When are we going to set up a legal defense fund for when Ebay sues
RCC? The number of posts complaining about Ebay's greed are getting
more frequent. Is the end near?

Careful Beekeep. You might get named in a suit as one of the ring `Up
Headers' in the campaign to damage ebay's potential prosperity.

Vcoin is decent, mainly ancients, but soon to have world coins. It's made up
of Dealers that seem to be all on the up and up, decent reputations. I think
they have a filter / policy to
keep out sleazy dealers from Florida and others that aren't reputable.

Do they actually sell stuff there? It looks more like a coin focused
search engine.

Ya Ya! Let's bash Florida!

There are good dealers (most of them, in fact) from all fifty states, as
well as all countries represented here on rcc. What's this Florida
business?

I took a look. almost 100,000 us coins listed on ebay. that's why they can
charge as much as they.

and their fees will continue to increase as long as there is no effective
competition.

I think they will continue to raise fees until their profits start
declining. eBay has been successful because people can make money using
their service. I think they are getting very close to the point where that
will not be the case.
