Im in!
Its not really a category that I sell in, but I do have doubles of toys that I personally collect – and a new TRUSTWORTHY site is just whats needed!
ANY sale taken away from eBay – even if Im not involved is a good thing!
I would not be holding my breath. eBay unfortunately has had a hold on the collectibles market from the get go and it will not be changing with this new site
Let me see if I understand this……I can only list if my items are in the “vault”. I have to send them my items? Or is it in a virtual vault?(I do understand in order to authenticate they have to have the item). Do all items have to be authenticated? They list the items? I understand they ship the items. All the seller has to do is give them the items? I notice there’s a $25 processing fee.
This sounds like a marketplace for more higher end collectibles, which is not me. I’ll have to do more research.
I agree with @spooky, Ebay won’t change, but it’s nice to know there’s a site that isn’t out for a quick money grab with fees and making sellers jump through hoops.
