eBay prices will always been inflated to cater to eBay's horrendous "collectible" category fees, and PayPal fees. eBay is making about 3-4 times the margin than the bullion dealer on each sale.
Yeah iv only just come to realize how expensive ebay is to use. hopefully I can do most of my buying through forum members but im also very lucky to have an excellent dealer here in Melbourne (gold stackers).
