Hadn’t even thought of that. These concerns that should not exist is why I won’t sell on eBay anymore. Just zero seller protections exist and yet they somehow erode the zero number into the negative consistently.

Good point, Justin. Mgmt. at eBay used to be content being America's garage sale, with all that entailed: final sales, part-time and occasional sellers, etc. But since the powers that be decided to be Amazon Lite, they treat some guy selling cards out of his rec room on the weekend like he was Wal-Mart. We are all forced to take credit cards now, with all that implies in terms of charge-backs and refunds. It will get worse as time goes on and people have second thoughts about purchases, and still worse when eBay forcibly migrates sellers to its payment system, which seems to have all of the screw the seller rules that PayPal figured were just too onerous to adopt.

I have a basic store which I probably will non-renew when it comes up. My cost of sales is practically the same as AH vig, and I don't have to work at stuff I consign.

The latest Sterling Auction closed on Thursday and it appeared to not be affected. The typical some record high prices and a few slipping through the crack. I had a consigner send an email saying that his consignments finished higher than expectations. A strong contingent of new registrations and the last two days were really strong.

The hope is that this continues and can bring some normalcy to our lives.

At this time everything is on schedule for the next auction.

Everyone be safe,

Lee Behrens

I have never tried to sell a card on ebay for reasons listed in this thread. It just doesn't seem worth the risk to me personally. If I can't find a buyer here at what I consider a fair price I just take my chances with an AH or consignment service.

I don't expect much of a decline in prices for the cards I'm looking for due to this virus, but I am trying to keep an eye on things. I'm still buying if the right card becomes available.

I can see a lot of activity when the stimulus checks come out.

My wife and I are millennials. Our age group is just starting to put college debt (amid other debt) in a reasonable position to move into a house. I can see others my age using the stimulus checks to further life goals rather than buy a card. I'd like to buy a card, that would be cool, but that would be harming my family. My wife and I have already talked about more debt we can pay off to increase our disposable income. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to make to get out of renting and buy a house.

But I keep thinking is the 1200 dollars really going to help that much? I guess it will but that isn't a ton of money in today's economy.
