With the plethora of auction houses that sell your items for ZERO sellers fee, why would you risk it on Ebay and pay them 15% or more by the time you figure in paypal.

I was thinking something similar - I was going to ask how much you would pay in eBay/PayPal fees and compare that with consigning the card/item(s). I think if you consign it though, you'd be looking at an auction whereas with eBay you could list a BIN if you wanted.

In my opinion though, there really is no such thing as ZERO sellers fee. I always calculate the Buyer's premium into my bid. For example, if I would bid $472 on eBay, I'd only bid $400 at an auction house to account for the 18% buyer's premium.

Yes exactly so, frankly I am surprised to hear Scott say that. The consignor gives up a cut to the house whether it's called a seller's premium or a consignment fee or a buyer's premium. Just because it's in the form of a reduced hammer price is really irrelevant to the math.

Make sure you are aware of eBay's cut of the sale price.

I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't hurt to see if there's some interest here. And I haven't heard of anyone getting scammed on this site as a buyer or seller.

Jesse you are a good man but you have this habit of generalizing from your own limited experience. Not always accurate.

This surprises me as well, and this isn't the first time I've seen it on this site. The fee is payed regardless and it still reduces what a bidder is willing to spend.
