Yeah, that's recent to. They're giving less juice and charging seller's premiums where they didn't used to.
Fairly recently I sent a submission of modern-ish cards I didn't really want to handle myself to the vault, to eventually auction/sell on the Goldin platform.
There was no additional sellers premium or listing fee for anything that sold over $25.00. Now that bottom level was jacked all the way up to $2500 bucks, on top of the 2% increase in the buyers premium.
So essentially, a 20% selling fee went up to a 27% selling fee, since I don't generally play in the higher end playground.
I had what was left sent back to me. I guess I'll go back to dealing with the hassle of Ebay myself.
I understand them not wanting to handle that stuff. They probably discovered they didn't have enough incentive to inventory, store, handle and ship out the cheaper cards in their weekly auctions.
