Help selling lot
I’m selling a lot (personal collection) of bullion and currency total value probably around 10k+ my description is this below because I don’t have them listed out. But I might do that (it’s in my drafts now) just will take forever. There’s 20 pictures of items. I’m newer to eBay selling. What should I do and keep in mind for something of this value? I don’t want to get scammed either. I have it set for no returns. I don’t really wanna pay the huge fee so I hope it goes for more but not sure. I’d say around 7-8k in silver face alone,(some premium, some junk silver) 1k in gold, 500 between platinum and copper. Coins around 1000. And ton of bills around 2-3k guess. Being this high value what do I need to make sure and do? And how will the fee break down?
Huge currency, coin, and bullion lot, way too much to name, lot includes copper, silver, platinum, gold, us coins, us currency, world currency and ancient coins. Personal collection over years. Lots of morgans, eagles, silver quarters, silver dimes, tokens and everything you can really want in a collection. Grams, 1oz, 1.5oz, 2oz and 5 oz coins. Really have to look at the pictures to see what you’re getting. What you see is what you get. Great lot. Seeing how the auction goes if anyone is interested. Great collection to add if you’re just getting into it. Or great for someone whom auctions game style.

Selling bullion and coins online is very risky and as a new seller of this type of item you will be a prime target for scammers.
It is against eBay policy to list the quantity (value) you are looking to, they restrict the total amount to under $1000 across all your listings. https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/collectible-currency-policy?id=4337&st=3&pos=2&query=Collectible%20currency%20policy&intent=currency&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1217
Your no returns policy will not protect you. If a buyer opens a not as described refund you will have to accept and refund them. You can require them to return the item first but you pay the return cost. Be sure you understand how the eBay Money Back Guarantee works.

Buyers can also do a charge back with their payment source. Those disputes are very hard to win as a seller, you will have to refund and the chances of you getting the items returned is very slim.
It may be best to sell those items locally for cash
