PWCC Boggles the Mind. New Auctions

The main thing I understand selling is if I sell a $1000 item on eBay I get approximately $875 after fees. Now if that same $1000 item sells with the usual 20/20 AH pricing I get approximately $665. That makes it an expensive service but worth it to many to not have to deal with eBay.

Hi Ben, not sure where you are getting your figures from but the 20% buyer fee (if there is any out there) I would think would be for a lot that is intensive high in labor. Personally at Sterling our standard contract is never goes over 15% seller fee and that is on a rare occasion for ungraded or memorabilia that would take alot of time to photo/scan, description and pack and ship. Otherwise 10% seller fee on those items that can be flexible if the dollar amount is higher. Graded cards almost always have no seller fee.

So your example at Sterling almost always nets you $800 for a graded item and at worst $700 say if you have a complete set of cards selling for $1000 that would have a 10% seller fee. Once again what is your time worth and are you willing to deal with any potential headaches from the sales.

I would say if you have to pay a 20% seller fee at AH start shopping.

Happy Holidays

The 20/20 is what has been mentioned on here several times on lower price items. It was just an example and not aimed at anyone. I have very little experience myself.

I just noticed you are fairly close to me. For living out in the middle of nowhere anyway.

I will be selling a set worth more than the above price. I will have to PM you when that time comes fairly soon.

Rather have ebay garner the fees. Honestly shocking people still bid with PWCC.

I dont even look at their auctions, and if I miss out on deals, at least I have my integrity.

Y'all might want to look up that term, if you arent too busy scrolling through weekly auctions hoping for a deal
