this is great, they help you sell your domains at the price you were willing to sell.
it is fair that they get paid for the service
nothing wrong here, it is commission based sales business 101

if you look at the example,
the difference is 295.5$ , they have to get paid for the sale
the seller will still receive 80% of 1995$, the money he wanted in the first place

great i am very happy when i sell domains on afternic,
and don't care at all about how much the partner got to facilitate the sale.
Actually my portfolio would be at loss without the Afternic sales
