Why are the premiums higher on eBay? Is it just ignorance/lack of access to the market here? I'd always rather sell here, but the markup on some items on eBay is very tempting. Yes, I understand the chargeback risk. Thoughts?
Plenty of reasons why premiums are high on ebay: very limited supply of cas coins, people don't know this forum exists, people are unwilling to deal with total internet strangers (ebay is "safe"), some people just have more money than good sense...
It is tempting. I've bought and sold on ebay many many times. In fact I just sold a 2013 brass 1btc for 6000usd on ebay. Immedately turned the net back into ~2btc. I accept the risk for the profit, and there are several other sellers that do as well. I'm sure if more people jumped on the ebay boat, the premiums would go down. So please do not sell there.
Yep that is the risk of ebay, but sometimes the profits are worth the danger...

Every single time I've sniffed around anything relating to crypto on Ebay it was scammy. I seriously doubt this would be any different. There's no bleedin' way I'd ever sell via Paypal. It would have to be bank transfer and even then I'd be wondering.
This isn't allowed on Ebay UK. It's classifieds only.
Technically these are not allowed on ebay US either (outside of classified only). Enforcement is lax and subjective.
