Would you guys use the U.S version even if u only wanna post to within Australia?

If you dont regularly use the US ebay you will have to wait for a 21 day period before you can access your funds. But i definitely think that you would get a better price using it.

I always use the US ebay for NBA cards because .au always comes out with a lower final price I find.

 

[mattyeah]

How often is regularly?

 

[sgt_pepper]

it wouldnt make a difference would it? i mean US bids would only drive up the price IF they bid, but they wouldnt be bidding because you wont post to them. so really only aus buyers will bid...?

Yeah but most Aussies search on us eBay rather then aus eBay. So that must count for something, although your really shooting your self in the foot with the final price by not sending to USA.

 

[ratsdm]

I would send to the USA, it will hurt your price.

And regularly, i am not sure, I think you need to have over $200 sales in the last month. Not sure what the parameters are, there are a few.

Confused you would send to the U.S or you wouldn't?

If I was you i would offer to send to the USA. for one card it is $23 to send it registered, do that if you are worried about it going missing.

O.K Last question with the charges that ebay and paypal take what is the benefit of selling their as opposed to here apart from a wider potential buyer pool?

 

[ratsdm]

I think that the charges are the same in US and aus ebay, but i am not 100% sure of that.

 

[mattyeah]

I meant in general if you had the choice would you prefer to sell here for slightly less up front and avoid the ebay fees?

 

[sgt_pepper]

id prefer to sell here, but that can take a long time, and thats if you find someone that wants the card at all. on e-bay youre more likely to actually get rid of the card. i always look here first but more often than not no one is interested and i end up using e-bay, where it almost always sells.

 

[mattyeah]

Thanks, cause I'm thinking of purging basically my entire collection and starting again with a more focussed game plan.

 

[mattyeah]

Are there any other Oz forums like this?

 

[aussiemjfreak]

But no, there is no other oz sites that even come close to this one!

 

[mattyeah]
