You have a very generous heart Ken, and I compliment you upon your humanity.
When I said "--- less for the sellers." I was not thinking in terms of commissions, but rather in terms of how much the seller will receive for an item put to auction.
At the end of the day everything has a perceived value, and that value is what the buyer will usually not go far beyond, so if fees for buyers rise, that is an inbuilt element in total cost, and the hammer price will fall accordingly, resulting in a lower payment to the seller.
