This for an item from 1897 that I bought in the 1990s for well over $100 that he snagged from me for $67. On the other hand, one item from 1904 that I think I paid $8 for sold for $167. But since I haven't sold on eBay since 2017, I am a "new seller", even though I have been on eBay since 1998. I have to wait until the items arrive (tracking) in order to receive payments. So all of this...fees, waiting to receive payments, is a total pain. I won't sell on eBay ever again. You guys that sell on eBay, I don't know how or why you do so.

I quit in 2002. Got sick of scammers. When I quit I never went back, now am fully retired from shows and have nothing to sell. Nice to be done with that part of the business.
