Fairly typical of a generalist eBay seller, I suspect. This is one seller that
I avoid due to poor or vague descriptions/pictures. But look back at their
recent completed auctions - less than 25% sold (first time). Many get re-listed
multiple times.
So they are clearly overpricing everything. Unless they are stupid, one can
only assume they are making enough on what they are selling to cover their eBay
placement fees on the failed lots. I suppose sellers like these are keeping the
fees down for everyone else.
