks.

I am another newbie here/disenchanted eBay powerseller and I just bought my first coins here this week. Transaction seemed to go down very smoothly. (Thanks, Dragon.)

Great group of folks here but -- and trust me on this one -- if you list stuff for sale make SURE that you list everything in only one single posting per day. Early on I made the mistake of posting two different things for sale in two separate posts during a single day and, boy, was I flamed for that but good. Couldn't sit down for a week!

And, yup, most of the communication here is my PM - make sure you go into "Profile" and turns yours on.

I think you will find it much easier and a more friendly way of selling coins, much like if you were selling to a close friend.
Have fun and good luck.

I want to thank all of you for your great advise. Now I just have to get off my butt.

Newbie also. I have pretty much quit looking on ebay for coins. I have just made request of some of the members about my wants. Just a few transactions so far but cant forsee any problems arising. Seems like a good place to pick up what I need and also get information.

Thanks everyone!

Don't forget to follow the rules about multiple posts and too frequent bumping or the forum cops will be on your ass like ugly on a ape.

Hi Jim
Not say not to buy here only, but i would not give up buying on e-bay. you can get some good prices and coins there.
E-bay is only screwing the sellers. hehehhhehh so far the buyers are safe, at least for now till some grate thought comes
in there head again, heheheeh
few weeks back i pick up a awesome pcgs ms-63 1932-S Washington for little over 800.00
and made a deal with the seller for a 1932-D for 1800.00 at the graders now, heheheh
so deals are to be had there.
welcome to the board
