Norcal Jim Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 11/19/2008 10:22 am What is the best way to sell your 40% silver halfs? I sold some on E-Bay and after shipping, a bubble envelope, paypal and e-bay all took their part it did not leave much more than face value of the coins I sold. Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 11/19/2008 10:30 am I can sympathize. I just ran an auction on 56 different wheats from 1909-40. After ebay fees, paypal fees and priority mail shipping with delivery confirmation, I was negative $1 and change, not even counting the value of the wheats. I can see why many people have fled ebay. Perhaps you can sell on the forum here? Report this Post to the Staff
ceaton Pillar of the Community United States 1179 Posts	Posted 11/19/2008 10:38 am Its called ebay for a reason :) I think anyone who has sold stuff on ebay has had this happen a time or two. You can always try here or craigslist seems to be ok. Edited by ceaton 11/19/2008 10:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 11/19/2008 11:53 am To cover the fees many sellers on ebay charge more than normal cost for shipping and handling. Doing this also covers any losses for returns. Because most shipping and handling are non refundable. Example: $1 for coin and $3.00 for S&H. I myself refuse to pay that. There are other web stores that will only charge a few dollars for mult.in one purchase. Most I wheat's I have bought where 50cents to $1 in VG+ grade and a quantity of 5-6 coins I only paid $1-2 for S&H. Report this Post to the Staff
