Strengths for high-end: Massive buyer pool means maximum exposure Auction format can drive competitive bidding above market price Best Offer allows negotiation on Buy It Now listings Extensive buyer base of sports card crossover collectors who spend big Authentication service for cards over $500 (eBay partners with CGC for this) Limitations for high-end: Chargeback risk is real and eBay's seller protection has gaps for high-value items 13% fees on a $5,000 card = $650, which is painful Buyer-friendly dispute system can be exploited Listing quality varies wildly you're competing against professional dealers and random sellers Critical eBay tips for high-end: Always ship with signature confirmation (required by eBay for items over $750, but do it for anything over $500) Use eBay's promoted listings to get more visibility 2-3% of the sale is worth it if it attracts more bidders Document everything: photograph the card, the packaging process, the shipping label
It feels more like the market rewarding true scarcity and tournament history
