Collecting coins is alive and well in Singapore. Singapore is a beautiful city, with many interesting features. It is an island state, a hive of activity, and has a unique history. It shares much of its history with Malaysia, but has enough differences that it separated from Malaya when Malaysia became independent from Great Britain. Singapore has never looked back.
The eBay site has interesting features that are not available on other sites. There is a lack of fees in certain areas that exist on every other eBay site that I know of. It also has problems that are not found on any other site that I am aware of. They are caused by the relatively small size of Singapore, compared to the relatively large countries that are served by any other eBay site. It seems that some buyers will contact sellers, argue for a reduced price, and withdraw the lot from eBay, concluding a private sale. This, although against eBay policies, is very hard to prevent. The other complaint is people feel there is a lack of material available on the site. This is also a consequence of the relatively small size of the Island state. eBay will have to do some enforcing to slow down the first action, and much advertising to get more items offered to win the second area. Collectors can also sign up with or visit several other eBay sites. eBay shows currency conversions in many different currency units.
The Singapore site offers many types of paper money, and surprisingly few coins. To visit this site, click here to visit the coins and paper money on eBay.com.sg. When I wrote this, the Singapore site had about 6600 offerings of paper money, and only about 2200 offerings of paper money. eBay Singapore will definately help those who are collecting coins in Singapore.
