Last month I sold a card for $800. I kept $755.59. which is equal to a 5.5% fee. |

But if I understand correctly you DIDN'T sell a card at those prices, you sold a card at those prices plus a BP. That was money the buyer paid that you didn't get to share in, same as an auction house's BP. Therefore your percentage of the money that the card actually sold for is lower than 94.5%

Either way, I am getting 94.5% of what I list it for. Given that there are no taxes (yet), it can be a good place to sell. If I sell through an auction house, it will be challenging to keep as much of the total cost (especially if there are taxes). And if I consign to Probstein or some other ebay seller, I MAY get as much, more or less. There is no guarantee either way. |

Never heard of them before. Did some looking and prices seem equal to ebay.
That being said the search seemed to work better then ebay 🤷🏻 James G

You didn't sell it for $725 though. You sold it for $732.25 and they tricked you into believing you sold it for $725.

Yes but isn't that exactly how the majority of auction houses work on similar priced items. I haven't done much selling or buying with AHs but that is how it has worked for me.

I guess because it was an asking price sale maybe it feels different. He got 94.5% of his asking price. Of course he could've asked less and gotten the same amount if not for the added charge but again, that's the same as an auction BP.

From a buyer's perspective, much better than Ebay and auction house fee wise.

I like the site and think there is a definite need for a platform opposite of ebay. The issue I have is the museum asking prices that are similar to what I see when browsing ebay. Maybe have some kind of stipulation on pricing, like be within 20% of past sales etc….Obviously you can drill down on specifics but there has to be a way to sell competitively without gouging. Some of the asking prices on myslabs makes Deans cards pricing look like a bargain.

I am a big fan of myslabs both as a buyer and seller. Minimal fees taken out as a seller versus the Ebay alternative plus there are no bs returns or buyer not paying. From a buyer perspective you know that the card will be shipped out timely with shipping / tax already factored into the price. Also, you need to prove yourself as a good seller / buyer to get and maintain an account. Only issue is pricing is high and feels like being at a card show
