The sellers get their money from the buyers, so who pays?

If the seller sets a higher start or higher reserve, then the buyer
pays, if he still wants it at the higher price. If it is the auction
competition that sets the price, then the buyer isn't going to bid more
because the seller fees are higher!! It really boils down to the fact
that the selling price is determined by the buyer and higher seller fees
aren't going to affect that. The buyer doesn't pay more.


Only if the seller accepts less that they wanted. If the seller has
to have $20, then the buyer pays that, the Ebay fees and shipping. Are
you willing to accept less for what you list, so the buyer doesn't pay
more?
