I don't think it is quite that simple, Frank, at least for cards; it isn't like the NYSE. There is a considerable segment of the collecting public for expensive cards that do not deal with Ebay for a variety of reasons. The same card that sells for $100 on Ebay frequently sells for considerably more in a major auction or even via sale here on the BST. Ebay's changes haven't made it any better, either; the place has become an abbatoir for sellers of late, with results far worse than auctions.
