Just don't get it with some sellers

[rhettyeakley]

The answer is that it literally costs them next to nothing. I have an eBay store and pay the monthly fee to have an anchor store and with that fee I get 10,000 listings that are included as part of that subscription. If I was to ever go OVER 10,000 listings I will then get charged $.05 per listing. With the 10,000 listings I think the math works out that for the subscription fee you are basically paying $.03 or so for each listing.

I have never had over 6,000 listings (less alone 10,000) in my store at any given point. I just don't have time to list that many things but may end up there at some point as it is steadily growing. I do strictly BIN at this point with some occasional auctions and I have been able to build a pretty strong inventory over the past 5 years or so with just some work done in my spare time (it allows me to buy new things and heaven knows I'd be collecting anyways so I may as well allow my hobby to make me some money at the same time). For the most part my store is populated with duplicate items or items that just don't fit my current collecting focus so it is a great way for me to refocus my money to items that are currently interesting to me, it is fun.

Leon,

I think the suggestion was made for a category just to complain about overpriced eBay sellers. Please do this.

Sincerely,

Anyone who's been on the board more than six months

How about not reading threads you are not interested in. Works well for me. I don't collect T cards and amazingly I have never read one thread about them. Amazing the freedom you have.

LOL Don't get all offended because you brought up a topic that has been beaten to death a billion times. I usually read all the threads because yes I am married to a wealthy wife and have the time.

Plus I wasnt saying not to write about it, just that there is a separate section so there is less garbage to weed through on the main board.

We could have a separate section for everything but I don't think it will create a better environment. With a total of 35 threads on the front page of the board I don't think it's that much to weed through. At least it isn't for me but then again I am just one collector amongst many.

LOL I get it, just giving thin-skinned Steve a hard time. I apologize Steve, don't want this to fester.

I guess the water cooler section is for these types of threads.

They are described as 'Rookie' cards, which of course bumps up the price a bit, as a direct result of the effort involved in describing them in that way.

Brian (I will now begin putting in the effort to include such terms in future listings to increase my bottom line)
