My experience selling on eBay has been different than many of the above-described situations. First, I am a relatively new, small seller, so that may be a partial reason for my situation. In the last 12 months, I have sold only 240 cards, most priced between $100-$250. Primarily I sell graded vintage cards from 1909-1955. It is a hobby for me and I enjoy the interactions with other people. My customers have been polite, interesting hobbyists. I enjoy researching my cards presale, and I enjoy answering questions. I have met some fascinating people with great backstories. I sell only with fixed prices; my prices are generally around or slightly above what comparable cards have yielded on eBay sales, looking back over the last 1-2 years. Yes, eBay fees are high, but there is flexibility in their pricing, and I rarely lose money on any card I sell. So, I have fun. And, by the way, where can you find better people, and better advice, than here on net54. I have learned the hobby by going to school here, listening to the experts.
