Supply and demand. When sellers see they can't reduce their inventory they will either have to sit on it or drop the prices. If enough people just sit on the side lines and stop purchasing I think you'll see a thaw in prices.

ebay is just offering a different avenue for sellers to hawk their goods. It's a revenue stream for them. They get listing fees if the card doesn't sell and they get a piece of the action if it does sell. I think if they figured that the BINs were hurting their auction bottom line they would figure a way to take more money for the BINs to make up for any losses.
