I don’t think you can reach many people without ~20% to the platform/house. That’s nornal, and on eBay is pretty much the top end only. One need not like it but that’s normal. It is news to me that sellers no longer set the shipping cost and eBay forces them to use an undercharged amount set by eBay. Have never heard of this before or experienced it. I really don’t understand the problem with providing tracking? Why would you not provide any evidence of fulfilling your end? |

Welcome to the party, pal!
Pick your poison in terms of selling venue. If eBay doesn’t work, then I’m sure the BST here will be much better. At least if you sell through a non eBay AH, then you don’t have to deal with whining from the buyers.

Very few auction houses if any are going to take $60 items I wouldn't think. If you hate ebay fees, use the BST, but you're reaching a small fraction of the buying pool.

Agreed! I will do so. I rarely sell anything. BST is the way to do it going forward.

My guess is that your collecting habits will align nicely with the crowd that is looking to buy on the BST. So while the audience is smaller, your material probably plays fine with that strategy.

Aside from selling, perhaps it is only unsubstantiated perception that there is dramatically less of the actual vintage things, other than baseball cards, I search for on eBay, and far more modern things attempting to capitalize on the vintage things...metal signs made to look vintage is just one example. For the last couple of years, vintage railroad timetables, I find British and European en masse, modern Amtrak and the like, and far less pre-war American.
For selling and buying vintage collectibles alike, with fee percentages and holds when selling, and far less vintage stuff when searching to buy, with so many other venues, Amazon and Etsy, etc., I wouldn't think eBay's future is bright. But I am a true pessimist.
