As Joe said above, Ebay couldn't care less about the value of cards or most collectibles in general (which are but a sliver of the overall eBay pie), and certainly didn't tailor their approach to dupe VCP into showing higher prices for them. I do think the general sentiment is the same though: If they make it look like sellers are getting higher prices for their merchandise in general, it encourages more casual observers to jump on and sell their own stuff. It won't fool the hardcore eBay users, but that's not who it's aimed at. Just another instance of eBay making a grab for attracting new customers and in the process making things harder for their established users.
Edited to add: Good grief, I didn't realize who I was responding to. I still stand by my comments, but just, good grief...
