ralfsnart Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 04/29/2018 2:26 pm So, I do not like ebay just to get that out of the way. I figured I would try to sell a few coins on there and see how it goes. through experiences in my other hobbies I really hate shipping outside of Canada so my question is If you have a 100 bidders on a Canadian coin, about how many of those bids would be from the US? Just trying to figure out how bad I am limiting the "buyers pool" by limiting my shipping to my home field. Thanks for any advice, I need lots LOL Edited by ralfsnart 04/29/2018 2:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/29/2018 3:16 pm I can speak for Minnesota collectors, next to your border. Most coin shows have a large selection of Canadian coins, especially dollars. They sell quite well. I'm not sure of a percentage you might lose, but you would certainly lose a few, depending more on your postal costs than on any other factor. ebay isn't bad. You just have to play their game.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 04/30/2018 4:22 pm Not sure you want to hear this. But more than 50% of my ebay sales, go to US collectors who collect Canadian coins. ebay allows them access to coins that their local coin dealers and coin shows do not... Silver is always a tricky beast, and I insist on charging shipping fees to include shipment by expedited mail (includes tracking). Non-silver coins and coins worth less than $50, I just use letter mail postage.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 1:12 pm Shipping between the US and Canada isn't bad, provided we aren't talking big bucks coins. The floor price of a first class (tracked) package within the US is $2.66 right now (including paypal/eBay discount); I just shipped a coin to Canada for $3.50. I have purchased from Canadian sellers who only charge about $3 for shipping - I imagine it costs them less than that, or not much more. Report this Post to the Staff
silverai Valued Member Canada 117 Posts	Posted 06/03/2018 5:11 pm I think 50/50. It also depends on the shipping fee. If your coin value is low and shipping fee to US is high, the # of US bidder will drop as well. Report this Post to the Staff
