I don't see the problem with it because they are taking the risk of possibly not being able to sell something they've bought. People have always paid for convenience and that's really what it boils down to.
Most people can't scan eBay and Y! regularly and miss things they might be looking for. And I think it's worth paying a bit more for better photos/styling and fit pics and measurements. Auctions and classifieds can be a crap shoot and not all people are cut out to be sellers and won't answer questions or shoot fit pics.
The market dictates a fair price. If you happen upon something really cheap, there's nothing wrong with selling it for what it's really worth because if the price is too high, it simply won't sell.
A lot of things on EBay come from Yoox and those people will mark something up 500% and let it sit there for a year. Or it comes from century 21 or something similar.
I guess I like the idea of being able to conveniently browse a wide range of brands/labels that are non-retail from a reliable seller who understands that details and presentation are important when buying online.
