Buyer premiums do come with the territory of non-ebay auction sites (with only one exception I know of). You just have to account for it in your bidding. If you bid 100 on a card remember that you are actually bidding 118.50 and do so accordingly. I think this allows the cosigner to be told they get 100% of the bids, when in reality there is an amount the cosigner isn't getting and it is going straight to the auction house.
