+AtlantaGal Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) As soon as I receive payments for the two charity auctions I've held thus far, I'll be listing another one. This time it's none other than a Johnnie Lacy coin (#95)! Johnnie has graciously donated one of his highly sought after coins in the name of good will. So keep your eyes peeled for this listing later this coming week! Edited September 25, 2005 by AtlantaGal Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Compared to $25 or $41, sure. But your coins are priceless. Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Compared to $25 or $41, sure. But your coins are priceless. That's funny. For a coin to sell for $41 on ebay there needs to be two people willing to spend $40. Take the money! I hope the seller isn't deflated in the event that no additional bids are made on subsequent auctions..... Link to comment

I checked the auction, and I had been pushed to my max bid. It offered me the chance to up my max bid, so I did, then, it raised my previous bid by $2.50! Oh well, it would have happened eventually.

+AtlantaGal Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 They caught onto the the "no credit card paypal wording". The wording is fine as long as the paypal credit card box is NOT checked. In order to list a charity auction, the paypal credit card HAS to be checked. I can relist with that wording omitted and probably will within the hour. I just have to check with eBay live help on something first. Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Johnnie Lacy Geocoin - Benefits Red Cross Take II, lol I'm going to edit out my other links to avoid confusion. If you quoted that former listing, please edit your post. Also, if you win this auction, if I have to, I can upgrade my account to take credit cards (and then change my mind the next day after receiving payment and revert to my paypal personal account status again - there's always a loophole, lol) Link to comment

+Damenace Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Forgive my ignorance if this question has been asked, but how is a bidder assured that the money paid for these charity coins is actually going to the charity? Is this all arrange through Ebay or is it an on your honor system for the seller to forward the money? Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) Forgive my ignorance if this question has been asked, but how is a bidder assured that the money paid for these charity coins is actually going to the charity? Is this all arrange through Ebay or is it an on your honor system for the seller to forward the money? You have the same credit card on file as you do to be an ebay seller. If you have not paid for the charity auction(s) by the second Monday after your listing ends (or filed a non-paying bidder statement in that time period), they automatically charge your credit card on file. Personally, I pay for the listings I host as each payment is received so I can check-off to waive the 45-day grace period until the charity receives the funds. When this is waived, the charity gets the money immediately. I received payments for both my other listings on Monday and paid for the items at that time.

+AtlantaGal Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It's definitely a cumbersome process. Not anywhere near as seemless or easy as the eBay Auctions for America (after 9/11) was. I found (and reported) a technical bug in Mission Fish's payment system as well. An additional note, all seller fees still come out of the sellers pocket, howver, eBay agrees to donate all of those for 100% charity auctions. So the sellers of these auctions are donating a little bit of $ also. Link to comment
+evrik Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 This is crazy! It's up to $15.50 (Georgia Geocoin) now with 6 days to go. BTW, the Washington Geocoin that sold the other day on eBay went for $36.00. I hope this isn't a starting trend. It's hard enough to collect coins now without re-sellers getting in on it. Maybe they should mint more to avoid the price inflation ... Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Maybe they should mint more to avoid the price inflation ... No. With all collectibles, the lower the availability, the more value the item has. Link to comment
