Where does my situation end up? Curious about opinions. Over the last few years I've sold many items on ebay and several forums. I'll post all cards on all mentioned sites and when it sells (usually cheaper on the forus) I delete it from all other venues. If a buyer contacted me or vice versa I've edited the listing to reflect the agreed price. Not always the other way around. I pay my listing fees.
I see where the argument for ebay losing money at the end. but being an online entity where can they control what you do with your items?
If you list it on a bunch of different venues, the service of connecting you with an interested buyer has been done by whatever site you sold it through and they are the ones who should be getting paid. So if the buyer found the card on here or Blowout or something, nobody gets paid (well except for you). I don't think anybody is arguing otherwise, ebay has no right to money for a card you sold to a buyer who found it on a message board or a card show just because it happens to be listed on ebay at the time. They had nothing to do with the sale. I don't really understand the sentence I bolded above, though. Why would you alter the ebay listing when you sold the card on a message board rather than just ending it and being done with it?
