There is no buyers premium on ebay.
There are fees to the seller, but to the buyer, the price you pay is the
price the auction ended at (plus postage/packing/extortion)

What are YOU talking about? Might be helpful to your case if you'd go
look for yourself. This is something new. It's NOT a normal ebay auction
and you cannot bid in the normal ebay fashion.
Ebay doesn't allow advertising for sales outside of the auction and I
was about to report this guy last night when I read it's being done in
conjunction with ebay. I rather suspect it's an attempt by ebay to tap
directly into the industrial auction market, ala Dovebid.
