Whenever I read someone railing against BP or condemning an auction house for it, I immediately wonder what other simple things in life they can't grasp. As you say, if every bidder is paying it, it doesn't matter at all. Now, if some bidders are being allowed to skate on the BP or are being given reduced rates, that's another story.

Bidders should be more pissed that some bidders in auctions are charged sales tax and others aren't (based on the state in which they live). Now that's the uneven playing field they mistakenly think BP is. And even that isn't the fault of the auction house but rather rules set up by the government.
