I was just surfing eBay, and I see their Live Auctions have buyer premiums. Does anyone know how long they have had this feature? I wonder what their thinking was when adding this feature.
Happy Holidays! :)

Ebay live auctions have always had a premium.
It is generally what the auction house charges plus 5 percent for eBay's cut.
This adds a total buyer's fee for items purchased through eBay's live auctions of 22.5 to 25 percent on top of the bid.
I generally just go to the original auction's site and place my bids there. I can bid more instead of paying a higher fee.
