Ebay and their shipping rules might have been corrected

1st off I do Not have a horse in this race... I am just stating some facts that some of you may not know about when selling on Ebay...

The big issue is the fee's that a seller incurs when they sell an item. Ebay's cut is a flat 10% (exception being High end items, such as a 10,000.00 side x side)
Then the seller takes an additional beat down for at least 2.9% or more on the payment method side.

The positive side of using Ebay as a seller is the cost of selling over there is relative when compared to how many "eye's are on the listing" Trust me you get a Ton more exposure than any other method of advertising..

Now is this reason for tearing peoples head off? emphatic NO! and as a buyer who is educated will know better than to even bother with a fool like that...

There are Many Legit sellers, and Many fair sellers, and there are deals to be had...

I do sell a lot on Ebay for my RC car parts business, done so for 18+ years.. I have also sold air guns over there, quite few actually, and I will say i have sold more there than in the AN classifieds.
I price them fair as a Buy it Now and they usually sell within a day or 2, again a LOT more exposure.
The other positive about selling over there is the discounted shipping costs. I have accounts with All of the major shipping companies and I always compare when I sell parts on Ebay and they always crush the quotes i get direct from shippers.. It is a volume thing..

Bought it 2 days ago on ebay in very good condition , has new seals. The pistol shoots great, but the seller did a poor job of packing it, it seems to have arrived without damage,but the case was broken.

Isn't that an early MKI Impact? Still has the telescoping shrouds. I think its overpriced by several hundred considering 2025 prices lately. I've seen M3s at similar prices.
Yeah, i didnt notice when i first saw it. There is a silver mk2 on there decent, but no bargains to say.

There have certainly been some good deals, I saw a few DRS with lots of upgrades sell for CHEAP. But the best deals are usually sold within an hour or so and the rest sit for weeks or months. Like anything else I suppose, you have to get there first to have a chance at a bargain.

Devils advocate….There can’t possibly be a single impact sold off there in months and months.
This is not true at all.
In fact, there were several FX Impacts, that sold yesterday alone, on Ebay.

Maybe from the guy in silver spring MD. All the other sellers are (I’ll be really nice) wishful thinkers. Then again some people well I just won’t even say what’s on my mind 🤣 All I can say for myself is that while I look at eBay regularly it is like the last resort in my mind of finding something. Majority of guns are way over priced on there. Is what it is.

The Impact that you said was so overpriced, actually sold yesterday, .... so was it overpriced?

Yes. People are uninformed or just stupid. Sorry but that is all i can say for someone that would pay almost 1400 for a first gen impact. Especially when on the same ebay platform for a few hundred more a new m3 can be had. Have to admit it’s pretty dumb. Hey all kinds of people in this world and kudos to seller for finding a ………keep that to myself.
