I've had this on my mind for a while. When you sell something in CS, you pay a price up front depending on how much it costs and the duration of the listing, but if the item doesn't sell, you don't get that money back. Traditionally, when an item is sold on consignment, the seller only takes his percentage when the item is sold. Sort of like how Ebay works. If your item doesn't sell, you don't get charged any of the fees. That's kind of the whole point of consignment: if no sale is made, neither party is in debt to the other.

So....how does the CS system in PL/SL make sense for the seller? And why don't you get your money back if the item doesn't sell? IMHO it should be considered a returnable deposit.

Just thoughts that were on my mind grapes.
