Their final value fees are out of control. Its been a while since I listed my engine mounts on there, so I thought it might be worth it to get a little extra exposure. Until I saw the $30 final value fee... What makes them feel entitled to over 10% of the price?

It is out of control. My Dad's coin business is strictly online with Ebay, among other things certain parts of the world cannot see your store and don't come up in searches at times, something to do with search overload and super high user logins causing the equivilant of rolling "blackouts" with thier servers. If you call and bitch to your Ebay rep., a lot, the fees can get waived or sell into the 100k plus category. Things seem to loosen up some after that.

Ebay is retarded, it's not worth the headaches at this point when you take into account the cut that ebay AND paypal take it's a total rip. I very rarely sell (or buy for that matter) anything on there anymore.



What kind of coins is your dad selling numismatics? Has he done any of the coin shows? I need 12 1oz buffalos if he's got them j/k I think I'm buying monday.

Yeah buffalo ouncers, right! Here's a link below to the ebay store.



Most all of it is 70's but he has all kinds of other stuff too, just not listed on Ebay, and plenty of contacts for bullion and the like if you wanted to go that way.

when I listed my front lips on there I had to increase the price $25 for the fees, I could not believe the fees were that high.
