As of recently, there seems to be an up tick on postings on the topic of EBay. From what I gather, there are many members who list coins on EBay.
I was wondering if anyone a has complied a list of forum members with their EBay ID.
I would have more confidence in purchasing from active forum members rather than a random seller.

Wall of HONOR transaction list:WonderCoin, CoinFlip, Masscrew, Travintiques, lordmarcovan, Jinx86, Gerard, ElKevvo, PROMETHIUSS88.

    EBay and PayPal combined end up costing the seller something like 11% of the sale value. Given than many things sell with only 1 or 2 bids, its amazing that the sellers dont set some sort of reserve to cover their costs. No wonder EBay sellers on this forum are pissed off.

    I believe we pay 8.5% of the sale to cover E-Bay/managed payments not 11%?

    We've sold a number of coins , mostly DE's (approx 75-100) over the past 2 years. Maybe, we are just in "good times" for the hobby?

    Without E-Bay we couldn't be in business.

    8.5% is still more than I want to pay, but I guess EBay has the buyers. Great Collections and the other auction houses do charge premiums, but they sort of justify it.

    Does your 8.5 % include Pay Pal or the CC payment. Just Curious .

    Refs:

    USA Coin Book: https://www.usacoinbook.com/fees.php

    Great Collections: https://www.greatcollections.com/greatcollections-vs-ebay

    GreatCollections has a minimum buyer's fee of 10%, or 12.5% if they use a credit card. The seller fee is 0% over $1000 or 5% under. That's a effective fee range of 10-17.5% depending on the value of the item and how the buyer pays.

    As far as the link for their comparison to eBay, those comparisons are a bit weak.

    Faster shipping? Okay, but most eBay listings ship pretty quickly, and eBay has a FAR wider range of items available. I wouldn't choose one or the other because of shipping speed unless it was a common item both places had for the same price.

    Confidentiality? If it really matters, get a PO Box and don't use your real name on eBay. Problem solved.

    Authenticity guarantee? eBay most certainly enforces such a guarantee by way of SNAD. And if the ability to return an item is that important, fine, only buy items with a return policy on eBay. Again, this could be a reason to choose GC for an item you can get on either site, but certainly isn't a reason to not look on eBay for something GC may not routinely (or ever) sell.

    I decided to check. I pay 8.8% as well, up to $4000 of the sell price.

    Anything Above I pay 2.35% .

    So you can see by a recent sale.... the exact costs. Sold an item for $8500, paid a FVF of $457.73 or 5.38% total fee.

    My guess, bigger sellers do better?

    Final Value Fee
    -$457.73
    Variable percentage • Coins & Paper Money category
    Rate for $0.00 - $4,000.00
    $4,000.00

    8.8% =
    -$352.00
    Rate for $4,000.01+
