A card (or pennant or slab with a pretty flip etc) with a market value of $1000 is up for auction.

Option 1) 0% buyer premium, 10% seller fee. Top bidder bids $1000. Top bidder pays $1k, auction house gets $100 and seller gets $900.

Option 2) 11.11% buyer premium, 0% seller fee. Top bidder bids $900. Top bidder pays $900 + [buyer premium of $900 x 11.11%] = $1k, auction house gets $100 and seller gets $900

Six in one, half dozen the other.
