This is my question as well. I like to be in control of my own sales, from the beginning of the process, until the end. I like to be able to choose what's "sellable", and what's not.
Otherwise, it's just another auction house among many.
It's the one thing that made Ebay stand out from all the others back in the late 90's.
I have nothing against Probstein, but based on their half-assed descriptions, and shipping practices stated over and over again in their feedback, this isn't quite the alternative to Ebay I have been looking for...for what seems like decades now.
Even if I am reading it properly, and you sell on their platform...and then ship to them, to ship to the buyer...that seems like a logistical nightmare. It essentially turns into a customs clearinghouse...or an Authenticity Program. Do you trust them to get your stuff to the right place, in a timely manner, after opening up your package and having to repackage for multiple buyers?
Wish them luck, and hope they prove me wrong. If it's better thought out then I am giving them credit for right now, and things seem to be going smoothly and with a decent buyer and seller base, I will certainly consider using them.
Also will be interested to see if they have will have BIN options. I like to mix up the selling strategies, and some oddball type things are certainly better letting sit for a bit to wait for the right buyer to find it on a search engine, then letting it rip in a short auction time frame.
