·Well you don't want the EBay / chrono24 experience, you've let it be known here that you've got a watch to sell. Have you thought about a local reputable High Street AD/watch retailer who might take it to sell on commission?

·people loose watches and saying they never got them. Or returning a fake watch i just dont want to deal with them and the fees are very high on ebay
Those are risks wherever you sell and you are made aware of the eBay fees beforehand so not sure what you expect with this question. But I'm sure you'll get some PMs here from this sales post.

·There are plenty of on line dealers who will buy your watch, take a couple of pics and send them around to the various dealers.
The problem with commission selling is it often takes a long time to liquidate the watch as the dealer has little reason to aggressively market it. Better to sell it outright.

·Or if it's a really desirable piece, you might want to put it in an auction.

·It takes 5 minutes to send the info in to get a quote back from Crown and Caliber / Hodinkee. The quote will definitely be less (and maybe a lot less) than what you get in a private sale, but you eliminate 100% of the eBay/Chrono24/private sale issues you raised. Good luck.

·Ya a lot of the online dealers offer dirt.
That may be the case for some, depending on the watch as others have mentioned. I would also make sure you do your research on what the going rate on the secondary market is for your watch and use that as a guide on what may be a fair price (minus and fees or commissions). While the prices dealers may be willing to buy at is lower than what you want to get, it may still be the best option when taking into account the hassle of selling elsewhere, the time it will take for it to sell, and any fees.

·eBay will cover you but they will always side with the buyer but there’s a chance insurance on the package will get declined.
With the current "verification" system eBay has, the watch is shipped TO a verifier first, and they repack and reship out. How does a damage claim work in a case like this? Because it's not being shipped directly from seller to buyer.

·The seller is only responsible for shipping the item to the address provided, which in this case would be the eBay Authenticators address. It is the sellers responsibility to securely package and ship the item with insurance for the sold amount, should anything happen. If any loss or damage occurs in this stage, the seller is responsible. Once the item has been authenticated, the Authenticator will repackage and ship the item to the buyer using a label provided by eBay, which will be insured for the full sold amount. If any damage or loss occurs at this stage, the responsibility falls to eBay as it was their label that was used. It’s a similar process for eBay’s Global Shipping Program. The seller is only responsible for shipping the item to the distribution hub.
