I am merely frustrated at the complicated way that auction fees are charged. It would be so much simpler to charge a flat commission and let the items sell for what they fetch. As I noted, the money could be the same if the % is jiggered. Since the simple approach is not the one chosen by the auctioneers, there has to be a non-mathematical reason for their choice and, as I noted, I think I know what it is.
