Depending on what you care about, whether an auction house will ship you the card you won and paid for may not be the only issue. At least one guy I know cares whether an auction house is engaged in shill bidding, letting consignors win back their own cards for no fee while showing a sale, etc. Others may care whether an auction house is offering cards from collectors and ethical dealers, or is running lots of card doctor inventory. Since the latter two issues are not transparent, trust and character may be relevant.
