COMC on Ebay question
I can't figure out how my COMC listings on Ebay work. I thought I would pick my price on COMC, and if it happened to sell on Ebay, then I would get 80% of the price I picked. But I now think my initial impression is wrong. I currently have a card on COMC at $48, but on EBay it is priced at $57.99. I can't find an answer on COMC. Can someone please help me understand the math?

Thanks. I appreciate your perspective. I think COMC may have just gone to free shipping on EBay. Maybe that accounts for the increased EBay price--though way more than $3-4 on my card. But my question is, will I get paid 80% of the COMC list price? Also, with these large markups on EBay, my prices just can't compete. I understand that some savvy collectors will just go to COMC to buy it. But they would see my COMC listings anyways. I thought the point of the EBay dual listings was to get exposure with more buyers. My experience is there isn't a lot of demand expressed for my COMC listings even when I price the cards extremely low.

Yes, what you're seeing is an embedded shipping/ insurance fee to make it look like they're offering free shipping. You will still get 80% of your list price. They have talked about reducing fees for cards sold through eBay since they started offering eBay listings, but haven't implemented anything yet.
However, I still sell plenty of high value cards through comc on eBay. |
I buy stuff from COMC via eBay. The small amount I'd save going to the site isn't worth the inconvenience for the nickel and dime cards I buy.

I've had several issues with them outside of EBay, and as a result, I don't deal with them anymore. In one instance they had a bunch of cards listed on Amazon as Venezuelan Topps cards, the listings was for Venezuelans, but with pictures of different players from the regular U.S. version. I asked a COMC employees TWICE before I purchased them, which they were: Venezuelans or regular issue Topps, and if they were the players listed or pictured? I was assured that they were Venezuelan and were of the players listed, not pictured. I got a bunch of low grade U.S. versions of the cards pictured, which of course I had to send back and then wait for a refund. I've also had issues buying direct from their website. For example, taking forever to get my items together and ship them, in one instance it was like a week or more after payment before the cards were shipped. Just my experience with them, maybe others have had better luck?
