Nope. [Does Card manufacturer exist without collectors?]

Do they have millions of sellers?

Yep. [Good thing they do because I like to search for the best deal]

Do they charge too much in fees?

Yep. [Depends on what you consider to much? How much would you get for a card at a card shop? 25-30% BV]

Do sellers get charged again by PayPal?

Yep. [You dont have to accept PayPal, money order or cash works nicely]

Does eBay own PayPal?

Yep. [Its a Business not a non profit organization]

Sorry but I had to put my 2 cents in, you want fee free transactions then I recommend Craigslist but you wont find the buyer market very strong.

Good lord, here we go with the hair splitting.

I never said I didn't like selling on eBay.

All I said was it would be great if sellers got eBucks too, you know, as a perk?

The only "perk" that sellers get is a chance to sell more stuff for lower listing fees — but the final sale fees do not change!

But thanks for the input.

Not really splitting hairs, does anyone else remember selling their cards back in the 80-90's. 1st you had to find a shop and then they would pick through your stuff and low ball you for resale value. I love eBay and have sold 1000's of items on there with no complaints on fees via paypal or eBay. Why should sellers get something? I think they got cold hard cash in their paypal account which is good enough for me, they are making probably 30-40% more on eBay than in a local market.

Main question to ask yourself is how many times have you found something to purchase then asked yourself I wonder how much I can get it on eBay for?

You are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else but just be prepared for comments like mine. I really enjoy a good debate.

I'll quote myself, again:

You are correct about the advantages.

Obviously.

I just dont know where they would be able to justify that expense, eBay Bucks was designed to lure buyers onto their site. If your a power seller you do get a 20% discount on final value fees or atleast I do.
