This conversation seems silly to me. There are only two reasons not to provide a complete picture of the card both front and back...laziness or you're hiding something. Given the volume of listings he has, it's not laziness.
And the point was made earlier that the seller has the right to charge whatever he wants as a BIN. By the same token, the buyer has the right to offer whatever he wants. These things aren't fixed retail prices...negotiating is part of this hobby.
As for eBay fees being the reason...totally and completely irrelevant. I heard this same argument from a dealer at the National a few years ago. Told me he had to charge over value to make up for the cost of his table. As if his cost of doing business somehow inherently made the cards more valuable. Guess how much he sold to me? $0. And it was clear from the time I spent at his table that other collectors felt the same way.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can't be a seller for long with no buyers.

You could not be more wrong. Most collectors do not ask for back scans so why wast time making back scans of every card listed. If asked then post a back scan to the item. Negotiating is part of the hobby but there is a limit. If I see something for a good price I buy it. I do not try and chisel the dealer. Some buyers can be very uncouth and make themselves look cheap.
