And there it is. "A lot" Not all...as some assume. At least Leon is being realistic.
A lot probably do...especially those on this forum. And just as true...a lot probably don't. They bid to win and then endure the BP afterwards.
I think some of you have conformed your logic to fit in with the old school auction rules. "This is the way it is, so how can I rationalize it in a way that makes it more palatable?".
Funny...I looked up the definition of bid. It's the offer of a certain price for something. Didn't see anything in there about multiplying by 1.2 to get to that price.

If you can spend a $1000 then just bid up to $800......then add the Buyers Premium, which is usually 20% to your $800 bid, and that is $960, which leaves $40 for shipping.
