The seller is supposed to do what has always been done and factor in expenses when selling an item.

(cost of card) + (costs to sell) + (profit wanted) = selling price

Pretty simple.

Obviously, if you bought a Steve Sax rookie card for $20 the specifics of your selling price equation may have to change a bit to :

(cost of card) + (costs to sell) - (loss willing to accept) = selling price
