I believe the eBay and PayPal fees are covered in the PWCC fees, so they are not purely incremental. If the consignor sold them himself directly on eBay, the total selling fees would probably be in the same range. And while they don't send catalogs (which are probably unnecessary and wasteful in the digital world), they do seem to invest in online marketing like emails, banners, etc., perhdps much as any AH.
I have no vested interest to defend PWCC; just trying to help clarify my understanding of the facts.
