I understand the premise, I think maybe my question was not clear.

So early in the progression and with less views, I would be insane to think that there would be T206 Cobbs or Goudey Ruths. My assumption would be that it would be a fairly decent option for those selling 150 dollar or less cards that often take great losses with the piling on of fees or sitting for months in BIN limbo. If the base grows, someone could easily create a real time PWCC model that could be hobby changing.

What I was wondering was if anyone has attempted this and found any success? I feel that as a seller completely eliminating the aspect of nonpayer's would be comforting and a perception of better seller protection.

Also, the follow-up was if anyone knew someone or is currently using it, I would be tempted to watch the auction feed and support those attempting new options. As it is real-time it sounds a bit fun.

I fully believe that fees, tax changes, NPBs, and a general seeming disdain for their sellers is killing eBay like a cancer. I use only auction houses for selling for ease of paperwork and the slow shrink of available product is visible on eBay. The expectation in my mind is this will continue.

As of now eBay is becoming the Facebook of marketplaces, full of only older users like myself that are slow adopters of new tech. It is 5 years at the current pace of becoming Myspace.
