I don't think anyone is really arguing with 707's right to run their business. Several posts upthread have specifically said they can price cards any way they want. I think the issue that this pricing, in combination with ebay dump days, creates a lot of clutter for normal ebay cruising.
Suppose I had 2,000 T206 commons in low grade, priced them at $700 each and dumped them all on ebay 3x per year. Not only would that be irritating, but one could also argue that it approaches intentional interference with ebay's listings and with the concurrent auctions of smaller sellers.
There is a point at which listing hundreds or thousands of cards at prices for which they cannot reasonably be expected to sell goes from a nuisance to an interference. And yet the simple return argument in the hypothetical above would be that I have the right to price my cards as I see fit, and that should be the end of the discussion.
I am not suggesting that any dealer is intentionally interfering with ebay. Obviously. But I am saying is that you can describe a place where a line has been crossed, and there are people here that feel like some dealers' practices are at least rising to the level of discomfort.
But no one is saying they don't have the right to price their cards.
