Effectively yes. You're basically paying COMC a commission for handling the sales back and forth.
WARNING: If you're going to list them way under value (since you may not have store credit or you want to reduce fees), I would initially list both cards with high prices (aka double your actual value) so they do not get immediately bought at a discount by a third party searching for newly listed. Once they've been listed at a high price, then mark them not for sale for a couple days. Then coordinate a time where you talk on the phone and list one card and have the other guy ready to pounce when it's relisted (it won't show up in the newly listed this way and most people will think it's already been sold). Once one is purchased, the buyer then lists his card at the same price and the original seller pounces.
I prefer to just mark the thing double, then have the buyer submit a half price offer and pay COMC 5% transaction fee for the privilege.
