As we argued about a month or two ago, I think it largely comes down to a question of whether buyers really do reduce their bids to factor in the BP.
Naturally, there is diversity of opinion on this board.
I'm of the opinion that some buyers adjust their bids. But my read of the empirical evidence suggests that many do not. Simply because the vast majority of the bids I see at AHs don't make any sense once the juice is factored in. But perhaps I'm misinterpreting the data.
But if you assume that buyers do adjust their bids to factor in the juice, then clearly 20% BP + 7.5% seller cost is going to be higher than what you're paying on eBay. As Leon noted, you would also need to factor in sales tax, which can vary from AH to AH, although eBay is always going to charge it, unless you're shipping to a vault.
