Ebay madness

You pay your final value fee based on the closing auction amount, not on
what you discount it for. Granted the FVF system has a credit system but you
have to know it's there and go thru the motions with it. If they put a crazy
amount up in proxy then they should be prepared to pay anything between the
bottom and top of that. If you want a cap on price you can also post it as a
buy-it-now (same as beginning bid) and that way you tell them from the
beginning that you just want that amount, not anymore than that.
