Nothing will ever replace Ebay; first to market usually always wins.

Their customer service IMO is top shelf; takes less than a minute for them to call you back, people are always friendly and courteous.

Ebay is a tremendous platform from which to sell vintage toy soldiers/retired items; new stuff, not so much.

Instead of unloading your entire collection in bulk to buy whatever hot stock you are chasing, you'd be better served selling the items one at a time on Ebay, although from my experience lately the glossy K & C market has cratered.

I bought a huge plastics collection about a week ago and it's flying out the door; I am looking at probably not attending shows until the Spring of 2022 unless there is a huge reversal with things here in the US regarding COVID restrictions, mainly mask wearing, so for now, Ebay is the way to go for me.

Does it have its warts? Sure, nothing is perfect, but my experience has been extremely positive, YMMV...............................

I was recently selling stuff but ended it all on the end of April, i was unsure on if the costs were higher than before, how does that 12% compare with was being paid before the changes?

I think it was about 12% before...but I'd think a little reduction would be nice?

I thought it was 10% ebay, 5% paypal so a total of 15%.
I just sold something about two hours ago have not been paid yet. I want to see how the new system works. Will it take days to clear your bank?
 
it was a bit over 13% before...
Ebay offered a small discount when they took over payments...
about 12.5% then...and still now...
probably will go over 13% soon as most of us are now converted and have no other options...

It was about 13.5% for me. Sure, not a huge change, but it is more money going to me.

It is what it is. You can complain about how much they take percentage wise, but selling has the best chance on eBay. It's such a larger pool of potential buyers.
