eBay

If you are collecting coins and paper money, I don't see how you can survive without eBay. It has many opportunities for you to add to your collection, or to let someone else add to their collection by selling your items. I talk about eBay in more detail on my auctions-world-wide blog.

I generally like eBay, both as a seller, and as a buyer. I have done very well in some months, and not so well in others. I am now putting more items in my store, and will be having others coming up on the weekly auctions. I have been having some problems lately with customers not receiving my goods, and with one customer who says he sent me a money order that I did not receive. These are the problems with the eBay system, I guess. I sell US, Canadian, and world coins and paper money, and I try to have interesting pieces for sale. If you would like to visit my store, click here to visit coinsnpaper on eBay.ca.

If you are not a member of eBay yet, you can sign up quickly and easily. eBay has many national operations, in the US (the biggest site), Canada, Britain, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, The Philippines, and many other countries. You may want to sign up only once in your own country's site, or you may want to sign up in several countries. I have 2 different names, one that I use when buying, and one that I use when selling. I have also registered on both Canadian and US eBay. I am equiped to sell on any eBay site, and I will be investigating selling on several different sites. I list all my offerings to sell internationally, but I am not sure that they always show up on all the different national sites.

If you would like to visit some of the different National sites, I will make it easy for you. The first link is for the US eBay, which has many American items, of course, but also a huge amount of material from around the world. Click here to visit coins and paper money on eBay.com. When I wrote this, the US site had 233,529 offerings in coins and paper money.

The Canadian site lists many Canadian and world wide coins and paper money items. To visit this site, click here to visit coins and paper money on eBay.ca. When I wrote this, the Canadian site had 155,568 offerings in coins and paper money.

Australia has an interesting site. A number of my listings have appeared on the Australian site, as well. To visit this site, click here for coins and banknotes on eBay.com.au. When I wrote this, the Australian site had 9,216 offerings of coins and paper money.

The Singapore site offers many types of paper money, and surprisingly few coins. To visit this site, click here to visit the coins and paper money on eBay.com.sg. When I wrote this, the Singapore site had about 6600 offerings of paper money, and only about 2200 offerings of paper money.

Some offerings from different nations will show up on the listings of other countries. For example, I saw several listings in Italian on the Singapore listing. Be sure you click to see international listings if you are interested in world coins and paper money. This is supposed to show all listings that will ship to your country, from eBay sites around the world.

I hope this has helped to show you some of the interesting features of eBay, and how it will help you in your quest of collecting coins and paper money.
