But for sure I lost $500 and the Chinese Gold Panda. I have not sold on eBay since. I now use the dreaded 3rd party consigners everyone here hates, but RP and PWCC have always done right by me.

Will you continue to use PWCC even though he has since been booted off Ebay?

First, let me say, I have never spoken a word to anyone at PWCC. And I am literally across the country from them, But, I have no problem with them.

However, I will not continue to sell with them I don't think ,as I like the turnaround time and broader eyes that Probstein will have. FWIW , I only sold through my Vault account. A convenience thing I suppose, and No , I have not emptied my Vault. I am going to see how this plays out.

This is a plug for a service I offer.

I take items on private consignment, I have a large and growing email list of buyers and do about a show a month. My consignment fee for more expensive items is usually comparable or less than Ebay fees. I have private insurance to cover items to and from me. PM me or email me at hcv123@att.net if you would like to discuss further.

Regarding Ebay - as others have mentioned, I suspect it has more to do with the process unfolding as expected (tracking, delivery confirmation, item as described), etc. than the value of the item. If you choose to do it yourself - private insurance is a great idea and DEFINITELY "adult signature required".
