Chargebacks, predominantly. IMO if you're vetting your bidders it doesn't matter, but clearly AH like cash/zelle/wire since they aren't easy to contest, if at all. Additionally, even if having to pay the fee, a lot of cards offer rewards that offset close or all of the cost in the for of cash-back rewards. I have a few that pay north of 2% for all purchases. To your point, many bidderrs would probably extend themselves a bit further with a CC then with cash or wire.
