MountainKing Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't know of a single ebay seller who would prefer to sell on ebay due to their fees. I will gladly sell anything I have outside of ebay at a discount to avoid using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat1988 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The Baron said he is getting more Caps WC jerseys mid Feb. Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Anyone know what the going rate off eBay was for one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted1025 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Anyone know what the going rate off eBay was for one of these? Wouldn't expect much off the listing price since it's a current style and the demand seems to be high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Anyone know what the going rate off eBay was for one of these? My general experience with JB is $25-50 off depending on the demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarchelli Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Jb just responded to my email about discounting a hawks jersey (away) off ebay. He said $310 because hawks jerseys are very popular. (Incase anyone was curious about hawks jerseys.)

Silverback53 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 How high are the ebay fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarchelli Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I think it depends on the price of the item. Typically around 10% I think. So, ~$290 would be what he would make off ebay for a $325 item. Edited February 14, 2015 by scarchelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdems93 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 He also seems to give a bigger discount if you buy from him often. Ive bought 5 jerseys from him now and each time discount has gotten bigger. Such as my latest purchase of a hawks stadium series for way under what he listed it for on ebay.

TMLFAN Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 eBay and PayPal fees are 12% last time I checked. he should be giving at least that much of a discount off eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted1025 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 eBay and PayPal fees are 12% last time I checked. he should be giving at least that much of a discount off eBay. As a power seller though wouldn't his eBay fees be smaller than normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 eBay and PayPal fees are 12% last time I checked. he should be giving at least that much of a discount off eBay. In my experience, he doesn't necessarily give a discount equivalent to the eBay fees. But, that being said, I've never really tried to push him to do so.

scarchelli Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Yes, that's exactly what I was told. Plus the shipping cost ($17) makes it $342. So $310 is $32 off when he gets likely almost $6 off the $30 in fees, so really he makes only $6-8 after the off ebay discount. Assuming international shipping is in fact $17.

akteon Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) As a power seller though wouldn't his eBay fees be smaller than normal? It's not that he's a power seller, it's that he's a top rated seller. But you're right his fees are less. Regular eBay final value fee is 10% with $.30 insertion fee and PayPal is 2.9% plus $.30, which effectively comes out to 13.1% for a $300 jersey. If you have an eBay store (even a basic one), the final value fee drops to 9% and no insertion fee, dropping the total with PayPal to effectively 12%. As a top rated seller, you get 20% discount off final value fee so it drops to 7.2% and with the PayPal fee brings it to effectively 10.2% So with that in mind, if he offers a discount of more than 10% he's cutting you a break, because he's making less than if he sold it on eBay.

dsl135 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Not that it's a HUGE difference but he's actually paying 3.9% for PayPal fees for anyone outside of Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That raises everything I said by 1% obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecapn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I just had some dealings with Jersey Baron regarding finding a rare nameplate for a jersey I bought off him. Sold it to me dirt cheap, and quick to respond to boot. Nothing but good things to say about the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I actually just did the same. He hooked me up with a plate for my Ducks throwback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 My nameplate for my Bruins WC jersey came from him. $13 shipped from Canada to New York, and received it in four days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I asked about the Yellow Kings jersey and I got a strange reply from JB As I am in Ontario he will have to charge the 13% tax I have never paid that on any of his jerseys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sounds like maybe he got in trouble. If taxes work the same way they do in the US, he is supposed to collect that and turn it over to the government on a local sale. Sellers don't charge tax, they collect tax. It's your government that charges you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
